Were to get prints from CVS disposable digital camera?

About 5 or 6 years ago CVS and some other companies were selling a disposable digital camera. The idea of a disposable digital camera never took off because I think it got hacked too quickly and too many people simply started using them as a regular non-disposable camera. I'm just guessing at that and any real insight would be appreciated.

We have a client that has one of these cameras and can find no one that is able to pull the files from the camera. Is there anyone doing this anywhere on earth anymore? My company specialize in processing expired and very old film and may pick this up as a service if no one else is doing it and if we can find a realitively simple hack.

Any insight into these odd ball cameras would be great.

    The other answerer has no clue what he is talking about. CVS has existed for many years, and the disposable digital cameras are DIGITAL, and can't be developed in C-41 chemicals.

    You have to hack the camera in order to get the pictures off. Check the links below for more info.

    Walmart sells these cameras & offers the processing as well. Are you even serious ? Hack these cameras ? You turn in the camera for processing & they keep it and send it in to be recycled. I really

    doubt if anyone would want to reuse one of these cheap plastic cameras.

    You don't need to "hack" a camera that already has machines to process them.

    Why does someone who claims to be in the business know nothing about it ???

    BTW, there was no CVS 5 or 6 years ago.And expired film is processed in C-41 just like new film.

    Contact the store that you brought it to and ask them when you should receive your pictures.
