I went to this website and read the info on reloading a kodak disposable
camera.  I have a "kodak funsaver pocket camera" (This is the one with a
flash).  I may be mistaken, but the sly kodak people DO NOT use the same
type of film in this disposable as you can buy at any store.  In the
disposable, the film cassette has "teeth" which align with the advance
knob to advance the film.  Standard film DOES NOT have these "teeth".
How would you advance the film after loading this type of camera???

Next, K-mart sells a camera called a "Vivitar EZ Point n' Shoot Big
View" 35mm camera.  It sells for about $12.00  Why would anyone want to
go to all the trouble of reloading a standard disposable camera when
when could spend a couple of dollars more and get the "Vivitar" which IS
reloadable?? Just a thought....

btw- on the vivitar, the shutter release is extremely easy to press, and
I've used two of these cameras to produce 3D pictures. (I used
double-sided tape to stick them together)  It's fairly easy to press
both shutter releases at the same time.  I've taken pictures of roller
coasters and other rides with very good results.
