 not quite what I expected May 27, 2010

I recently bought this camera but couldn't manage to get it working yet because I couldn't figure out how to put the film in it. there is no instructions or users manual or nothing inside the package, so I'm left on my own to figure out everything.
my first thoughts when I opened up the package was that it is quite huge and doesn't look elegant at all. very basic simple design and material. compared to the previous semi-disposable lomo's i've used this seems really big for the job.
the film size is also different (bigger) than the regular standard films. my previous lomo worked with any standard film, so I don't know yet if this can pose a problem.
on the other hand, this camera has all the features you need.
final verdict: doesn't worth the price nor the big size
Seems decent so far April 13, 2010

When I first got the camera the shutter was sticking so I dropped some WD 40 on it. That seemed to do the trick. Be sure to either do the velcro mod or plan to tape up the back very good before you start shooting. The only other thing I can recommend is tape down the flash batteries as well. Mine started rolling around inside the camera while it had film in it. The flash fires up and works okay. Not had any issues with that yet.

I've been seriously into photography since 1999. I've had a few pictures published in magazines and I've even had some embassies buy my work. There are days when my photography feels like work and kind of stresses me out. Well I've found my little fix for days like that. The Holga camera's are perfect for fun photography. My best personal photo's have come from a Holga and it was all when I was just flipping away and not worrying too much about the composition of the shot or the exposure. The color flash adds another spin to an already fun camera. I love to use the flash in the daytime up close to my subjects (The blue flash on the beach gives an awesome feel to a photo).
My only complaint is the hassle of loading and unloading the film and the cheap feel to it, but then again it's a 'toy' camera so I guess that's part of the experince.
I recomend this (more so with the 35mm version) to anyone just looking to bring fun back into their photography.
 Don't pay $50 for this camera August 24, 2007

My main point in writing this review is that you can get this camera for much, much cheaper by buying it used or elsewhere.
The Holga is fun and I know many people who swear by it. While I personally have never been extremely into lomography/"plastic fantastic" cameras, if you are this is a good camera and the advantage of using medium format film is wonderful. Also there are scores of websites that will tell you all the ways you can modify your Holga. So have fun! But seriously, there's almost no reason why not to buy this item used. I would not pay more than $20 for it.
