Lomography Camera - Product Review

There are many type of lomography camera in Malaysia, we have Holga, Diana and cheap toy camera from Korea. Recently I bought a digital lomography camera called “Minimo” and I’m happy with the result. For those going into lomography especially my students or Freakers there are 2 suggestion what kind of camera that can be used for lomography, basic Holga 135BC and Minimo (digital lomo).Digital lomography camera suitable for the beginner because it was simple and very handy without devoloping any film, just slot in the usb into your pc and...walla...you got what you want.....
