Digital camera Review: Free Film!
Summary: 4 Stars
Mine included free 800 asa film! Did not read that in the descrition. The price is high! Wish it was cheaper! It is like a 35mm automatic camera without the batteries and a flash. I plan to have negatives only developed. Hope to save on the cost and then have my scanner that can scan in negatives to the computer. Scanner is the Canon mfr. CanoScan D660u. (is a USB connector). I believe it is avail here at Amazon.com. I have also heard of a Fuji 1x use 8 lens camera for golfing swing analysis. I wonder if it is cheaper!
Summary of Action Sampler 2.0 Camera (Chrome)
The amazing four-lens photo-photo-photo-photo camera. One click: a four-picture series on one print. No focusing, fixed aperture, no shutter-speed, simple technology and a great idea: The ultimate photographic challenge. Uses any 35mm film which can be developed by any photo laboratory. And in the ActionSampler Kit you also get: One roll of ActionSamplerFilm (200 ASA, 24 exposures). And a primer that is as precise as it is ingenious, to show you how to get the most out of this devilish device as it grabs time itself by the scruff of the neck, neatly dissects it into four little pieces and then sticks it back together. With this mini mega-volume you'll soon be a wizz with the whatsit.The Lomographic CyberSampler 2.0 chrome camera uses four separate lenses to capture four unique photos of each scene on one frame of film. The CyberSampler 2.0 takes the photos a fraction of a second apart, creating an "action sample" that shows the sequence of motion. This gives you something akin to "movie stills" that can even be set on your computer to flash like a mini-movie. (Click on the More Pictures link at the top of this page to see sample photos that were taken with the CyberSampler.)
Brought to you by the same Lomographic Society folks who introduced the world to the famed Lomo Kompakt Automat camera, the CyberSampler shares the original Lomo's wacky, creative image--as evidenced in the glossy, photo-filled booklet that comes with the camera and which is a work of art in itself. The CyberSampler is also a study in styling with its off-white, milk-colored case. It doesn't have a flash and sports only a flip-up square to frame your photos. "Shoot from the hip," is the driving philosophy behind the Lomographic Society. Everything with this camera is manual, including film loading, winding, and rewinding, and there are no settings to fiddle with.
Make no mistake, as the booklet blithely states, "The [CyberSampler] is not a finely tuned piece of apparatus made only of the finest in hand-crafted modern materials. It's made of plastic." In short, this means you shouldn't expect sharp, detailed pictures. However, you can expect truly unique, fun, and often striking sequences of photos. The CyberSampler uses any 35mm film but needs plenty of light (outdoor photos turn out the best), so if you want to use it indoors, we recommend using a high-speed film (ISO 400 or higher).
The CyberSampler is a blast to use, and it makes a great gift. While it has plenty of limitations, its distinctive way of seeing the world is fun and offbeat.
Pros: Captures action with four photos on one frame Easy to use Colorful, unique styling Uses normal 35mm film (2 rolls included) Cons: Cheaply constructed plastic camera Needs lots of light Relatively low-quality, blurry pictures
