Came across this weird looking camera called ‘Goldeneye’ in some online store and thought some of you might be interested to know (or buy?) it. Hardly can find much info about it online though. I guess it’s one of those plastic cameras that looks pretty cute (like the Golden Half) but this is not a half frame camera. From images, it looks pretty sleek with the gold & white theme eh?
The gold colored front ‘cover’ seems to flip open to reveal a flash and some cool looking ‘dials’ inside. Pretty cute idea but I wonder how the flipping flash/cover can stand regular usage. The ‘dials’ inside seems to be just some ‘deco’ stuffs with a speedometer looking one right in the middle. If my eyes ain’t that fuzzy … I think the one near the flash says ‘rpm’. Right?
From some online specifications, this camera has a 31mm lens, shoots at 1/125s, no mention of aperture and focuses from 1m to infinity. It operates on AA batteries which I guess is for the flash.
Haven’t seen any sample photos from this camera but online info says it takes ‘black corner’ photos. Huh? Must be something like that the Holga 135BC does … pretty fake vignetting eh?
Saw some local spree selling it for S$150. Expensive?
Would you buy one of these?
