Included in the Box: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) RANT: I took three rolls the first day I got the camera and I LOVE the way my pictures came out. Yes, it's not digital and yes, you have to wait for your pictures to be developed asp*, but we live in a world with too much instant gratification and a little patience will do us all some good. I had a couple that came out like "normal" shots and they're are kind of a nice surprise. Overall, they have a lot of character and getting them to be in focus is tougher than other cameras I've used (also have a RICOH from the 1950's and a Mercury from the 1920's - that thing is a BEAST to use) but that's really the whole point, isn't it? We live in an imperfect world and 20 megapixel, perfectly framed, focused and color-corrected photos don't really represent most of our lives. Live dangerously - go analog. REVIEW: The camera is made of tough plastic and *feels* like a toy. It's as much of one as you want it to be. Take it as seriously as you take yourself and you'll be fine. Loading film takes a little more patience and needs to be done SLOWLY to be sure the film advances correctly (see user pics above for a multi-exposure I accidentally took cause I didn't load the film right). It's small enough to fit in an inside pocket of a jacket - if you don't mind the pocket being a little bulgy. The lens cap is not attached to the body, so be attentive when taking it off. I thought I lost it twice in the first day. Am currently formulating a DIY solution to attach it to the body. Even though this is pictured with a flash IT DOES NOT COME WITH A FLASH. I was a little disappointed by this (should've read the description closer), but taking a few rolls w/no flash will give you the chance to understand how it exposes images. There are only two f-stops - Sunny & Cloudy. There are also 2 shutter settings - N & B. I don't know what the letters stand for, but N is automatic, B stays open as long as you hold the trigger. The shutter speed switch is easily bumped, so I've started checking it every time I'm taking a shot to be sure I know what position it's in. It comes with a nifty book of photo missions, gallery pics, and instructions. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. They really do help. It was late in evening and I didn't have any film when I first got it so I couldn't play with it right out of the box; instead I read the instructions. I was glad I did. My first few rolls would've probably been trash otherwise. If you are still unsure whether or not this is for you go to [...] and read up more. Their playful site is very informative and full of user pics. Overall, the Diana Mini is a unique camera to use for people who are tired of using their phone for point-and-shoot "fun" photos. It will change the way you think about every day photography.
