Digital And Disposable

By Laura A. Locke

If you've been wanting to try your hand at digital photography but don't want to buy pricey equipment, this camera may be for you. It's the world's first 100% digital disposable camera, and it goes on sale at Ritz Camera Centers this week. For $10.99 you get an automatic flash, metered exposure control, a self-timer and--because it's digital--the option to instantly delete any pictures that don't pan out. The camera comes out of Pure Digital Technologies in San Francisco. Ritz does digital photofinishing in an hour, or you can use your printer. Walt Disney World Resorts will start selling the camera this fall.
