Is It Film ... or a Camera?

By , About.com GuideApril 15, 2009

Follow me on:

I know this isn't a digital camera, but I thought it was interesting enough to mention. Korea's "10x10" Web site is now offering a film camera that's shaped like a 35mm film canister.

The "Transformer Camera" looks like a film canister, until you need to use it. You then open a couple of doors to insert the film and expose the lens, and the camera is ready to use. The Transformer Camera is only available in Korea for now, and it costs around U.S.$20.

It looks like it is difficult to hold, and I can't imagine the image quality is very good. It's likely a toy camera at best.

However, at least you'll never forget what type of film to place in this camera.
