Cheap, cheap camera
NZPA-Reuter New York The United States photographic giant, Eastman Kodak, yesterday introduced a cheap camera called the “Fling” which the photographer throws away after taking one roll of film. The Japanese film manufacturer, Fuji, which has made an aggressive
push in the United States market in the last few years, is also expected to unveil a disposable camera. The Kodak camera will have a list price of $6.95 and shoots a 24-exposure 110 Kodacolor film. It has a 25mm lens, with a 1/120 shutter speed, which is in focus from one meter to infinity.
The Kodak camera, which cannot be reused, costs about $3 more than a roll of 110 film for use in a conventional camera.
“It’s an impulse-buying camera that people throw into their bags when they forget their own camera,” said a Dean Witter Reynolds analyst, Eugene Glazer. ’
