Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lomographic Action Sampler 35MM Camera (Chrome)
Customer Review: Fun to use but don't expect professional results.
Summary: 4 Stars
My friend bought this and gave it to me before she moved so I was only going to be out $10 to shoot off a roll. I am impressed. I got some really good pics with it, but just as many came out god awful and totally useless. Then again most rolls of film you shoot come out that way.
The quality is usually junk, at least one frame is blurred, but that is artsy and underground like their marketing campaign states. I dig it. With time you will find out what subjects work the best. It is really good for people at a distance of 10 feet or less. Because of the cheap lenses and set shutter speed, real busy moving objects are a big blur (I tried taking a few shots of a moving merry-go-round), however when it is just a few objects (say a horse race) the results can be really cool.
In the end if you are looking for a fun camera at parties and for random snapshots, buy this (or try the one with the flash) instead of a crappy disposable thing.
Oh and as their marketing says, warn the person at the photolab. The girl that developed mine was completely confused.
Description of Lomographic Action Sampler 35MM Camera (Chrome)
The Action Sampler takes a great idea and turns it into a fun little camera. This camera uses four lenses to capture four different photos on one frame of film. The Action Sampler takes the photos a fraction of a second apart, creating an "action sample" that shows the sequence of motion. (Click on the "More Pictures" link at the top of this page to see sample photos that were taken with the Action Sampler.)Brought to you by the same folks who produce the famous Lomo camera, the Action Sampler shares the Lomo's wacky, creative image--as evidenced in the glossy, photo-filled little manual that comes with the camera and is a work of art in itself. The Action Sampler is also a study in styling with its colorful, plastic see-through case. It doesn't have a flash and sports only a flip-up square of pink plastic to frame your photos. Everything is manual, including film loading, winding, and rewinding, and there are no settings to fiddle with.
As the manual blithely states, "The Action Sampler is not a finely tuned piece of apparatus made only of the finest in hand-crafted modern materials. It's made of plastic." In short, this means you shouldn't expect sharp, detailed pictures. However, you can expect truly unique, fun, and often striking sequences of photos. The Action Sampler uses normal 35mm film but needs plenty of light (outdoor photos turn out the best), so if you want to use it indoors, we recommend using a higher-speed film (ISO 400 or higher).
The Action Sampler is a blast to use, and it makes a great gift. While it has its limitations, its distinctive way of seeing the world is fun and exciting. --Holly Blumenthal
