Ritz Dakota Digital
The Ritz Dakota Digital was a type of point-and-shoot digital camera, introduced in July 2003, and sold by the Ritz Camera Centers. It had a digital photo resolution of 1.2 megapixels (1280 pixels wide, 960 pixels high) and a storage capacity of 25 pictures. When introduced, the Dakota Digital sparked massive interest, primarily due to its price tag: US$10.99. At the time, a digital camera of similar resolution and functionality was in the $40–$70 range. The reason for the low price was that the Dakota Digital was a ''single-use camera'', i.e. the consumer takes the pictures, returns the camera to the store, and the pictures are returned to the consumer in print and CD-ROM format (after an additional $11 processing fee) while the camera is refurbished and resold. The Dakota Digital wasn't the very first digital camera introduced as a single-use concept camera - Pentax and Sanyo did it in Japan two years before. However, it was the first single-use digital camera to be mass-markete ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
