More Cheap Camera Hacks

CVS Camera

Looks like I’ll be checking out the local CVS stores this weekend.

Hack the “disposable” digital camera that CVS sells for $20. Includes all wiring diagrams, steps, and software needed to be able to take the images off the camera to your computer.

They make good cameras for kids or to keep in the car in case you see somthing weird on the road.
