This Camera Amazing & Cheap
This Camera is Amazing & Cheap. Just a few comments about its packaging, i love to see some improved package on this with some colorful booklet and manuals. The rest is fine, the camera itself, Holga delivers dreamy Lomo Image.
Will change the way you take pictures 
God I love this camera. It's ugly, cheaply made, and completely unpredictable, but for an amateur like me, just realizing the joys of photography, it was exactly what I needed. Like other reviewers here, I too had gotten a bit bored with my mid-range digital camera, and invested the low, low fee of ~$60 in this little creature. I had read it could be frustrating and disappointing, but I have experienced neither emotion since becoming its owner. I have almost entirely stopped using my digital, and a 35mm SLR that is also a great camera... this one is just so much more fun.
The only drawback is the price and inconvenience of film/development. Try to buy in bulk, and get film developed only - not printed. It'll only cost about $2-3 a roll, and you can then scan the negatives (another investment, but if you see film in your future...) or print them yourself. But honestly, it's worth it. I'm so excited every time I get a roll back from the developers I can hardly wait, and I'm seldom disappointed. If you can appreciate the strange, beautiful way the Holga views the world, and not expect it to produce high fidelity images, you can't go wrong.
LOVE IT
This camera is definitely a one-of-a-kind! I have loved every shot taken with the Holga, although sometimes I forget to secure the backing on with tape so my pictures become ruined (I easily drop things). However, this camera is extremely durable considering the amount of times I have accidentally sent it crashing to the ground! The film is expired, which makes it a little on the expensive side to order/ship/print and only one camera shop within a 20 mile radius of me develops such film. Getting a roll of 12 shots developed usually costs me about $9, sometimes even $13. I recently made my own 35mm converter for the Holga (a lot more convenient and inexpensive than 120mm) and the shots are AMAZING. The character this camera has (pictures and camera itself) is remarkable and definitely worth every penny!
Lots of fun! 
This camera is a lot of fun. It's nice to actually use real film, wait to develop it, and have those nice saturated beautiful medium format shots. It can be kind of tough to find places to develop this type of film, and it can be expensive! I'd suggest learning to develop it yourself if you can...
Such a fun camera!
This particular Holga comes with a colored filter wheel for the flash which is a ton of fun. It's very lightweight and small so it's easy to carry it around everywhere you go. Highly recommend for people into photography as an extra camera for fun.
