Digital is a pain - it's official.

Apparantly this "is the camera that brings pleasure back to digital photography". I don't believe it but at least the digi scribes are now admitting digital photography is no pleasure. ;)

I've seen at the Photographers Gallery last week... it's the size of a 110 camera with a very expensive price.

 Superheadz trying to out-lomo Lomo. They seem to be saying it's fun b/c you don't get to use the LCD to preview, but sight through a viewfinder frame instead. (ie- they save on manufacture costs and increase profit)

I gotta even better idea. Take away the LCD altogether and wait till you process the images to see what you shot...

And hey, why not do it all on this cute stuff called film rather than an un-fun computer? Lots of pleasure and surprises....

my old eyes say NO to cameras with no LCD's (and what I'm assuming may be perhaps no diopter adjustments).  ... and what is it about making things smaller? I find it more difficult to handle tiny gadgets.

well, it is japanese. they like small cameras.

i find it vaguely interesting, but only $50 worth, not the $200 or whatever it costs. i actually find the video more interesting than the still shots.

There's always a point where I think small gets too small... and expensive gets too expensive. This one does both whether it be film or digi.
