Ikea Camera

LOOKS CHILDISH, FEELS HOMEMADE, apparently WORKS!

Check out this strange looking digital camera made by IKEA out of cardboard. It was included as part of a press kit at an event in Europe recently, and apparently the “disposable” camera might go on sale sometime soon in IKEA stores. It uses two AA batteries and stores up to 40 photographs in the built-in memory. Images can be downloaded to your computer using the USB connection that swings out from one of the corners of the camera.

    ecological and disposable, even if cardboard made, are not suitable. What’s happening is that we get only echo as logical logical logical fades away….

    It would be eco-friendly if they didn’t make this. It’s going to get torn up in a week and go in the trash. (though I guess it’s supposed to be disposable which is also rediculous for an “eco-friendly” product) It might be a fun little toy, but it would be the most environmentally friendly if they didn’t waste the resources and carbon on it in the first place. Just use the crappiest point and shoot you can find instead.

    A lot of talk regarding it not being eco-friendly because it’s disposable. People currently treat a myriad of electronic and plastic products as disposable, including their point-and-shoot cameras and mobile phones. I’d rather people threw this camera out rather than the other crap they’re going to buy and toss.
