FunkyCam - the digital Holga?

[nightwolf75]

okie... know most of the CSers loath Michael Reichmann. but, humour me for a while and read this very interesting article of this FunkyCam.

*darn... makes me wanna go buy one too, just for the heck of it!*

looks fun! where do i get one of these?

[dslang]

those shots look horrendous. might as well shoot bad shots and photoshop them later.

shoot a holga with real film in it.

My mobile phone can do better.
But nice to have 1 if it's only 20SGD.

Do I sense an MO here? hEHEHE

Actually, it looks really attractive - small, plasticky and can actually take photos! And it comes on a key-chain! Man, I used to have a fetish with miniaturised replicas of anything when I was a kid!

These also remind me of the locally available (but much more X) C-HEEZ super compacts you see from time to time at road-shows as freebies for CC or Insurance plans sales.

The whole purpose of these things is: HAVE FUN! I'm goiung to get me one ... if I can justify another camera purchase to my wife! LOL!

The sales of these cameras will hot up if a campaign is is started such that if anyone submits a picture of someone smoking at bus stops or prohibited places, or someone eating in the MRT, and if these people are successfully convicted and fined, the photographer gets 25% of the fine money. Sure to make law enforcement a public affair and deter people from flouting such rules.

Is any Straits Times or Zaobao photographer reading this?

tuan, now its down to my fren who will be passing thru taipei in a few days time. see if he managed to spot the keychain cam there.

On 2nd thought, not bad for spy work.
A bit of modification and you can have a wired remote trigger from the top of your foot, thru your pants, to your fingers.
