Neat Little Camera 
2008-04-05
It's a neat little camera, and it takes pretty good pictures. Don't expect super high quality photos, but it's worth the money if you have fun with photography and want a little fisheye camera to play with. However, I did have to return it once because the flash broke on mine the first time, but the return was easy, and my new one works just fine!
Fun little Camera 
2008-03-09
Great camera for fun little 35mm fisheye shots. Thing is on the first one I had the flash didn't work, but the Lomo folks def came through with support on that. The flash sometimes is blinded by how the lens sticks out form the body and casts a shadow. But good camera for the price!

Cheap way to experience Fisheye Lense 2007-12-03
I love this camera! I brought this in chrismas 2006 and I think it was a great cheap way to try out fisheye lense. This camera is very manual: 1) You will have to load & unload the film in yourself. 2) You have to turn on the flash most of the time for your shots. 3)Every time you are done with taking a picture you'll have to rewind the film. 4) When you finish the film, you would have to wind the film all the way until you hear the click sound manually.
My 1st roll of the film didn't come out at all coz I didn't stick in the battery for the flash. On my 2nd roll of film after I started using the flash on almost every single picture (except for under super bright sunlight), then the pictures come out great! I would recommand using 400 speed film to be safe. Don't be cheap to use the 100 speed film coz it's not working very well. The pictures come out to be VERY dramatic and interesting and I love this camera ever since. Will buy the 2nd generation with the fisheye soon!!
Not worth the hype 
2007-09-11
I don't know what all the hype is about. I read all the reviews on here and thought that the pricey-ness for what it is, would be worth it. But I was wrong! First, the camera itself feels like a cheap disposable. Still, I gave it a chance and was genuinely excited to try this camera when out I first received it in the mail. I took photos everywhere -- indoors, outdoors, in daylight, in the dark, with flash, without flash, everything! I took 8 rolls of film and got them developed, just waiting for work to end so I could pick up my photos. What a disappointment! First of all, the lens protrudes out the front of the camera, so some shots look like a big shadow is intruding the middle of the picture. Second, the "fish-eye" aspect of the camera isn't all that noticeable. I want more! Third, the flash makes subjects nearly unrecognizable. Fourth, things were either too dark even in the daylight, or washed out with the flash. Lastly, I only got maybe 2 or 3 "cool" photos out of the 8 rolls of film I took! Not worth it, in my opinion.
Vibrant and Fun 2008-07-01
I've had this camera for about a year now, having forgotten to review it when I first received it, and I love it. The colors are surprisingly vibrant, more so than I had expected, and the camera has a nice feel to it. Because this is a fisheye camera, I find that I've stopped using the viewfinder. I just point the camera at my intended subject and shoot. Part of the fun is in not know exactly how your picture will turn out, and usually it turns out great.
This camera works best in bright, natural lighting. I used it while flying kites with friends and loved the results. Inside, the pictures tend to turn out dark without the flash, or white washed with the flash, as the flash tends to be too strong.
This camera isn't perfect, which it the point. You have to expect and embrace the imperfections, otherwise this camera will drive you crazy. But for those looking for something fun and different, I fully recommend the Lomo Fisheye.
Fishie 2008-05-14
This camera is really easy to use -- once you get the hang of it. I suggest getting a cheap role of film to shoot some test shots before doing anything serious. Also, it works best outside. Clearly this isn't a primary camera but it's nice to have in your camera bag for a more unusual or artsy shot.
Fun and funky little camera 2008-05-06
This camera is pretty fun to play with. I guess I had different expectations for how the the pictures would come out. But once I knew what to expect I had a lot of fun with it! When you get your prints back, the image is in a black circle. And if you're not careful, your feet may end up in the shot because of the lens being so wide! Also I got a few shots with the lens cap dangling in the way. So be mindful of your lens cap and your feet and just go to town!
Great 
2008-04-26
For what it is it is darn amazing, if you want critical sharpness don't spend thirty dollars on a single exposure 35mm fisheye. Go Spend a thousand on a specific lens. Its great fun, a great travel camera.
Awesome......take advantage of the flash! 2008-04-25
Camera is great. Love it. Wasted almost my whole first roll because I should of used the flash more. The lens doesn't seem to grab as much light as a regular lense, so use the flash often. Total user error though. Camera is awesome. Enjoy!
