Digital camera reviews of Lomographic Holga Starter Kit
Digital camera Review: A new experience in photography
Summary: 4 Stars
This camera may be plastic but it's not meant for kids, the film is a little more difficult to load than a 35mm camera and is a little more fragile. But if you're interested in photography and you have never tried something different than a standard 35mm camera or a digital camera, this is a great product to buy. The book that comes with it includes work from other "lomographers" as well as tips and tricks on how to use your camera. The varied results are much more fun and interesting than a regular camera, and there are so many possibilities. It uses 120mm medium format film which you will need to purchase online or from a photo shop, worth the extra effort for the results if you're serious about photography.Digital camera Review: Addicted to Holga
Summary: 4 Stars
I first started out with digital, but was drawn to the world of lomography and holga-graphy. I thought the package would take forever to get here because of the arrival estimate, but it came in quite fast. I bought the kit for $50, and thought it was a good invesment--the package came in with the camera, several manuals, batteries, tape, 120 film and a great book from the lomography society featuring holga shots, tips and tricks. I am almost done with the first film and can't wait to see how it turns out.
There is one downside though. The Holga camera I bought was a 120 CFN, which uses different colored flashes. I was very disappointed that the flash did not work! I tried changing batteries--nada. It sucks to have a 120 CFN with a non-working flash; I mean, the color flash is the defining characteristic of this model! The Holga is an awesome camera because you never know what you'll get image-wise, but please don't expect that it will WORK because after all, it is just a cheap plastic toy camera...
Digital camera Review: Amazing pics, scary and confusing experience
Summary: 3 Stars
If you are a first time HOLGA photographer, prepare to be completely confused and scared. I still have no idea if my camera even works. It makes absolutely no sound when the camera clicks, and the button for taking pictures feels hard when pushed down (I'm not even sure if it actually took any pictures at all). But the manual prepares you for this experience. According to them Holga cameras can be nerve recking at first until you develop the pictures and fall INLOVE with them. I haven't had time to develop mine, so I'm still a little confused. Lightweight, fun camera. It feels like a toy. Great to take around on a long walk and experiment. Color flash is a great addition, I used different colors on my pictures, can't wait to see them. Oh, and also sometimes the flash wouldn't work when "taking picture". Like I said, COMPLICATED, takes a while to understand the mechanics. HOLGA images are amazing, I am very excited and hoping it worked out fine! Good luck!Digital camera Review: Camera is A+ but buy your own film.
Summary: 3 Stars
My specialty camera store could not process the film that came with this camera. Love, love, LOVE the Holga, but go out and buy your own 120 film if you want any pictures at all.Digital camera Review: Don't expect perfection!
Summary: 5 Stars
But with a Holga, the lack of perfection is what makes it special! :Love this little guy. The colored flashes add even more hilarity to the beast! Cheapest way to get into medium format ever. Oh... and so NOT a toy!
