Ok, I realize this isn't a "real" camera, but it has me intrigued. The funky playfulness of the possible pictures sort of remind me of the holga cameras. Seems inexpensive for what you might get. A good toy camera, or piece of junk? Opinions?

I don't plan to invest in that one.

This is a great idea! Now, there is a phone camera, without the phone! It can be banged around and lost without breaking or losing all of your contacts and life-information! Not only can it casually document your life, in the right hands, it can actually take great photos. Bravo for the Bonzart Ziegel!

I wouldn’t buy, but I’m for anything that gets the “young’uns” interested in photography. It’s a step.

Seems basically like a digital Holga

Uh, no thanks.

Sounds like an interesting and fun “toy” camera, as does their Bonzart Ampel TLR. But the price point, if it’s going to be in the range of their Ampel is a bit much, IMO, for a “toy” camera. You can get a pocketable compact for considerably less and do your own special effects in PP.

Don't need anymore toys.

I actually prefer using buttons and dials over having to dive deep into a menu system to access functions... over the years, I've missed countless shots because I simply had trouble remembering where to find stuff in the menu.

Looks like a piece of junk to me, not any different than using a phone for shots!
