Thinking of investing in a camera with some oomph and style? Relentlessly searching among piles and piles of digital camera advertorials and commercials, unable to find something whacky and smart enough to carry while you’re on the go? On a mid-sized budget, but still want a camera that spiffs up the entire look of your travel gear? If I were you I’d probably go for this one. It’s for $200, and pretty stylish too. And to add to the icing, it’s from a company that has over 90 years of expertise in making it. Well thankfully they have done the conventional Rolleiflex in a more modern day look, and the cool thing is you can stuff it right into your pocket and won’t have to worry about a thing.
It’s complete with twin lenses, and a crank that has to be reset to hit the sensor to the next shot. Add into the mix a 3MP sensor that shoots in a square format (the original Rolleiflex shot 6cm x 6cm medium format film) and a minuscule size of 4.9cm x 7.3cm x 4.5cm. Of course like for all things new, there is a lot of criticism in the air for this one too, especially about minor photographic inconveniences it causes. But unless you’re aiming to woo the pricey Queen with your talent, it’s got all that it takes to indulge in some decent photography whilst checking out the finer things in life, if you know what I mean.
