The Kodak Max HQ one-time-use camera gives the user bright and colorful pictures across a wide range of lighting conditions. This point-and-shoot camera comes equipped with a 30mm aspheric lens, just like the one used in Kodak's KB 35mm cameras, to deliver sharp pictures from a variety of picture-taking conditions. The Max HQ's design and overall picture quality make it among the best of the single-use cameras.

4 out of 5 stars fine single use camera by Kodak   August 27, 2007
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Kodak makes a great disposable camera with their Kodak Max HQ 35mm single use camera. The camera takes some pretty good photos considering it's a single use camera. Indeed, many of the pictures I've taken using this camera come out almost as well as they would have if I had used a more expensive, conventional 35mm camera instead.

Don't open the box and unwrap the camera from its foil paper wrapping until you're ready to use it; and make sure you use this camera before the expiration date printed on the cardboard box. When you do want to use the camera it's simple enough to use. Wind it up for the first photo you take by running your thumb on the dial on the top of the camera from left to right. Want a flash for your picture? No problem. Just push the flash button on the front of the camera and within seconds the camera can take a flash picture. There's also an indicator on the top of the camera to tell you how many pictures you have left on the roll of film inside it.

The 800 film helps make this camera very useful for both outdoor and indoor photos; and it's easy to carry this camera because it's so light and compact. It can fit into a woman's pocketbook, a man's briefcase, backpack or just about any overnight travel bag.

You also get 27 exposures per camera; this makes the camera great for vacations or extensive photo taking days like weddings and other ceremonies. Great!

Unfortunately, there is one fly in the ointment. Although this camera is really very good; the pictures it takes are not quite as clear and crisp as they would be from a digital camera or a conventional 35mm camera with the individual rolls of film you put in and then take out when you're ready to have the film developed. I hope that Kodak remedies this problem quickly; but until then I have to take off a star for this to make this a four star review.

Overall, this single use camera is convenient and budget priced. After all, digital cameras and regular 35mm cameras can get somewhat expensive; this is your best choice if you're on a budget and want a Kodak quality camera. It doesn't yet have the technology to take the very best quality pictures so I hope Kodak works on this in the near future.

Four stars!



5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Quality. The closest you can get to going pro for under $20.   August 29, 2006

I work at a professional photofinishing lab, and I can attest to the quality of the film inside this camera. The Kodak HQ Max Versatility camera is the highest-quality single-use camera available on the market. It produces a high-quality image in most situations.

This camera comes loaded with Kodak Max Versatility 800-speed film. For best results, always use the built-in flash when shooting indoors or at night.

This camera produces excellent-quality images. If you are thinking of enlarging your photos to 8"x10" (or larger!), or if you are using the image for any kind of commercial or artistic application, you should strongly consider the Kodak HQ Max Versatility OTUC.



2 out of 5 stars Overated and Overpriced   January 3, 2004

Unfortunately Kodak seem to spend a small fortune making their Disposable Camera's look Sleek and Trendy. However the Photos always turn out very Average despite being loaded with so called High Quality Kodak Max 400 Film.
IMO Kodak Max 400 Film is one of the worst films on the Market.
I used the Kodak Max HQ a couple of times and was disapointed with the Photos. Grainy, Washed out Colors.
I've yet to try the New High Definition Film, hopefully this Film is slightly better.



1 out of 5 stars Don't buy this piece of junk!   November 28, 2003
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

We bought two of these for our first trip to NYC. The pictures were grainy, washed out and just plain awful. We bought the more expensive cameras thinking the pictures would be even better than the cheaper one time cameras. We were so wrong. I contacted Kodak's customer service and they said it was either the photographer or the developer. Then they generously mailed me a $2 off coupon to buy another. As if I will buy another one of their cameras!! I will never use another Kodak product after the treatment I received from their customer service.


2 out of 5 stars I agree with below poster NOT VERY GOOD!!   May 31, 2003
It's a pity Kodak in Australia aren't as Customer Service Focused as they are with the below poster. I bought a Max HQ Camera and the Flash didn't work, I called Customer Service to complain and they were of no help and wanted me to send the Camera back with a Letter. No replacement, nothing, just attitude!
I've used these Kodak Max HQ Cameras two other times in 2002, The results have been Poor, Washed out Colours, as the Person mentioned below...Poor reproduction of Skin Tones. Hey I'm White, but I'm not THAT White!! Unless Kodak bring out a better One Time Use Camera soon I'm going to start buying another Brand, maybe Agfa or Fuji.
