Walgreens digital camera

Hi Instructables,

I just wanted to share a quick and easy attachment for Walgreens (loyalty) digital camera.  Its a 5.1 megapixel camera that does not have a cable to transfer pictures to your computer.  The camera has a built in memory to store 50 pictures but needs to be returned to Walgreens for printing.  I purchased one on clearance for (MSRP $30)  $15 to play around but needed a cable to transfer to my computer so I purchased a USB extension cable from the dollar store.  

You will need:
Walgreens 5.1 digital camera (loyalty)
USB extension cable.
Needle nose pliers.
Mod time 2 minutes.  

Step 1 Remove outer metal piece.

I purchased a USB cable extension from the dollar store.  Remove outer metal piece from the female USB by pulling it with a needle nose pliers.  Do not pull the inner plastic piece.  This is basically it.  It's ready for loading pictures.

I can't believe how stupid they are using a usb connection, great little instructable by the way.

They are really targeting the average person, not people like us that aren't afraid to get are hands dirty. We are not as common as you might think. They probably get their full cost out of the $30 original price. Printing is not included either.

How many pictures can you take before you need new batteries?

Batteries are 3 AAA. Pictures turn out OK if still. THANKS!

Neat! I wonder if you can easily change batteries too.

Very clever! Are the lens enough good quality?
