But it is certainly going directly back to the original Kodak
commercialization of photography - take the photos and send in the
camera...;-)

And what some people never seem to get is that their most important
photographic tool lies between their ears - not in a box with a red dot
on it....

<<i don't get it - how can digital cameras be disposable?

surely they would make a way for the lab to clear the images and then
resell

these things for USD $11 to the next unsuspecting tourist :)


if this takes off, the future of film doesn't look too bright :(>>

That's just the point. You merely RENT the camera from the dealer,
return it, 
and receive your pics. The camera memories are erased and the camera is 
rented again. Even some parts of throwaway film cameras are recycled.
What you are 
buying is the prints. The nature of the camera is irrelevant. How
totally 
unLeica like!
