 Cool pictures June 7, 2009
Nice camera for fun snapshots... give a great fisheye effect. It's much cheaper than an actual fisheye lens for a digital camera, but about the same image quality as a disposable camera, so don't expect the sharp images that you'd get with a real nice camera. Maximum fisheye effect occurs real close to the subject (within a foot or so... but not too close as the subject will then become blurry), but you still can get a nice effect if you take pictures from further away (although if you get too far the object will become tiny or even invisible).
Be prepared to buy a lot of film and spend money getting them developed though (especially when you're first getting started and want to take some test pictures, as it's mostly luck how good the pictures turn out). I can say that they do improve with experience. You really do need to get used to the flash... it must be used while you are indoors, but it's a little bright so it might make the subject look blown-out. Best thing to do would be to cover the flash with something (like a napkin) to lessen its strength, or just to only use this camera outside on bright, sunny days.
A warning though, this camera is made of plastic... and after several uses, the knob to wind up the film (when you run out of exposures and want to remove the film from the camera) broke off on mine. The camera is still usable... but it's a pain taking the film out now.
One last thing I like about this product... you can buy the Lomography Fisheye Submarine Case (Clear/Red) to use this camera underwater, in which you can get some great shots.
 This camera has PLASTIC lens but not Optical GLASS! April 22, 2009
Out of curiosity I bought one of this camera which said that it has a 170 degree Optical-Glass Lens but it actually has a PLASTIC lens. I hope someone from Amazon will change the Technical Detail and Specification of the AD. This lens can be easily scratched so be very careful. In fact mine camera came with a clear scratch on the side of the front element. I felt that a $40 for this plastic camera is a bit expensive. The only big merit to this toy is its 170 degree lens and the kind of images you can take will cost you a few hundreds dollar more usually for a real optical Glass lens.
Fun little camera, produces great results in the right conditions! April 14, 2009
This camera is fun to play with, and produces interesting results when the conditions are right. I find the viewfinder useless, so I just aim the camera on instinct, knowing that it's fisheye will capture what I want, particularly if I'm close to the subject. If I'm shooting in marginal conditions, I will turn on the flash, let it charge up, then turn it off, take the picture with the flash, then take a second one with the flash off. I would never consider it a replacement for a SLR or other high quality camera, but it definetly has it's place in my camera bag. Overall, a nice little camera to play with.
For Fun March 28, 2009
So I bought this camera just for fun. I'm no photographer and I just wanted a camera to take fun pictures with my friends. I LOVE this camera, it's probably not the best camera in the world but it does everything I expect it to do. The photos are just so much fun. This camera seems to take the best photos in a lot of light.
Quirky Litte Camera January 13, 2009
I was worried about getting this camera based on the reviews that I saw on amazon and when I finally got it, but boy was I wrong. While the Camera looks really cheap for the money you paid for it, it takes some awesomme and weird pictures. I took pictures both outside and inside on a cloudy Chicago day and out of 26, 22 came out perfect, 2 came out dark, and 2 did not come out well. Thats still pretty good since the entire fun of this camera is not knowing what will come out. I think it is a really great little item and, if you like taking some pictures, grab 400 speed 35mm film, the camera, and start shooting. The only downside is you need to manually wind the film in and out of the camera. Has a nice old time feel!
