I wanted a lightweight, compact, shatterproof, water-resistant and inexpensive camera for shooting black-and-white film at a New Year's Eve party and opted for Ilford's HP5 Plus Single-Use Camera. For $$ the camera includes a fixed-focal-length lens (about 28mm), flash, flash-ready indicator light, AA battery to power the flash and light, and a 24-exposure roll of HP5 Plus (400 ASA) film. This camera substantially exceeded my expectations. Just press the flash power button for about a second, aim the camera and shoot! You can take the camera to any lab that can process black-and-white negative film. I self-processed the film and obtained 31 good-quality images. Do I get better ones from my German-made rangefinder? Of course. But for under ten dollars, you get a ... MoreI wanted a lightweight, compact, shatterproof, water-resistant and inexpensive camera for shooting black-and-white film at a New Year's Eve party and opted for Ilford's HP5 Plus Single-Use Camera.

I have access to developmy film at school, that was the easy part, opening up the camera and such. The images on the negative looked great. So when I was all done, I took what was left of the camera (I had to crack it open of course to retrievethe film) and I literally got an electrical shock from the unit. The shock happened after I took out the battery. So if you process the film yourself, be careful about handling the camera and it was not a just a little shock it made my finger sting for over an hour. Other than that, it made good pictures, I will just be more careful next time.

The film is good and tolerant. However, the camera's performance was sketchy at best. Exposures were inconsistent. Did not handle room lighting without flash at all. Low contrast scenes were rendered poorly with poor negative density. Flash is a plus and a necessity for all exposures using this camera. Film advancement was also inconsistent. Some frames had very slight overlap while the spacing between other frames ranged from thin to normal to wide and as stated some frames overlapped at the edges. Maybe the camera was designed this way, but the travel distance on the shutter release is excessive. You have to push really deep to trip the shutter. Since the button is flush to slightly recessed, I assume to avoid accidental exposures, this long travel made it ... MoreThe film is good and tolerant.

Since the button is flush to slightly recessed, I assume to avoid accidental exposures, this long travel made it difficult at times to completely press the shutter button. Parallax error is substantial at close range and noticeable at even further distances. As for sharpness I have only processed the film at this time and cannot really speak to the sharpness of the focus. If I can repost later after printing a couple of prints and my contact sheet I will update this information. I have seen other one time cameras produce great results with much better consistency without the aforementioned problems. However, if you have to have a one time use in B&W for a class as I did before the instructor allows you to move on to digital, then this is really your only option out there.

I'm not sure how much need there is for disposable film cameras these days, but should you need one as I did, these are honestly pretty good. Aperture, focus, and shutter speed are fixed, and you should always use the flash unless in direct, mid-day sun. I'm not sure what kind of quality you'll get if you use a developing and scanning service that isn't very experience or doesn't care much, but if you have the film developed at a quality lab or develop and enlarge/scan and print as I did, you can get more than acceptable photos from these cameras. Of course, all of this praise is assuming you know what you're getting with a disposable camera. This will never match the quality of an SLR, but if for a camera made entirely out of plastic with few mechanical parts and ... MoreI'm not sure how much need there is for disposable film cameras these days, but should you need one as I did, these are honestly pretty good.

Nobody expects a disposable camera to produce great images. Surprisingly though, this camera actually did quite well. I purchased one of these for a social outing where I thought it would be fun, and it did not disappoint. As a 21 year old photographer and film camera collector, my friends are always fascinated when I bring around a camera they've never seen before, and this was no different. It had been a long time since anyone had seen a disposable camera, and using this was a ball. Anyone could use it because no focusing was involved, and it helped make a fun time. I developed myself in 1+4 DDX for 9 minutes as I normally would for HP5 at EI 400. The photos turned out very well. They were high contrast, surprisingly sharp, and captured the fun of the moment. ... MoreNobody expects a disposable camera to produce great images.

Despite not planning to do so, I will likely purchase more of these in the future. Warning: Ilford does not recommend/encourage opening these yourself to develop your own film. If you've never opened a disposable camera before, I'd recommend trying to find a tutorial video online first. You can give yourself a nasty shock from the flash circuitry if you're not careful.
Bought these to place in tables for a wedding reception, and folks got some good shots that the bride and groom were very happy to see.Most color disposables have 800 speed film that looks the gross kind of grainy, but HP5 is just perfect and timeless.A little tricky to find places to develop and those that do charge you for it. But for special occasions. It's great!
I'm new to film so I prefer to buy the disposables before i start purchasing B&W film for my Pentax K1000. This Ilford HP5 has never let me down and has constantly produced high quality images to a point where people think I actually took it with my Pentax (see attached images)! It's quite easy to use in various light settings. It's just like any other disposable: wind up before you shoot, if you want flash make sure to hold the flash button until it lights up and then it's ready, snap your picture and wind up to the next exposure! (see attached images for packaging and camera).
Unencumbered by the task of focusing and setting exposure, lightweight, and stealthy, you can completely concentrate on subject and composition creating a pure photographic experience. Its total Zen. Nothing beats this for black and white travel photography. Leave your digital stuff at home. I have shot every kind of camera imaginable and quite frankly this is the most enjoyable. Fits easily in the pocket. I like cropping to 8x10.
I like this little cam because it is a full frame camera that is extremely robust and can be taken anywhere, especially gear critical places like beaches and festivals or street photography in shady alleys. With this camera in hand, you will not be taken as a serious photographer which is usually preferred in such settings. The film Hp5+ is one of the best BW films available. You just choose between shooting with or without flash. The rest is simple: point, shoot and wind. No focussing or anything. The flash is generally pretty good and helps to shoot even in dark settings like concerts. Recommended max. distance for flash is about 3m / 10ft which I can confirm. The lens is pretty okay and does not show any extreme flaws. It can get noticeably unsharp/distorted in ... MoreI like this little cam because it is a full frame camera that is extremely robust and can be taken anywhere, especially gear critical places like beaches and festivals or street photography in shady alleys.

The lens is pretty okay and does not show any extreme flaws. It can get noticeably unsharp/distorted in the extreme edges but Id say you only notice it in maybe 1-2 pictures per roll. It is possible you get more image flaws from the average scanner than from this lens Near focus distance is alright: Though it is specified with minimum 1m and 2m for portraits, I made a selfie with it and think it is pretty okay (both arms stretched out to press shutter and flash button at the same time). It is not necessary to rewind the film because you are winding it into(!) the canister with every new frame. For safety reasons it is not recommended to open the housing to access the film because the flash capacitor is charged with a significant voltage of some 300 Volts and even if you would remove the battery. However, if you would have to access the film it would be quite easily possible with a screwdriver. The housing is designed to be selectively opened from the side and via a cap over the film canister. One would not come close to electric circles if done correctly. This design can not only protect staff in photo labs but also those who cannot leave their fingers from fiddling around with it. Still, the capacitor must be taken seriously under any circumstances. I shot 2 of those cameras on 1 weekend and are satisfied with the results. I would buy this again if I wanted to take a camera to one of those gear critical places.
Due to lockdowns and social distancing despite being 5 minutes from my sisters family I have seen them very little this past year. I was missing them and all the sleep-overs the kids use to get near enough every weekend at ours. So I decided to give this camera to my 11 year old Niece to document a day in my Sisters family. I explained how to use it and how to fire the flash. I then developed it myself.I wasn’t expecting much from it, but I was pleasantly surprised, very few dud shots and they came out sharp :)Nice and easy to use, easy to take apart and remove the roll of film (it spools into the canister as you advance so no need to rewind or remove in dark room).
