CVS DISPOSABLE VIDEO CAMERAS

PROVIDENCE, R.I. Jun 9, 2005 — For years, disposable cameras have been a magnet for last-minute photographic whimsy, encouraging all manner of embarrassing pictures from weddings and other social events. Watch out: There's now a disposable video camera.

 

The $29.99 pocket-sized digital video cameras are able to capture up to 20 minutes of video and sound.

 

CVS Corp. stores, which has exclusive rights to sell them, will process the camera for $12.99 and return a DVD; users also can e-mail video and video greeting cards.

 

 

Pure Digital Technologies Inc. developed and designed the camera with just three buttons. One starts and stops recording, another is used to play back video and the third deletes recorded segments.

 

Grant Pill, director of photography and imaging at CVS, said the camera is ideal for people who don't want to spend hundreds of dollars or fuss with too many controls.

 

Available now in the Northeast and elsewhere by the end of the month, the video camera looks similar to a point-and-shoot disposable camera, except it's held vertically to film.

 

The camcorder weighs 5.5 ounces, Pill said, and is about the size of an MP3 player.

 

Users watch what they're filming through a rectangular, 1.4-inch wide color display. There are no zoom features. After filming a segment, the user can review what's been recorded and choose to delete the segment at any time during playback.

 

Pill called the film good VHS quality, but acknowledged it isn't on par with that produced by some personal camcorders.

 

"George Lucas isn't going to use this to shoot Star Wars IV," he said, "but a budding George Lucas may use this to shoot something in his backyard."

 

 

 

 

 

there are hacks on the way...i'll even post a coupon for this bitch

I've been to several weddings were the regular dispolable cameras are

placed on the table and people are encouraged to take pictures.

It generally turns into brides maids and random wedding chicks gone

wild. Drinking too much, showing there titties, getting way to loose with it.

 

I bet with these camcorders it'll be mad easy to get there dresses up.

 

"no, baby we'll only film my D penitrating your V and they'll have to guess who it was."

"no? aiight how about another lemondrop?"

$20 or $30 bones isn't shit, man. especially since these will be hacked very shortly

 

I sure hope so.. I'd love to have one to mount to my motorcycle. Actually, I can think of a lot of projects this would come in handy for.
