The Kodak FunSaver is a single-use 35mm disposable camera in the same vein as the Fujifilm QuickSnap Flash. Recyclable plastic-and-cardboard body, fixed-focus 35mm meniscus plastic lens, single shutter speed, built-in flash powered by a single AAA battery, and 27 exposures of pre-loaded **Kodak Gold ISO 800** film. The flash is user-activated (slide a switch, wait for ready light, fire). Body is sealed; you return the camera to a lab, they extract the film, and the camera shell is recycled.

The Kodak Disposable 800 (Power Flash) is a single-use camera pre-loaded with ISO 800 high-speed color negative C-41 film, designed for low-light and flash photography. It provides 27 exposures with a built-in flash and is currently in production.
The Fujifilm QuickSnap (Simple Ace 400 in Japan) is Fujifilm's flagship ISO 400 single-use disposable camera, loaded with a Fujifilm 400-speed C-41 color negative emulsion. It remains in current production and is one of the best-selling disposable cameras worldwide.
Kodak's first disposable camera was the Fling (1987), responding to Fuji's QuickSnap (1986). The line evolved: Fling → Fun Saver → FunSaver Power Flash → today's FunSaver. Production has continued through Kodak's various corporate restructurings (Eastman Kodak's 2012 bankruptcy, the spinoff of Kodak Alaris). The FunSaver remains in production in 2026, sold in two-packs at supermarkets, drugstores, and tourist locations.
Why It Matters
The FunSaver is the canonical "American disposable camera" — the QuickSnap Flash dominates the global market, but in the US, FunSavers are equally common. The Kodak Gold 800 inside delivers warmer, more saturated color than Fuji's Superia 400 in the QuickSnap; aficionados argue about which is "the better disposable look" the way they argue about Coke vs Pepsi.
For 2026 buyers, the FunSaver remains a $14 camera in any drugstore. It's the cheapest film-and-camera-and-development bundle available — buy it, shoot 27 frames, return for processing. The dispsoable revival of the late 2010s and 2020s drove FunSaver sales back up after years of decline.
Lenses & Accessories
