Now this is something I would really like to see become a reality. A digital Holga. Yes, digital; but not the "camera-does-everything-for-you" kinda digital.A Holga with a digital sensor, but pretty much everything else done Lo-Fi.
Right now it's in the concept stage, so don't go running to your favorite camera store and ask to get a demo. Engineer Saikat Biswas has seen an amazing response from interested folks ever since he went online with his take on what a digital Holga would look like, what it would do, and most importantly, what it wouldn't do.
Judging from the images, and the list of features, it definitely sounds very promising. And making it an open-source camera platform? Just think. It's just incredible what can be accomplished when a bunch of people pitch in and churn out something that's pretty much amazing. Linux anyone?
Now imagine the same thing, but the end result is a camera system. The possibilities are endless.
Check it out for yourself.
