Are Disposable Digital Cameras Worth It?

If you have been in a CVs pharmacy you have probably seen the disposable digital cameras they sell. I always wonder what the point is of a disposable digital camera myself.

The Washington Post gathered up disposable digital cams from CVS, RiteAid and Ritz Camera and put them through their paces. They found that all three cameras were actually made by the same company.

Even with the same construction, both cameras from the pharmacies photo quality was deemed unacceptable in testing. Only the Ritz disposable was deemed decent enough. All three cameras allowed you to shoot pics, and then delete the ones you don’t want. The catch is they have to be taken back to the store to be developed; you can’t get the pictures into your own computer.
