Negative Positive
Title: qUiRkY but functional.
Review: Despite the wanky marketing hype of the official site, the LOMO is a funky and useful little camera.As an artist, I often need to take images of thangs all over the place - something inspirational in a gallery, stuff for sale at a flea market, obese people in public, etc.In places where photos are frowned-upon, you can easily take stealth photos and get away with it - no flash/autowind or beeping to give you away.And the robust/compact construction means one can just plop it in a pocket and forget about it until it's needed.Another bonus of sorts is the fixed focus - one can readily take snap shots through the glass of display cases - something an autofocussing snap-happy-job just won't do.On the down side, shots taken from within a few feet of the subject are often blurry (unless you're really accurate with the appropriate distance 80cm/1.5m etc) - but landscape shots always work well.
Is the review positive or negative?
