The specs of this metal-and-vinyl square of art as as bad as you'd design of a camera from the dim days of the 1970s: the prearranged 116mm lens starts at a squint-inducing '8, and the fastest shiver speed is 1-175th/sec - you won't be sharpened action or low-light photos with this camera.
But then, this is a camera that never indispensable to be fast: you could have outlayed a day receiving a shot and you'd still have it back faster than the schmucks who had to obtain their drive-in theatre processed at the local drugstore.
And interjection to the Impossible Project, there is still movie existing is to camera, at $22 for 10 frames.
