Yeah there are shitloads of cameras to choose from if you're looking for a film camera, I would back up bigmuff's olympus reccomendation, but I've never used the lomo cameras- if you are going to spend money it's worth getting a camera with a decent lens, it just makes sense!

The Diana or Holga cameras are capable of taking beautiful images. They are only tools. In the hands of someone with vision, they are capable of creating works of art. Check out the images made by these photographers working with plastic cameras:

The last link is my own.

If you are thinking about giving it a try, get a Holga. They are sold for about $25US.

umm i'm just bumping this to say i bought one of these today and it is really exciting.

did you ever get one, kasmim?

not to be flippant about money or anything. because god knows it doesnt grow on trees. but $25 is a low enough amount to take risks with a camera like this. especially when the pay off could be so cool, you know?

i bought one for a friend. im excited about the outcome.
