In this case aerodynamic could simply mean it "breaks wind."
Uh, what is THAT...?

With all that blinking on/off stuff in the page I had an epileptic fit before I got to the camera description... 😉

Walking into my kids school for her choir recital with one of those babies hanging from my neck will put all the D70's and d-reb's to SHAME!

I have one of these. I got mine thrown in for free when I bought 3 cameras from this guy on eBay (one of those cameras is my Neoka I use for my current avatar). It is indeed crappy. I have never used it and never will use it. This Saturday I am taking it to my friends house and I am giving it to my friends almost 8yo daughter. She can have fun with it.
If you want to know more about this camera just ask.

Over the years I bought two for less than $1 apiece to use for a Toy Camera forum and have received two or three comparables as gifts from well meaning friends/relatives. The lens has similar optical qualities to bubble wrap. Their main redeeming feature is the fact they only weigh slightly more than a 4 pack of film.

I had a friend who received one as a donation for charity raffle. I hated to tell him it was worth maybe $5 max.

According to dictionary.com, "acro" is: top, tip, or extremity.nwcanonman said:
So, top of the iceberg? Or tip of the heap? Or...I cook in a bar/restaurant and especially during the summer months, we get a bunch of college age kids wanting to sell various junk. Last year one of them had this camera with ,I think, the "Cannon" brand. And got very offended when I fell to giggling like a madman about it. The bartender on duty that day was looking to get herself a new P&S camera, came back in the kitchen to ask me (the resident camera geek) about it, so I went out to the bar to see what she was talking about. The kid selling this said the "real" price was 75$ or so but he only had this last one left and didn't want to carry it around so he would let it go for 30$. Which is when I started laughing. If I recall correctly, my suggestion to the bartender was "Any thing but that" and then "Disposables would give you better pictures".
At least the Holga/Diana clan don't make any BS claims.

PS: the bartender ended up getting a Pentax 105WR

Back at home they use to scam people by adding some lead at the bottom of these cameras so that they would feel "solid"

The world must be ending, not only did someone bid on IT, someone else felt compelled to outbid them! A soon to be sought after crap-tacular camera, for sure! Get in line boys and girls.

The poor soul will soon find out how aerodynamic the camera really is. As soon as it's tossed into the bin. Poor fella. 🙁

I found one of them at St Vinnies yesterday while I was pondering an Argus brick (overpriced). My it's even worse up close than I imagined. It's so ... wrong... that it's hard to imagine someone buying one even accidently.
