I read this

and started thinking that perhaps there could be a market for a
digital camera like this:

- plactic body, a bit big
- black and white images only
- no EVF, only an OVF with plastic lenses
- plastic, fixed focal length and fixed focus lens (no AF)
- no LCD screen
- inbuilt software which adds (strong) vignetting, and simulates
a broken body where light from outside can randomly come in.
- camera is limited to 36 shots at ISO 400. But you have the
option to buy chip cards, which if inserted into the camera
allow you to take another 36 shots. These chip cards are a bit
bulky, the size of MF film cartridges, so that you won't carry
too many of them with you.
- to see the pictures you have to send these chip cards to a
company. The company processes these chip cards and sends you
back a CD with the pictures. But you have to wait a week.

That pretty much seems like a novelty camera which would very quickly lose any appeal it might have had long before you had exhausted the first 36 shots.

This is especially true since you can apply any number of light-leak, toy-camera, or “Holga” effects in post with existing cameras. All without having to wait a week to see what will probably be disappointing results, and then never use any such camera again.
