Added Lomo LC-a Section May 29, 2010 at 8:36 pm

The new Lomo LC-A section, includes comments on the camera's batteries (important), specs and some pictures of mine.

One of the Spider's favorite cameras, the Lomo LC-A. Its an old plastic Russian film camera. People call it a rangefinder, but it doesn't have a rangefinder "finder", so it is really a point'n'shoot. In any case, it is still wonderful (and cheap).

The LC-A produces unique images and the camera itself encourages quick, informal shooting. I expect no more than one good shot per roll -- but I am generally surprised at how interesting that one shot is.

I think everyone should try the Lomo out at one time or another.

Well produced video providing very impressive examples of what this camera can do. This video opened my eyes to the future of waterproof cameras. No more of those silly camera cases! The spider wants one!

Panoramic Feature by Taylor Swift W/ Sony DSC-TX7 May 28, 2010 at 10:48 am

(Yes, I'm an old fashion Spider after all) Its a girl with fancy hair showing off the new pano option on the Sony point and shoot. Actually it is pretty cool. I'd rather tave this water proof to be honest, but this is a neat feature.
