not if you block ads. i didn't see a commercial at all. the video
started right away. otherwise, a nice overview.

But a DSLR with a 24mm lens gise you a much better image. There is no
comparison.<//end sarcasm tag>

I know they are constrained by lack of advertising to limit printed
article space, but videos kept so brief they show you almost nothing?
What was that??!

This if it is the same one publicised in the UK is a cardboard pinhole
camera with medium format film.

Images taken in bright (e.g. sun) light are OK, mainly because of the film
resolution, but it is a silly gimmick because it has a fixed field of view
and users have to mess with tricky medium format film.

Not much of a niche left for proper larger format cameras, let alone a toy
one...
