If it does everything it says, I say it would be worth it.

There are a number of threads on this topic. Lots of experienced photographers don't seem to think much of it, especially at the price, but others seem to find it a great convenience. If you search the threads, use google for the terms Ugly Hedgehog and Arsenal. The regular UHH search function searches only titles and people frequently use thread titles that have nothing to do with the actual question, such as "new gadget" or "Does this work?" etc.

Just my opinion, your mileage may vary, but why use a gadget to become a spectator in the photographic process? I for one want to have total control over the process, from pre-visualization to final print. I guess it stems from the film days of the early 1970's when I cut my photographic "teeth", before there were even such things as cameras with automatic exposure, much less autofocus. To this day I only own manual focus Nikkors and my cameras, both film and digital are used in manual 95%+ of the time. In fact, most of my film cameras, with the exception of my F4E are manual only. I still have my original Nikon FTN and it is still one of my favorite and most used film cameras. Most of the time I don't even use the camera's meter, opting instead for an incident/flash meter or 1º spot meter and using Ansel Adams' Zone System (which can be adapted to digital with some caveats). My Hasselblad does not even have a meter. This old dog can learn new tricks, but chooses not to, stick with what has worked for coming up on 50 years.

To each his own, but not for me at any price.

Why, you could buy a camera, put it on a tripod, walk away, and come back later to find the shots of your dreams.
What photographic fun!!

Where's the sense of accomplishment and fun in that? I am assuming you were being facetious

Isn't that obvious?

I bought it, played with it, took some pictures, put it on the shelf and it's still there.
