No need to go out of the way to spend money on cheap plastic cameras with bad quality control and light leaks out of the box.. There are literally millions of old cameras out there.. Used camera prices are still quite low.. For the price of any of those toy thingees one can get much more interesting cameras and a pile of film.. Look to the boom post-war years.. Have something for plastic? There are loads of interesting bakelit cameras to be found.. for 5-10 Quid.. They were, however, designed to try to take good pictures. The bokeh and image quality of some of these are quite interesting.. also look at some of the portrait objectives from the 1920s .. and some of the 35mm cameras from the 1930s and 40s..
