== Digital == Digital one-time-use cameras (and also digital one-time-use camcorders) are available in some markets; for example the US saw the introduction of one such digital camera in 2004.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2004-08-18-puredigital_x.htm|title=A disposable digital camera enters the market at $19.99|access-date=2007-08-28 | work=USA Today | first1=Jefferson | last1=Graham | date=2004-08-19}}</ref> Digital disposables have not had the success of their film based counterparts, possibly from the expense of the process (especially compared to normal [[digital camera]] use) and the poor quality of the images compared to either a typical digital camera, or a disposable film camera. Usually, the display shows the number of shots remaining, and once this is completed, the camera is returned to the store. The digital files are then extracted from the camera, and in return for keeping the camera, they are printed out or stored to CD (or DVD in the case of the video camera <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/CVS-One-Time-Use-Video-Camcorder.htm |title=CVS One-Time-Use Video Camcorder Review β CVS Camcorders |publisher=Camcorderinfo.com |date=2005-06-27 |access-date=2009-10-09}}</ref>) for the customer. Almost all digital 'single use' cameras have been successfully [[Hacker (hobbyist)|hacked]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.maushammer.com/systems/cvscamcorder/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20110714050954/http://www.maushammer.com/systems/cvscamcorder/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-07-14 |title=Pure Digital / CVS Disposable Digital Camcorder |publisher=Maushammer.com |date=2005-06-13 |access-date=2009-10-09 }}</ref> to eliminate the need to return them to the store. The motivations for such hacking include saving money and, more commonly, the challenge of overcoming artificial impositions (such as a 25 shot limit on an internal memory that can store 100 images).
