Herewith, then, a side-by-side comparison of more Canon SLR than 95 percent of its buyers will ever need and Kodak's HQ Maximum Versatility Single Use Camera:

  • The Canon forces you to choose from hundreds of compatible lens, including those 2-foot monstrosities that have become the latest form of penile compensation. The Kodak has a built-in high-quality Ektanar lens.
  • The Canon boasts "usable" light sensitivity up to
    ISO 6400. The Kodak is pre-set for ISO 800, all a reasonable person should need.
  • The Canon has two image processors. The Kodak has none--it uses "film."
  • The Canon is big enough to merit a lumbar support belt. The Kodak fits in your pocket.
  • The Canon retails for $6,000, for which you'll be able to buy about 870 units of the Kodak camera.
