That's cool. My favorite crap cams (also known as toy cams) are the little 110 film "keychain" cameras that snap around a 110 film cartridge. But alas, Walmart doesn't process 110 film any longer, so I have to get it sent out of state.
My first digital crap cam was a "Jam Cam", back in 2002. I think the term "crap cam" didn't do it justice.
JAM CAM!!! Mine too! It was this yellow plastic thing and didn't have a flash. I took it apart once and could remember looking at all of the wasted space inside the thing. I guess this means I might have to post some crap cam pictures in the future as well.
The ones I posted in my prior post were all from the crapcam as well. I think those looked decent. Granted, I was outside in good sunlight and then converted them all to greyscale.
Right now, I'm having a little fun carrying it with me for random shots and then getting that little surprise to see just what I captured.
Its kind of in-between that digital instant feedback and sending it out to a photo lab...

I like that there is no preview screen. So blasphemous for a digital device.
