A crude (certainly not fit and finished like a sleek, 1970's rangefinder)
little digital camera with a phone sensor, with which in order to change

I'd
stick to digital cameras and use a used film camera with actual film to
get
an "effect." In reality, it's like something you used to get free with a
"Time-Life" magazine subscription in the mid 1990's.

I have a feeling you posted the wrong URL. Was this the one you had in
mind?

that is one of the dumbest ideas i've seen in a very long time. what's
worse is that it's from an established company rather than a bunch of
hipsters who don't know any better.


I was going to say how are the mighty fallen. Like the Duck, I still
have my Electro 35cc which was in many ways the most useful film camera
I ever owned. I'm still using a ten year old small sensor digital (Ixus
850 IS) which is pretty much it's modern equivalent, when I just need a
pocket camera.

I got my Ixux 50 replaced, sorta with the 70 when a battery battery
failed. I always get myself at least two. As it turned out the cheapest
way to replace it was getting a used 70 and thus the 50 got retired! I
found the Xperia M4 to be the Pocket Instamatic replacement, but the EOS
M is with me often enough and that is the camera that I use the most.
The Ixus 70 takes great pictures for it's size though. It's even smaller
than your 850!
