Way back when . . . our group, probably 30-35 was running an challenge course; 5 miles and 10 obstacles. I was running with a girl from Brazil, she asked me if I could take her camera and get some shots of her on the course and a few of others too. She gave me a Kodak, paper box camera; the throw-away kind. I agreed and would take a shot or two and put the paper box camera in my running shorts towards the next obstacle. By the time we finished the camera was so wet from my sweat the camera actually flattened from the pressure of my running shorts. When I gave the soaked camera to her, she quickly wrapped it in a hand towel she used, it was wet too. She took the camera to a drugstore asked if she could get the pictures developed. A few days later she brought me several photos from the camera. Not bad! and she had the negatives too! I never thought it would make it and the camera indeed would have to be a throw-away! My experience with a "cardboard" box camera. Remember them?

Kodak and Fuji made one time use cameras. Sealed container. They inserted 35mm film inside, plus it had a built in flash. It was also made of sturdy plastic and had a fixed lens. For development, you took it to your local photo shop. You could get 27 exposures. Throw away cameras they were. I would guess that hard plastic is sweat proof, except the lens and viewfinder. They may fog up some.
When my niece got married, everyone at the wedding got a cardboard camera to use. The pro photographer had a heart attack.
10K? to produce something you can make for less than $.50? Geeze.
They should give me the money, I'M sure I can put it to better use.
