Leica X1 Review May 14, 2010 at 7:06 am
An interesting and hugely expensive camera. http://diglloyd.com/ had a review on this camera and all I will say is that make sure you know what you are buying - the Leica X1 is not for everyone. They say you get what you pay for, but does what you get add up to what you really want?

Single Use Digital Camera May 8, 2010 at 2:50 pm
Sometimes having a disposable, single use digital camera can open up opportunities that a $2000 dSRL cannot. Maybe you live in an urban area and you need to take some pictures in a neighborhood that you' feel uncomfortable in with an expensive camera. Or maybe the weather is bad you but have a unique opportunity for photos.
One of my favorite photography trips included giving a near stranger my camera for the day to get some pictures of his every day life. This was in India and the results were absolutely amazing. Pictures that I would never have an opportunity to take myself.
A single use digital camera can be a great photography tool just as a backup camera can be. Give one a try someday and you might be surprised what happens.
There are a of cameras like this available. Generally you purchase them and part of the cost included getting the results transfered to a CD or printed.
If you are handy with a soldering iron and feeling adventurous, you can try a hardware hack and install a USB port so you can download the images yourself. Here is some more info on a project like this.
