Go for itAs long as the cameras (film therein) haven't been subjected to extreme heat they will be fineThe 'use by' date on film is normally well in advance of when it is expected to begin any slow deterioration - under normal conditionsMost of those cameras are sealed in an aluminium foil, air-tight bagIf this is the case, as soon as you get them PUT THEM IN THE FRIDGEThis will slow down considerably the deterioration and extend the life of the film indefinatelyRemember though - and this is important - after you remove the camera in its bag from the fridge and before you open the bag to use the camera - allow it to come up to the ambient temperature, and then half an hour moreBecause the film emulsion is a chemical, refrigeration will preserve it (a bit like milk I suppose.) If you were to open the bag as soon as you took it out of the fridge, condensation would immediately form inside the camera and ruin thingsI have film in my fridge that I bought 15 years ago when it was only weeks away from being out of dateIt's still goodIt lives on the bottom shelf of the doorGood luck
