When you upload your photos to your computer or phone, you'll notice the dates they were taken aren't accurate. When I started taking shots, the camera marked the files as January , and there's no way to set the camera's clock to the correct date. I can see where this could get annoying, but it doesn't seem like a deal breaker, especially because the actual photo isn't stamped with a date.
Just the file is. Another downside is that you can use the video function—it can take either a time lapse or 10 seconds of p video—only when the camera is connected to a power source via the included USB cable. When connected, you can toggle between the two video settings by selecting one of the last two color settings on the back of the camera; the sepia setting triggers the time-lapse option, and the blue setting gives you the second option.
If video is really important to you, you'll need to get a portable power bank to take videos. You'll also need to clip the camera to a tripod if you want to take a time lapse.
You'll need about 30 minutes of continuous picture taking for it to work. When you opt for the second option, the camera plays a little tune that is also captured in the finished video. I thought it was cute, but it may annoy some people.
Lastly, the Paper Shoot is in high demand and stock is low, so you might have to order the camera and wait a few weeks for it to arrive. Despite these few flaws, I still consider the fun little camera to be an integral addition to my collection. Even though I love cameras, I am in no way an expert on the details of fine photography.
The Paper Shoot is a basic, easy-to-use camera that makes beautiful photos, and you don't need a ton of knowledge to use it. It takes digital photos that look like film. Camera is thin and light. Cases and lenses can be changed. Fairly priced.

Retrieving your images from your disposable camera is a process. For disposable film cameras , you simply turn in the whole camera, the photo laboratory removes the film, develops the negatives, scans them, and in some cases, refurbishes the camera. Disposable film cameras have a small, fixed aperture usually between f8 — f However, the aperture is set at a deep depth of field that allows for most everything in the scene to be in focus.
This allows you to focus on framing and composing the scene while not having to worry about correct focus. Disposable cameras can still function in sub-zero temperatures with minimal problems. Since a disposable film camera has little, if any, electronic components there is no danger of shorted circuitry from condensation.

Film up to speed can go through x-ray unfazed. It is not recommended to allow film of higher speeds, like ISO to pass through x-rays.
NOTE: Digital cameras are not affected by x-rays. The electronic components do not interact with the x-rays at all, so there is no danger of erased frames or marred images from the radiation. Disposable cameras do have some metal in them, but very little with all the circuitry that is required to operate them.
