This review is from: Digital Holga Takashi FX521 Digital Lomo CameraThis thing is a piece of garbage. I bought this for a kid's photography class because of its fun shape and ease of use. I took 10 pictures to test it and then the LCD screen stopped working. I was expecting better quality for the price. Then I found the original Yashica F251 and that worked fine, but don't be fooled by the marketing. No digital camera is going to get you a true holga look though. Stick to shooting film on a Holga or a LOMO camera if you want all the "creative mistakes": light leaks, vignettes, over blown color saturation, plastic lens soft focus,etc.
This review is from: Digital Holga Takashi FX521 Digital Lomo CameraPerhaps not, but this is still a fun little camera. The whole point of a Holga is the unpredictability, ease of use, and lack of options. I have a Yashica EZ f521 which was rebranded by Takashi. My Yashica works for me the way the Holga does for others.I live in an area where trying to find someone to develop 120 film is still problematic, let alone trying to find someone who is willing to cross process 120 or 35 mm film or can process film without color correction.I bought a set of Kola color filters that I use with my Yashica and I take it everywhere. And I just bought the Takashi to try to convert to Holga lenses.Pros: Cheap enough you can take anywhere or even let the kids use. Takes AAA batteries which are widely availableUses SDHC memory cards which are widely available. With a card reader you don't need to worry about compatibility with your operating system.Because of how the camera takes pictures using a line by line scan you can get some nice distortion effects Some interesting in-camera effects you don't see with lower end point and shoots.If you want in-camera vignetting it is an easy hack. Cons: The flash washes out everythingIt eats batteriesMaximum image quality/size isn't really 12 megapixels.only ASA 100No optical zoom and digital zoom is pretty badShutter lag in low lighting
This review is from: Digital Holga Takashi FX521 Digital Lomo CameraI was looking for a good "digital lomo" camera this one sounds good, but the images just aren't what I was expecting. I have seen some other digital lomos only available in asia that are much better.
