are the colors good, is it good quality, is it worth the 16 bucks? do underwater pictures turn out well or are they blurry? please give me as much info as possible. thanks!

Answer 1

All it really is a camera with 800 ISO speed film.

It should be fine for underwater shooting, and I would purchase it myself, if it were for a 1 time use.

I wouldn't want to spend over $1k for a custom made pressure box for my Nikon D300 and the possibility of seal failure and damaging an expensive camera and lens....

I would buy this because I own a pro-sumer film scanner and I would request that the film be only developed with no prints. I can scanner the film myself at a higher resolution and better color than any 1-hour photo chop-shop......

Colors are going to be fine if your in daylight shooting.

Kodak chose a high speed film, like 800, to make sure that all the shots came out well. I'm pretty sure Kodak tested this fully.

It will give you regular film color if you get it done at regular lab, you will get regular looking pictures, nothing magical.

If you get the film scanned professionally, using kodak's own digital ice, gem and roc technologies, then you will get images that literally rival that of any digital camera....especially at 21 mpx.

I'm talking about a nikon super coolscan 5000.
