Think in terms of good interface design. Currently, the interface for disposable cameras, apparently a profitable product, works like this:
* Buy camera for ~ $15.
* Use to take pictures
* Return somewhere and get pictures in a usable form.
The camera's a black box. So now maybe a company's substituting digital tech instead of optical, but maintaining the same interface. Could make sense. And maybe there'll be an added value to offset small price increase (preview, etc.)
So it doesn't matter "why people would or not use these"... That point is moot.
