i love disposable cameras and film cameras but i find them hard to use. so i opted for a paper shoot camera ❤️
1. i can get that film effect without having to develop film
2. it’s more environmentally friendly, since you’re not disposing cameras and films. there’s an sd card so i just need to plug it in my laptop
3. lessens my phone addiction lol
4. cute, customisable cases and very handy to bring everywhere because it’s so small and compact
5. shoots video and timelapse

i've always wanted to tote around a camera with me with the intention of taking more pictures. for awhile that was my grandma's vintage kodak cameo, but then developing film became so much more expensive and i stopped.
i didn't necessarily want a 2000s digital camera because having screens to look at in a camera makes me feel unecessarily judgy of myself? 😭
i found out about this by accident through an ad on reddit and i was really taken in by it having the uncomplicated energy of a film camera but the convenience/cost saving of digital cameras.
i've had this for about 3 months and i love it. i actually remember to snap quick photos but i'm not staring at the screen contemplating whether or not my teeth look weird. it's sturdy too! my clumsy self has dropped it in my rocky backyard.

I just love my little half frame camera, I think this thing really punches above its weight when you look at input (buying the camera, paying for film, using the camera) vs output (the fun photos that come out).
I would say it’s one step up from a disposable in terms of its complexity and quality, and being half frame you can get up to 72 photos from a single roll of 35 mm film which is great for me because I’m cheap af lol and I love the accidental photo pairings that come out of it because two frames will be printed onto one little slice of film (like the image below).
There’s no pressure to be a ~photographer~ because it’s a £30 piece of plastic you’re just having fun and snapping fun photos.

I got out my Sony Bloggie ™️ that I hadn’t touched in 11 years (!) and it’s perfect. I was thinking of wasting money on some new small non-disposable camera to participate in the awakened phenomenon of using a digital camera. I did have fun taking a trip down memory lane, there are pictures (+ versions) of myself I haven’t seen in forever. It was super cool.
ALSO the bloggie is just awesome! I got it as a gift to record youtube videos as a kid (lol). I carried it around like a phone and felt so mature, but it’s also sooo cool that’s it’s literally that small. The resolution is good, the USB is INSIDE the camera for charging/transferring data to a computer (no cables!), it doesn’t need SD cards at all, and you can just take it anywhere!. I’ve already taken selfies and blown my mind with how much fun i’m having.
If u must purchase a camera…maybe get a refurbished bloggie….? But use any of your old cameras pls. Beat the consumerism demon. Ur old camera is (probably) just as cool as mine
