Undated images showing the front and back of the world's first disposable digital camera. U.S. pharmacy chain CVS Corp. said August 19, 2004 it would offer the world's first disposable digital camera with a bright color viewing screen that allows consumers to instantly preview pictures. The new camera, priced at $19.99, marks an evolution from the first generation of one-time-use digital cameras sold in U.S. retail chains, including Walgreen's, for the past year. This older line had no ability to instantly review photos. The camera comes with a 1.4-inch liquid crystal display (LCD) screen that allows users to preview pictures, delete poor images, and reshoot them to obtain the best shots possible. REUTERS/CVS Corp.
