holga d

This minimal camera is not for sale and might not ever be. It was designed by Saikat Biswas, inspired by the vintage Holgas. It features an intentional lack of features; a departure from the digital trend. The camera is digital, there is an SD card that needs to be inserted near the batteries. Just like in the good ol' days, you have to wait to see what your pictures will look like, creating a "delayed gratification". The camera has a 12mega-pixel sensor, which is also out dated. I like how it displays the "remaining frames" as if it was a film camera, nice touch. Also, the fact that the display is e-ink will keep power consumption at a minimum. You can choose the aspect ratio, shutter speed and ISO . There is a slot for accessories like flash and a viewfinder, which is something I see gradually disappearing in cameras. I would mush rather use a viewfinder than a display, and it would have been something I would have liked to see here. Otherwise, you're just shooting blindly which seems kind of pointless. I think this is a slight case of form over function. Still, I want one. link

the impossible project

The Impossible Project is a company that restores vintage cameras to their original condition, so they would be the same as they would be if you bought it new, back in the day. My favorite is shown above, the Polariod SX70 Original ($332). They are always out of stock though, and the prices start at well over $150. Link

fujifilm gf670

This amazing camera uses regular old film to take pictures. It comes with a Fujinon EBC 80mm lens, a rangefinder, and exposure compensator.

Thank you, Iain Claridge

It's about time someone created this. Now you won't have to use trial-and-error when trying to take pictures of yourself. I know someone who would use this, and I'm sure you do too. Link: $300

pentax optio l10

This awesome new camera from Pentax has retro styling, 12.1 megapixels, 720p 30 fps video recording, optical 5x zoom, and anti-shake technology. It also has a viewfinder, something most digital cameras don't have-- which I love. Link: $300
