[newmemberz]

thinking to buy this single time use camera to have fun with.

any idea how to re-use this camera?

[newmemberz]

no one ever tried?

AFAIK, kodak disposables are not reusable cos their film canister is not ur normal kind.

and i might add, even fuji is not reusable. i tried... so far, only konica seems to be reusable.

kodak doesn't even bother to collect it back for recycling lorz.

How come you like to reuse disposables when proper used P&S cameras are much cheaper and can accomodate reloading?

haha no need to be sorry. it's jus all for fun bro! re-using a disposible camera might or might no give u a lomo effect as the lens used on a disposible are cheap.
some (like me for example) go thru the trouble of buying film now to keep til 2008 jus so they turn expired haha!
it's all in the name of fun and of course photography

so, the film isn't sold in the consumer market ah?
then how do I develop the film? just bring the cam to the photo lab?

one thing to note
waterproof instant cameras might lose it's waterproofing tightness once u open it.
I have a waterproof camera which is reloadable but it warns to say that waterproof housing is breached once i open it. i believe it has something to do with the pressure inside which is positive pressure and those keeps the water from entering.
But worth the try
jus make sure u have a back-up for the important shots if u succeeded in reloading it

they are all not the same. the one i recently picked up at MScolor was preloaded with ISO1600 film and comes with a small flash. thot i can reuse the cam becos of the flash... sadly, no.

try konota. they have a disposable underwater cam on sale there. but can't remember the brand. if u want a reusable underwater/waterproof cam, u are actually better off getting a Frogeye. PM me if u want one.
