The Holga rocks, hands down, and is cheap. but getting color medium format film developed (u can do BW yourself) is heavy on the wallet!!!!!!!!!!(unless you want to send your film away to to mailorder darkrooms :\) Because of this it gets hard because the digital age has given us the luxury of shooting whatever we want without thinking about film conservation. Medium Format has to be developed in a darkroom by hand, can;t be put through a 35mm machine. In the end, the holga is tons of fun, but u should get a darkroom membership and learn how to develop color pics yourself if your gonna use it a lot, medium format creates awesome pics tho. For the ending price including buying film and developing you could justify buying one of those awesome CMOS DSLRs tho :)

You left out the Polaroid back available for the Holga! and it's ONLY 5x the price of the camera. :-D

My sister had one of the ZX81's, the blasted thing would go crazy from the weak EMP generated when the neighbor across the street would start his car. Heaven forbid if someone in the house should flip a lightswitch when this beast was in use. I wouldn't waste my $$$ on this item.
