This camera is adorable, fun and has now become my dress camera. There are drawbacks nonetheless there is no zoom or tripod shoe, no manual focusing or flash, no speed control or the other niceties that you get with other point and shoot digital cameras. Still this little doppleganger of the original (of which I have four) is a lot of fun and takes excellent pics that are square and applies itself to composition easily. Two drawbacks: You have to crank to release the shutter for every single picture and that slows it down to a point where you can miss shots; and there is no parallax correction because the top lens is a dummy. But I love it. As it is no longer manufactured they will soon become collector's items. If you cannot live without one, then buy this tiny marvel, you will not regret it. I have no buyer's remorse . . . you shouldn't either.
