Fujifilm has announced two new QuickSnap one-time-use cameras to mark 40 years of its well-known analog camera line.
Fujifilm North America introduced the QuickSnap Black and White and QuickSnap Active, two new versions of its portable one-time-use camera aimed at users who want simple 35mm film photography without settings or a screen.
The announcement is noteworthy because it comes at a time when analog photography and compact point-and-shoot experiences continue to attract interest despite the dominance of smartphones.
QuickSnap Black and White
The new Fujifilm QuickSnap Black and White uses integrated ISO 400 135 black-and-white negative film and offers 27 exposures.
The camera includes a built-in flash with an activation switch and a range of about 3 meters, making it more suitable for indoor moments, nights out or travel where the user wants the look of black-and-white film.
According to Fujifilm, the film is developed using C-41 chemistry, which makes processing easier at labs that support the process.
QuickSnap Active
The Fujifilm QuickSnap Active is the new waterproof and more rugged option in the lineup, replacing the existing waterproof QuickSnap.
The camera features a protective housing, a wrist strap and ISO 800 135 color negative film, also with 27 exposures. Unlike the black-and-white version, it does not include a flash.
Its main feature is waterproofing down to about 10.6 meters, making it suitable for the beach, pool, travel and activities where using a more expensive camera or smartphone would be less practical.
Pricing and availability
The two new Fujifilm QuickSnap cameras are expected to arrive in fall 2026.
The QuickSnap Black and White will have a suggested retail price of $22.90 in the United States and $34.99 in Canada, while the QuickSnap Active will cost $24.75 in the United States and $36.99 in Canada.
Film processing is not included in the price, which means users should also factor in the cost of developing and possibly scanning the negatives.
Why it matters today
Although one-time-use cameras are technologically simple, Fujifilm’s continued support for the QuickSnap line shows that there is still demand for photographic experiences built around limitation, waiting and the absence of instant preview.
The new black-and-white version offers a more artistic direction, while the Active targets users who want something affordable, durable and simple for conditions where using more expensive gear is not practical.
What we think
Fujifilm is not trying to present something technologically advanced, but to remind users why simple analog cameras still have a place in photography. The new QuickSnap models seem more like experience-focused tools than image-quality tools, and that is exactly their strength.
