 Pretty Good for the PriceJan 26, 2010
I bought this camera to play around with in addition to my digital camera and am pleased with it thus far. It's a cheap quality camera so it feels like a toy more than a real camera when you are shooting pictures. It does have light leaks that can produce a unique vignetting effect or can completely wash out the photos. Because of this and the uniqueness of the manufacturing, it can come up with some pretty unpredictable results! If you don't like the effect, it's simple to tape up the sides of the camera. It can use 35 mm film if you adjust the insides a bit, but it usually uses a 120 medium format film. Depending on where you live, it might be hard to find a specialty photography shop to develop your film. It doesn't come with a flash, but this can be bought separately. You can't adjust the focus or the shutter speed either. Since you manually turn the film after each exposure, you can do a neat layering effect on each photo. You can also add color filters to try different effects. It's an interesting camera to experiment with. You won't be able to see the picture immediately after taking it, the same as any film camera. There are other medium format cameras that produce more reliable results, but I recommend this camera for beginners. Also, the picture quality can't compare with digital, but for as cheap as it is, it's worth it if you're interested in some fun pictures. I've only developed one roll of film so far and only three pictures turned out, so I'm not sure if it's the photo shop I went to or if I overexposed the film. They turned out pretty cool, though. They had a kind of pinhole camera quality.

 Best BuyJan 21, 2010
This buy was one of the smartest decisions I've made. It's a great camera for stepping outside of the ordinary and expected. Every shot is an experiment in light, focus and personal style. I love my Holga and would greatly suggest one to a curious photographer, amateur or professional.

Great CameraDec 16, 2009
These cameras are very artistic and unpredictable(in a very good way). I get great results with them. They are fun and easy to use. You should deffinatly buy one if you are interested in photography. They are must have. And this company is the best. Overall a great camera for artistic photographers or students wanting to experiment with the camera.

The post-modern cameraSep 29, 2009
In an era when cameras are getting more and more complicated, when the upgrade cycle means built-in obsolescence for digital cameras within a year or two, when the emphasis is on increasingly incomprehensible "menus" of digital options, and mind-numbing hours playing with Photoshop, along comes the antidote in the most unlikely form: a cheap plastic camera that has virtually no controls, no settings, no predictability whatever. Welcome to the world of Holga. These delightful cameras bring the fun back to photography. All the features that one cannot get in even the most expensive cameras such as light leaks, severe vignetting, lack of sharp focus, accidental double exposures, and light weight are here! What other camera company makes flashes designed to severely tint the image in yellow or red glows? And of course, the sensor is film! No need to worry about ultrasonic cleaning of CCDs, CMOS, or any other electronic material. Each shot gets its very own sensor. Not satisfied that the light leaks are intense enough? No problem. Just make a tiny hole somewhere in the body! The images are unique and immediately recognizable as being from a Holga (even if the subject is totally unrecognizable). This is post-modern photography at its finest.
