Back in 1987, Fujifilm announced a revolutionary new kind of camera, which was actually described as a ‘Film With Lens’. It was called the Fujicolor Quicksnap. In fact, as well as a lens it also had a shutter and a thumbwheel to advance its 35mm film. There was no method of rewinding at the end of the roll because, when the last picture had been taken, the whole camera was dropped off at the nearest processing shop, where it was broken open, the film extracted for developing and printing as normal and everything else was thrown away. It was suggested that the Quicksnap was the world’s first disposable camera. It wasn’t.
