I am going to Maui what is the best disposable under water camera? by videomike01 http://aahphoto.com/2010/12/06/photography-question-i-am-going-to-maui-what-is-the-best-disposable-under-water-camera/#comment-770 videomike01 Sat, 11 Dec 2010 18:25:12 +0000 http://aahphoto.com/2010/12/06/photography-question-i-am-going-to-maui-what-is-the-best-disposable-under-water-camera/#comment-770 My experience is that the Fuji Brand of underwater cameras seem to make the best images under the water than the Kodak cameras. I am guessing that it's the Fuji Film being able to deal with colors a bit better than the Kodak 'Max' film with which I have never had good results . If you should crack the case (as I did with a Kodak camera) and water enters make sure you tell the photo finisher so they will know how to extract the film without ruining it. You may have to wait a week or so for the film to dry before processing if that should happen. Also I highly recommend having the film digitized so that you can color correct the images in a program like Photoshop. Even just using the automatic correction in the Levels screen will make a substantial difference toward improving the colors in your images. And remember to have the camera hand checked at the airport if you are flying to Maui as the speed of the filmcan be affected by the airport x-ray machines. Ignore the sigs saying how it is okay to pass it through. And never pack film or a one-time use camera in a suitcase! You might as well throw it away before using it if you do. TSA is good about this and will hand inspect for you. Also consider having the film developed in Hawaii so that you can safely pack the developed negatives in your luggage on your return trip. Tip: many photo labs will do reprints for a lower cost if the negatives are uncut and left as a strip. When you have your film developed tell them not to cut the negatives so you can make prints all the easier when you get home. Plus just developing is a lot less $$$ than developing and printing.

But, seeing as how their products are a couple hundred dollars - I wouldn't reccomend them. =&shs=underwater+camera&ci=944&sb=bs%2Cupper%28ds%29&sq=asc Is a complete line of film based underwater cameras that range from 9.95 to 99.95.

Degree of the quality of the photos and equipment. 2. Degree of your previous experience at this. 3. Will you be using studio lighting, backdrops or props? 4. Why not get ALL of the parents together and chartge them about $25-30 each. Be sure to give each parent a group shot and about 2 or 3 8x10 sized close-ups of their child. Even if only 5 or 6 parents pay for it, it would be worth the time to set it up and gain valuable experience. Good Luck I would say that this will depend on several factors:
