"Disposable" water-proof cameras still use film. I agree their lens is probably too small to be useful for fire-starting.

Another example is after getting bitten by a snake or other animal, having a photo of it to help identify what antidote you need. (Killing the snake is even better, but not always convenient.) This could be useful even if there's no signal where you are, provided you get rescued quickly enough.
