Come on Martin. You very well know your post is a bit OTT! As a professional you also know that this is hardly the cutting edge nor what people are using professionally at all. This is simply a bit of fun…something photography should always be. There is a reason why people are buying iPhone photography apps like crazy as people are getting huge enjoyment out of screwing with their photos. This is what this camera is like. Personally I couldn’t care less what cameras people filmed with or shot photos with as long as they are using cameras! Anyway love your work, take care. Philip

Oh Dear… is this what photography has evolved into. I have a serious mind to go back to my earlier trade as a pimp – money was good and the people were more black and honest.

I noticed in the shot of yourself that you are using a monopod stabilizer? Did you make this from a gymbal system or purchase?

Oops, sorry for the late reply. I guess its not available outside Japan. If you’re ever here try walking into a Loft/bookstore etc. They do have special Toy camera sections. A visit to Akihabara, the electric town of tokyo would be nice too!

If you’re not gonna be here anytime soon, Maybe, I could get you one? Either ship it, or I’ll be moving to LA by August this year. Let me know. (Mail if possible. I came back just because of the spike in replay count of my video! )

Right, shot some footage on the Harinezumi 2. Think it came out okay. Would love to know your thoughts Philip. I prefer the look of the version 1, but think with the right conditions, you can more or less get a similar experience. And the black and white is really nice:

Was really wanting this first time i saw it (in Magma book store, for those who would like another alternate shop to buy from). Was the version 1. Checked out footage all looked great! but couldn’t afford it then. Got the version 2 now, just waiting on it to arrive, only to now hear from you all that it’s not as nice image quality as the first!!!! Feel gutted as i specifically wanted that super 8 feel
but should be fun regardless I suspect. will post some footage soon as
