New Disposable Digital Cameras with LCDs

Posted by michael on from the cuecat dept.

del_ctrl_alt writes "Pure Digital Technologies are set to introduce the world's first ever disposable digital camera [ed. note: see below], retailing in the USA for $19.99. Ritz, CVS, Disney World and Longs Drugs are all going to stock the 2-megapixel camera, which somewhat amazingly has a color preview screen and allows you to delete images before you take it to the store for processing (where you will receive a free picture CD along with your prints)." It's not the first disposable digital camera, which was hacked shortly afterwards, but these include a LCD display (they're made by the same company which made the first ones). Have fun!

    Please, it's just LCD. Liquid Crystal Display Display is redundant. It's like when gas stations advertise an ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) Machine inside. One day people will decide to abbreviate it as ATMM, and the cycle will continue until ATM's are refered to as ATMMMMMMMMMMMMMM . . .

    So, please stop the redundancy.
