Disposable Camcorder



The camcorder weighs less than 150 grams and holds 20 minutes of digital video and sound. It features a 3.6 centimetre colour playback screen and an ability to delete video, and it saves video on a memory chip instead of tapes.

After shooting, customers have to return the recyclable camcorder to their local CVS store and its contents would then be transferred onto a DVD disc to view and share for a $12.99 processing fee.

I'm torn. More landfill crap (but parts of it are recyclable) however..wow - It makes me happy to be alive.

Hopefully soon enough tech peeps will find a way to mod/hack this to be reusable at the consumer level w/o the $13 USD price tag.
