When hosts purchase disposable cameras and plan on getting lots of memorable tableside and dance floor pictures, they are making very reasonable choices.
Unfortunately, they are usually very disappointed with the results they get.
We've all seen it before. Next to the centerpieces at the reception is a disposable camera and printed instructions to take lots of pictures throughout the night and leave the camera there when you are finished. The problem is, this never works as planned. Here are the top seven reasons why disposable cameras aren't a good idea for your wedding or special event
Seven Reasons Disposable Cameras Disappoint Party Hosts
| Seven Reasons You'll be
Delighted with Canditto

- Guests don't take pictures with disposable cameras.
And why should they? Most brought their own cameras from home anyway that will take pictures they get to keep. If you were going out to the dance floor, which camera would you take with you?
- The pictures they do take are grainy and low quality.
This isn't a surprise when you consider that the optics in a single use camera cost less than $0.75. There's a reason why the digital camera you brought with you costs more than $6.00 -- it has quality optics, adjustable shutter speeds and lots of other innovations the disposable cameras lack.
- The cameras mysteriously disappear.
Somehow, more of these cameras find their way into guests' pockets and purses than back on the tables at the end of the night. Though every bride says her guests don't do that... ...it still happens.
- The photos you get back are not "family" photos.
That old take-the-camera-to-the-bathroom gag is still being played out. Do you really want those photos?
- The cameras are not environmentally friendly.
Single-use-anything is becoming less popular and having cheap plastic in the middle of your table is never a popular choice.
- The cameras' natural output: prints.
The rest of your life is saved electroncially. Do you really want to have a stack of mostly-useless glossy 4x5's to keep track of? The alternative, getting a CD made, costs a lot more.
- You won't see any pictures for at least three days.
For many brides and grooms, the time it takes to go to the nearest film processing store, get prints, and bring them back means they won't see any pictures until they come home from the honeymoon. It's a long time to wait for a disappointment.
| - Canditto uses guests' own, familiar, high quality cameras.
Most of your guests will bring digital cameras from home and many more will bring them if you ask them too. With a familiar camera at hand and lots of fun to be captured, your guests will want to take lots of pictures that you'll want to keep forever.
