Ikea's Contribution To Photography/GAS/Cameras

The ultimate trolling for the RF community would be IKEA making the first FF M mount camera under $2k. Out of cardboard :)
 
To hell with that.

My last visit to an ikea store resulted in me losing my car in their carpark ... they promised to return it to me if they find it!

:p
 
thats the way a digital should look like! i hate all this retro-designs, dressing digitals as analog. good design should show the substance.

but more important... how will they name it?? i vote for ulfhildr.
 
Keith, you crack me up. I'm starting a fund to get you this side of the planet for a month or ten of imbibing.
 
And, the IKEA logo, too, of course.

Will Luigi Leicatime make a custom case for this? How will Ken Rockwell receive this in his first review? How will Fuji counter this? How about a Thumbs Up for this baby? Can it be had ala carte? How will they do on the secondary market? Have you pre-ordered one yet? No, I'm waiting for the next generation.

I would probably cover that black dot with red tape though

Am I the only one who saw that picture and thought IKEA is selling a cardboard cassette tape complete with a pen to roll the tape in when it got jammed in the tapedeck.

:D
 
And the Image stabilisation too.

They call it Knäppa, which means to button (literally) or to shoot (slang)
 
Knäppa could also be a word play on the word "Knäpp", meaning crazy. ;)

And I actually have one of them!
It's a bit heavier than you expect, especially with batteries in it, and all the pictures you take are locked, meaning you can't delete them directly from device (you have to use the delete function on the camera) and you are hindered to do other stuff before you've unlocked and re-saved them – a bit annoying. The image quality... well, there's isn't much of an image quality. It has an interesting blur characteristic when shot in low light, it looks like it is out of focus when it is supposed to be motion blur. Very strange, dare I call it bokeh? :D

Anyhow, it's a great little camera for the collection! (And people can't tease me for not having a digital camera anymore!)
