Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Red Oktomat Camera

July 20, 2007

The fun functionality of the Oktomat Camera by Lomo cannot be ignored: It has eight small lenses that "fire and turn" in 2.5 seconds, creating a multi-frame mini photo vignette. And while it's only $35, one has to wonder if the camera is a little too chunky in this era of super slim cameras. Does the camera's shape and noisy design overshadow its purpose, or do you think it's appropriate that it's a little bulky? After all, it is taking eight photos at once!

I LOVE LOMO CAMERAS. I have the Fisheye myself. The Oktomat is awesome if you know where to use it.

I tried one like this and it didn't really work. Just a forewarning.

Clever idea. Especially for the price. It's also a refreshing change from everything having to be all sleek and metallic.

I would love to take pictures with this and see how they come out. It's not the most beautiful or thoughtful design but maybe the end product justifies the clunkiness. And it gets props for the red color too.

It's a fun idea and i'm sure the pictures would be cute...but the design just doesn't say chic to me....I guess I'd use it a few times for fun but then i'd so be over it!
