The American Ritz Camera chain today will introduce a one-time-use digital camera for $11 in about 100 of its stores. Walt Disney World will begin selling the camera at its hotels and theme parks in the fall. The 2-megapixel Dakota Digital, which offers the image quality of a $200-$250 digital camera, doesn't have an LCD screen to view images, and doesn't connect to a computer.
But users can delete their last shot if they think they missed it, and they can get prints back within 15 minutes after taking the camera in for processing, because no film has to be developed. A CD of digital images is included, so users can manipulate the files on their computer and share them via e-mail and Web sites.
"For people who have thought about digital, this gives them the ability to get in for a low cost," says David Ritz, CEO of Ritz Camera Centers. "There are a lot of people who have hemmed or hawed about trying digital. But for $11, they'll give it a shot." A model with an LCD screen will be out by the end of the year.
