    while this is a good looking camera, it's all so a piece of crap.
    stay away from plastic cameras like holga, lomo and now BBF

    if you want to spend 100+ on a camera pick up a fantastic used Olympus XA model... rock solid, fit in your pocket.. every shot, all manual and still worth the same amount if you decide to resell it...

    and why pro photographers carry this on their vacations
