- Nitpick I guess. I feel none of the pics in that page is clicked using this camera.by newtwentysix
- Waitasec...wouldn't you have to hold it at a very specific distance from your eye for the "viewfinder" to be accurate?by monitron
- Transparent viewfinder cameras aren't anything new. If you've ever used a disposable camera in the past--congratulations, that is it.by 1-6
- Interesting choice to release a camera and show zero photos taken with it.by hebrides
- I literally cannot see the point to this thing. The transparent display is cool I guess. They don't state the camera specs on it though which seems odd for a camera.by King-Aaron
- Given how cheap this is, I feel like this makes for a great camera to give to a kid. The camera gets out of the way (no built-in games like a lot of kiddy cameras have) and the focus is placed on framing and taking photos, then reviewing later.
I'll probably pick one up just for my kids to experiment with.
by Daneel_ - Optical viewfinder cameras see through a lens and force-align your eyes, so when you change the lens, what you see is different but highly aligned to what the sensor sees.
Here, depending on where you place the thing you see a different thing than the sensor does, the optical path is completely uncontrolled, unless they're doing eye tracking and post processing?
This seems somehow worse than a cell phone camera.
