Ritz Disposable Digital Camera Hacked

Posted by simoniker on from the click-click-boom dept.

morgue-ann writes "The $10.99 Dakota reusable digital camera announced in July was usefully hacked on November 6. First attempts to extract picture data took 10 hours to read out 16MB, but new code for Linux and Mac and Windows lets you get pictures quickly over USB and view or print them without Ritz's help (and with fewer of your $$)."

    you can get a logitech pocket digital for like 37 dollars; basically same specs, but looks a whole lot nicer and does exactly the same thing

    Really? What if I want to set up 50 of these things and synchronize their shutters to take Matrix-style motion effects shots? Suddenly the price difference is $1,300.
