Ilford brings back the Sprite 35 point & shoot camera... sort of.
While the name remain the same, the look is completely different. Though I should say that the new one does look good (but not as funky as the original).
It's priced to compete with Kodak's recent offerings.

For those in the US B&H is selling the Ilford Harman reusable with much the same specifications for 29.50 including two 36exp rolls of B&W film. Order up enough extra film to bring the total to $49+ and shipping is free. Don’t know long they will have these, they could perhaps be discontinued with this new item introduction. But, right now a much better deal than this new camera.

I saw this and thought it might be interesting to load with fast b&w and to do some street photography.  Should be fun!

[Francois]

Definitely.

One of the things I like is that it still looks good while being unobtrusive.
Also, the price is cheaper than the price of the Dubblefilm Show...

That original Sprite is straight out of Thunderbirds - am I showing my age!

You're right about that.
Somehow I really miss the retro-futuristic look of those old tv shows. I just wish we lived more in a Jetsons world...
