The Dakota Digital is an affordable disposable digital camera, fitted for a specialized business model. You get a twenty-five-shot 1.2 mega pixel digital camera that is planned to be processed where you bought it, at an extra cost of $11. The problem is that the quality is considerably less than regular film-based disposable cameras and at a dollar per picture, also considerably more high-priced. The other problem is that this device is neither inferior to produce, nor simple to recycle. It has zillion parts, containing twenty-four screws of about five different kinds, and flash memory that seem needlessly outsized.

Different with disposable digital cameras that are built on an inside frame and come encased in a replaceable cover, this camera is created on its external plastic case - a case that, when comes to be broken, needs an unreasonable amount of workmen to restore. Pure Digital is the primary producer for Ritz Camera, and also has been providing cameras for a much more limited experiment in various Wisconsin-area Walgreens stores. The Walgreens camera is based on a different chipset, and while it has not been connected to a computer yet, it has been modified by code man to accept smart media cards.

To connect this camera to standard private computer photo software so that a user may reinstate their personal images from the camera. This allows the full benefits most digital cameras provide, which are an instant processing, the ability to view pictures and only print the good ones, and the accessibility of not having to go to a photo shop to get prints. To completely evaluate how the pictures are kept in memory to see if there is any important privacy interests users should be aware of.  I hope that the memory is totally deleted between users so that the beneficiary of a recycled camera cannot recover the previous users' pictures.

To write a program flash extractor so that other people can deconstruct the code contained in their cameras.  By documenting the SPCA504B's registers more entirely, others can register fresh original software to make the camera more practical. For example, by decreasing the quality of images captured, more to be stored in memory. Other feasible enhancements contain time-lapse photography, or a modem interface for distant picture taking.

Since the lens is quite cheap and appears to be the camera's main weakness, I personally like to attach a Nikon F-mount so that I can optimize it with professional-quality lenses. Downloading snapshot in real-time is necessary for alignment and arranging focus, or there might be some sort of standard manufactory evaluation that might help out.
