  • I bought a couple Japanese toy cameras via Buyee recently. Definitely not pixel peeper stuff.

    The cheese camera is quite rubbish, stretches images vertically it seems. Super pocketable though.

    The other is a Harinezumi v1. Has a broken battery door hence the rubber band around it but it was half too a third the cost of buying one in the uk.

    These images are from it and are pretty awesome I think if you like this kind of thing.

  • love the aesthetic, reminds me of the outputs from an Holga camera. i especially like the one of the lamp post. definitely intrigued by the camera.

  • Cheers, yeah very Holga-sequel I’d say.

    I’ve been really enjoying using it, it’s so pocketable.

    Took the cheese camera out the other evening and it’s so bad. It’s almost painterly. The video out of it has quite a ‘look’ But the stills are pretty horrendous.

    Insta link as I haven't got access to the files at the moment.

  • I have the first version of the camera, it’s 3mp and pretty rudimentary in terms of options (hi/lo quality, 100 or 800 iso, that’s about it) there are at least 3 more versions of it but supposedly only the first one has the sensor that natively produces images that look like this. The others are all ‘better’, having higher resolution I think and more options like b&w and different colour modes and maybe the screen does live view which mine doesn’t, but they don’t have the same look.

    With no live view and no viewfinder (there’s a flip up frame on top but it’s pretty useless) framing shots is somewhat tricky but I want to try and get into the habit of just taking what I get first time.
