Reusable Dakota Camera Can Be a Hacker's Bargain

“Do you think basic digital camera features should be more affordable? So do I. Start with a trip to your local Ritz Camera or discount store and pick up a $20 reusable Dakota digital camera. You're supposed to buy a Dakota, use it, and then return it to the store to get your images printed. But with a few hacks, you can get the pictures out yourself.

John Maushammer has the Dakota well documented at his Web site http://www.maushammer.com/systems/dakotadigital/DakotaDigital.html, with details on how to hack a USB connection onto the camera http://www.maushammer.com/systems/dakotadigital/usb-cable.html. Once you can get pictures off the Dakota, click here http://www.balerdi.com.ar/dakota/ for instructions on removing the camera's built-in software limit of 25 pictures.”
