You can get 'em all sorts of ways 35mm or APS format, color at least 400 to 800 speed, with flash or without, waterproof or panoramic or plain, and B&W, too. Prices seem to range from $2-3 up to $13 U.S. My son was carrying around a $3 Fuji 27 exposure 400 speed with flash Sat, Sun, and Monday (his kinder class had an animal handler bring some critters in and he got to take some shots of the animals). Great idea, really. The only thing that bothers me is the thought of all the plastic left over at the end. I hope it gets recycled at some point ...
