ha!
for the money they charge you can invariably do infinitely better, and their own-brand 'lomography' cameras (not the lomos) tend to be pretty shit, and very expensive. the fisheye one is fun though. for the money of a lubitel (on their site) you could probably get a yashicamat, or maybe even a rolleiflex. not saying the lubitel is a bad camera though..
also they seem to make people think that every photo you take will be super-saturated and with very high contrast, but this is simply down to the cross-processing of the film. most of the cameras don't really offer anything that you couldn't achieve with cheaper, better made ones.
£280 for a lomo lc-a is completely ridiculous, as is the mark-up on the other cameras they sell. zenit-e (a great camera), for example can be had for <£20 on ebay, yet they charge £145.
the horizon panoramic camera is really cool though.
