TIME reviews CVS’s new “disposable” digital cameras, the $20 system where you basically rent a camera, take up to 25 pictures (deleting out the bad ones), and return it to CVS, who provides you with prints plus a CD for permanent storage. They were pretty pleased with the overall quality, and I can’t find any issue with their main complaint – that 25 pictures isn’t quite enough for $20, and that maybe twice that would be better. It would cost just a few more dollars to double the camera’s capacity, and doubling the number of prints should be negligible.
I’m proud of CVS. Between this and the cameraphone print-outs, they’re really doing their best to move a dying film industry into the future.
Plus they are named “CVS” and have a slash in their logo. I’ve always suspected there was some serious geekery happening behind the scenes there.
