Disposable Camcorder

Great idea by Pure Digital. If the people buying and using them don't take them back for recycling then the company can lose money. It's still a cheaper camera but I'm sure Disney World will sell them for 3 times what they are worth. The article below is from Shiny Shiny. Basically sums up what they are and throws a little Paris Hilton tribute which we all love.

"First came the disposable nappy. Then came the disposable camera, and within three weeks it became impossible to attend a wedding without finding a throwaway Kodak snapper next to your vol au vent. Now America, land of the trashcan and the landfill, brings us the disposable camcorder.

The Pure Digital Video Camcorder has a 1.4 in LCD, weighs 5 oz and can take 20 minutes of digital film, which is surely more than enough for Paris Hilton. All that Paris (for the sake of example) needs to do is wander into her local CVS, pick up the camera for $30, shoot her masterpiece, put her knickers back on, head back to CVS and hand over the camera for developing. The photo lab technicians will then burn the video to a DVD in a few minutes. And fret not, world-lovers: CVS recycles these cameras. What's not to love?" [via Shiny Shiny]
