Mitty,

Don't blame Schulman for selling a product. You should thank him for bringing this to our attention and taking the time to do the work and sell a complete package. The price is and should be whatever the market demands.

You should be pissed at all of the hackers, myself included, for screwing up the business model of PureDigital. Technically, you are making money by not having to spend any getting your video processed.

Mark,
You have got to be kidding me with this reply, right? Schulman did not bring this to our attention, this camera has been hacked for several months now and Schulman is just trying to make money off of the hard work of others. Why should Mitty be pissed at the hackers. Lets see, you go to CVS buy the camera for 30.00, take the video and turn in the camera, pay 12.00 to get the video put on a DVD and they keep your camera. Then Puredigital recycles it and resells it back to you again for another 30.00. The hackers just found a way so you pay 30.00 once and use it over and over again. You should be applauding the hackers and not pure digital or schulman for trying to pull a fast one on everyone.



Now I am more confused than ever! This thing?? http://www.shulmanaviation.com/Micro-Camera.html That's not the same as the CVS deal, right? BTW, I am still up here in Huntsville and there is a CVS pharmacy near by. A quick lunch time trip may be in order!
Woketman,
I just went out to the schulman site and found that they have taken the hacked CVS camera off of their website so you won't see it on there anymore. So I can understand your confusion as it is no longer there.



Is there any way to move the lens to a 90 degree angle to the board?
Jon,
I brought mine in to work with me today and one of our electronic engineers is going to take a look at it to see if he can find away to extend the lens away from the main unit. He said that he should have an answer for me by friday if this would be something simple or extremely complicated.
