Fujifilm is celebrating the 40th birthday of the QuickSnap series of single-use 35mm film cameras. To mark the occasion, the company has announced two new additions: the QuickSnap Black and White and Active.
The QuickSnap Black and White is Fujifilm’s first one-time-use camera that uses monochrome film. That perhaps isn’t too surprising; while Fujifilm has produced black and white film under its Neopan brand since 1952, the line has been whittled down over the years to just a single stock, Neopan 100 Acros II.

The new disposable camera uses 400 speed film, but Fujifilm hasn’t specified an emulsion. Given that Fujifilm’s only black and white film in production right now is 100 speed, it isn’t that. But it isn’t clear if this is a proprietary emulsion made for the camera, or if it’s sourced from a third party like Ilford. Either way, Fujifilm says the film stock is “designed to capture rich contrasts, tones and textured grains.”
The black and white camera uses a 1/140 sec shutter speed and a plastic, 32mm lens with fixed focus and F10 aperture, as is typical on single-use film cameras. It features a built-in flash with a range of roughly 3 meters (10′), and a switch to turn the flash on and off. It offers 27 exposures and can be developed with C-41 chemistry.

The QuickSnap Active replaces the previous waterproof QuickSnap. It’s designed to withstand rain and underwater adventures up to 10 meters (33′), thanks to an integrated waterproof housing. It also uses a 32mm plastic lens with F10 aperture and fixed focus, though a slightly slower 1/125 sec shutter speed.
The Active uses an 800 speed color negative film. The previous waterproof camera likely used Superia X-TRA 800, but it isn’t clear yet if that continues in the new Active. Unlike the black and white offering, the Active does not feature a flash. It is capable of 27 exposures and can be developed with C-41 chemistry.
The Fujifilm QuickSnap Active and Black and White will be available for purchase in early September for $25 and $23, respectively.
