The results at PMA were only fair and with the negatives destroyed in the process it will only take a few "failures" to drive people away. I also think that it is too late as digital is hitting better than 50% of camera sales once you take away the disposables. I believe that their business model is to place these beasts in high traffic areas to tempt passing consumers. I am not sure what the reaction will be when some people get that shiny CD back, possibly think they have won the latest Travis Tripp or Snoop Doggy offerings. The camera industry is trying to get everyone to dump however many film camera's are lying around the garage, basement, closet shelves and convert to digital. If they can control the ruinous product cycle wars there will be good money to be made converting the masses away from film.
