Lomography Colorsplash 35MM Camera by Lomography Sales Rank: 2113 $60.95 Available from Amazon on 3-4-2010

Included in the Box: The Color Splash is like photographic rock and roll. I love the long-exposure with colored-flash style - it's really cool. You end up with a bright, colored subject against a glowing background. If you wave the camera around with the shutter open, you can place these crazy streaks of light behind your subject as well. There's no other camera that can do this, and its white body is dead sexy. As another reviewer mentioned, a tripod thread would be nice, (Lomo, can you hear me??) but I can live without it for the time being. Be sure to use 400 or 800 speed film - that way you'll maximize your flash range. Also, get close when you use the purple or red filters, they block a lot of light and your shot can be really underexposed if you're too far away.

My other cameras are high end professionals (Nikon F1, Mamyia C33 and Mamyia RB), and never really got around to experimenting with cross processing and color gels, so I thought this camera would be appropriate for lo fi fun. After reading the reviews on here, it seemed like most complained about the cheapness of the camera, found it inoperable upon delivery, broke parts, etc. Folks, Im not sure what you were expecting, or know the other types of cameras that Lomo produces, but they are CHEAP TOY CAMERAS. They are not meant to be high quality photo wonders. They are meant to be simple, have light leaks, take weird, interesting photos and thats it. I was almost expecting a total piece of crap after reading the other reviews, but i was more than happy with the quality of this little camera. When held, it feels solid. The little winder does feel a bit cheap, but this is to be expected. The color gels are easy to change out (I can use my stubby fingernail to get the door off), but dont expect to be able to do it on the fly. It does take a small amount of tinkering. It came in a really unique packaging system that can be kept to store the camera and its documentation over and over, and is great if you travel alot or are moving. The unique 3 piece protective cover for the camera is an ugly teal and forest green concoction, but it fits the camera well and black vinyl spray paint from the auto parts store will fix that easily (the stuff lasts a lifetime). Im excited to see how the pictures turn out. Expect a fun to use and fun to look at camera to take with you on your daily excursions, and then upload them to the lomography.com website to share!

Strong (Dallas, TX) - (REAL NAME) Not related to the performance of the camera - mine arrived missing the lid - and it looked like it had previously been opened - however I bought it "new" of amazon. I was nonetheless excited and it looked like nothing (minus the lid) was missing so I set it up and got to shooting. I can't say if the film was tricky or not to load. Reason being is that I don't have much experience loading film so I can't make an accurate comparison. Pros: The three rolls I churned out right away came out really neat and fun. So it accomplishes what it claims, it takes good photos, I can't deny that. Cons: The colorwheel design. In my opinion it was as though the designers spent most of their design time and budget on the wheel idea and then rushed through everything else, resulting in a bad overall design. What the websites related to the colorsplash sheepishly WONT tell you is that not only do you NOT have 4 slots with which to load color gels, you only have two, with the two others permanent (a blue and yellow). Right away I felt like the online descriptions were very misleading regarding this and it is extremely limiting. It would be one thing if the gels were easily interchanged but they are not, requiring tweezers or some equivalent (not included, but reccomended in the manual), not feasible if you are out, especially at night. Plus if you wanted to have a default unfiltered flash, it means you would only get one color option in addition to the default blue and yellow - not that great in my opinion. I think that as camera that is billed as a simple camera with its main selling point being an outstanding flash device it fails horribly. If you don't really require the variety that the colorsplash falsely advertises, you should be fine. In addition to that, my camera broke withing the first 24 hours. The plastic part of the camera that the strap is connected to broke off, very easilly, considering I barely had the camera - but that could have been a unique defect, or maybe missing the lid it moved around in shipping cracking that part of the plastic - I will probably never know. Although the mechanism was unaffected (as far as I knew) I wasn't comfortable with any part of it breaking off in under 24 hours and returned the camera.
