This year is the 40th anniversary of the Fujifilm QuickSnap, called the Utsurun-Desu in Japan (which translates as “It takes pictures”). The QuickSnap was introduced in 1986 as a “disposable” camera – though the term was quickly changed to “single-use” for a better public image.
The QuickSnap is credited with being the first camera in what became a huge success story. It was an amazing success, but was it really the first single-use camera? Not quite.
