Digital camera reviews of Holga 146120 120 Color Flash Camera
Digital camera Review: Lots of fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
This camera is a lot of fun. It's nice to actually use real film, wait to develop it, and have those nice saturated beautiful medium format shots. It can be kind of tough to find places to develop this type of film, and it can be expensive! I'd suggest learning to develop it yourself if you can...
Digital camera Review: Love it
Summary: 5 Stars
I have shot 10 rolls of film so far and they are my favorite pictures I have ever taken. This may be my favorite thing I have ever bought :)
Digital camera Review: Love this Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera just to have a photography fun. It's great and take very nice pictures. It was shipped quickly too, which was great because I took it on a trip.Digital camera Review: New Favorite Toy!
Summary: 4 Stars
This camera has become an instant favorite. I have collected vintage cameras for several years and even have a few very old Rolleiflex, Mamiya, and Leica models. As a seasoned photographer and a huge fan of medium format, I was very impressed with what the Holga can do for a low-end plastic camera. It doesn't feel like much, but the images it produces are completely unique and surprisingly high quality.
Don't confuse quality with perfection, though. Because of the cheesy plastic construction you'll get light leaks and other little quirks - but as any Holga enthusiast will tell you, these are part of their charm. The features are pretty basic, which can be both a pro and a con. On one hand, it doesn't allow you to customize settings too much, but on the other, it is incredibly easy to use and anyone can produce deceptively amazing, artistic photos with a hip, vintage feel without any knowledge of film photography. The built-in color flash is a great feature, with a dial that lets the user choose between basic white, red, blue, or yellow light.
I definitely recommend this camera, with a couple small pieces of advice: purchase this model instead of the kit (which doesn't come with most of the things pictured and doesn't have much added value for the price, unless you really want the booklet of Holga photos). Then, use the extra money to buy yourself some film (the results on black and white are remarkable.) You won't be sorry when you have your first set of prints in hand.
Digital camera Review: New to Toys
Summary: 5 Stars
I had read about the Holga and other toy cameras, but I din't realize what fun it would be. Playing with the multi-color flash, expired film or doing multiple exposures. It's all good!
