Walgreens PureDigital Camera Hacked

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the photos-on-the-cheap dept.

Powercntrl writes "While the Ritz version of the PureDigital single-use camera was recently hacked, the Walgreens version wasn't - until now. Codeman, the same guy who brought us the I-Opener hack, found a way to add a standard Smartmedia interface to the Walgreens camera and extract images with a standard Smartmedia reader. Links to sample images showing the camera's quality are included."

    Except that I have seen cameras of that quality for that price at target. No soldering required.

    They even came with some chicken shit software.

    For $10, it would be nice if this could be used as a general purpose USB interface for other projects. (I'd RTFA, but it's pining for the fjords.)
