good information to know but it seems extremely primitive to use a P&S let along a disposable in a sea of crazy camera fanatics (on this forum)

Cool!

That's a lot of work to hack what's probably a POS camera, though.

Well my camera is equipped with a 1000 megasquirtle light sensitive array with a megakilo double widget interface and a pseudo-terrafilter. its got 2 million hexafurtles with a 10 kiloplex and a rechargeable virtual combo-backplate. i also fitted an optical fillyfangle with predictive threshold histogram monitoring. it also has a light sensitive light meter and a time sensitive shutter mechanism.

That would be excellent to give some younger children on a day trip to the zoo, etc. Minimal cash lost if they lose or destroy it.

How many megapixels are those "one time use" digital cameras? Are they better than the phone cameras everyone has? As Ken says, sounds good for a kid.

The one displayed doesn't even give a quality 3x5 print. Very low resolution. Horrible images, very bad shutter lag. Literally point and shoot. Nothing else to do. We process these things where I work and then have to field the complaints from the people about the quality.

Well, what do you expect when its a $20 camera?

Besides, there are $30 - $50 kids cameras that are three or four megapixel with removable media that produce better shots that that thing.

megapickles.

I bought a $20 digital for my then, 6 year...it was just fine for him....it drove me crazy, but he was happy as a pig in mud to have his own camera.
