Somehow, this still fits in the rant category of: "Why is it that Japan always has the cool looking stuff and all we get in Canada is the design rejects?"

I walked by the Lomography store a couple times in Shibuya, but couldn't make myself go in. Checked out the Impossible store as well, in Nakameguro, but it was closed.

Nah I just knew exactly what they offer, and at an even higher cost in yen. Nothing there for me.

They looko alright But they are just the same cameras with wallpaper on.  Lomography's marketing stated that they'd be releasing three NEW cameras and they turned out to be these.  Shame.

I must admit they could have brought something wildly new to the market... but realistically, what did you expect from them?

Very true Francois, very true.  I'm sure there are also plenty of people who will snap them up.  I have a Diana F+ myself and think it's a great little camera but overpriced all the same.  I won't be buying another one just because the colour has changed. ???
