During at least the past 5 years I have used different brands and different
types of these cameras with unexpectedly good results. I was especially
pleased with the panoramic and underwater cameras. The brand didn't seem
to make much difference. My theory is that any record of the event is
better than none at all, so I try to take a single-use camera when the
conditions would be harmful to my regular equipment or when weight is a
factor, as in backpacking.
