I’ve wondered for a long time why they didn’t still sell the older digital cams (1 megapixel – 2.5 megapixel) as an everyday product. They aren’t even produced anymore that I can find. The idea of a disposable is great, in that they FINALLY get you a cheap digital cam (using ‘old’ technology) for use in places that you don’t want to take a ‘good’ cam. But in this society that we live in, getting something cheap means paying for it over and over again, for example, continuing to buy disposable digital cams and returning them to the stores to pay them to get your pictures. This will only work so long as no one realizes that after they’ve bought 5 and paid for the prints/CD’s, they could have bought a low end digital camera. Then there’s the idea of replacement costs. Drop and kill your $300 Pentax, it’s $300 to replace it, unless it’s insured (more money to insure it). Drop and kill a disposable, you’ve lost $20 or so, and if it’s hacked, you can rebuild another one from the spare parts. The continuous cycle makes sense with disposable FILM cameras, chemicals and machines and such involved, things that not everyone can do at home. Digital cams were developed (in my opinion) to do away with all this. I want one hacked to use on backpacking/canoe/biking trips for these very reasons.

Hacking something like this isn’t often about saving time or money. It’s best described as a hobby for the extreme geeks.

Most of the odd hacks I do are either to learn more about how things works, or just to see if I can do it. For me, completing a hack is much the same type of satisfaction as completing a challenging puzzle.

The camera looked interesting, but after investigating, it is my opinion this camera is not a value for use nor if hacked. If you value your time buy a digital refurbed or on Ebay.
