Guys, have a look at this little pocket rocket. I am intrigued at the images this little thing produces. This may end up being my camera in the pocket. I just ordered the one and only available on eBay that is stateside. No box or manual... but what the hay.

I' have seen good images from this camera.
There's a guy doing interesting work with one at rangefinderimages.com.
Well worth a look.

They're on sale everywhere in Japan and here in Hong Kong.

How much did you pay for it? They're pretty dinky, plasticky little cameras that produce a digital 'lomo' effect: i.e., fairly poor image quality with programmed light 'leaks', vignetting and a whole host of other effects most strive to avoid.

That said, like other cameras in the Lomography stable, I have seen some very beautiful images taken with it.

If anyone is interested in getting a brand new one from me in Hong Kong, I have a feeling I last saw them for around US$90 in the stores. Give or take $10!

I'm not sure about that.
I've been studying the images at rangefinderimages.com and the flickr group (both linked to above) and I like what I see.

In fact I just ordered one from Hong Kong, HERE.

For the Brits, there is HERE.

Now the long wait 🙁

I had one and sold it a few months back. It is plasticky and dinky, but put together well for what it is. Image quality is OK, but my Droid 2's 5mp camera is better and more flexible in most cases, which is what prompted me to sell it. Shutter lag is murder, and it sucks batteries worse than a lonley vampire. Viewfinder is useless as you can't turn off LCD for more than one shot. It is very hackable and you can do some interesting mods to it if inclined. I will say that I liked the color images it produced, as the colors were very film-like and rather pleasing. No idea what you're expectations are for it, but it can be a fun & quirky little camera, though very, very limited for everyday use.

This was one of my favorite pics from it. For whatever reason, I like the way it handles greens and foliage colors.
