I bought this camera for snorkeling shots in The Bahamas.
Before I ever hit the water, the battery compartment lock broke in two. I managed to work around that problem.
The first roll of film didn't fully rewind.
On the third roll, the rewinder motor went haywire. End of story.
The underwater shots I did manage to get with it were pretty good. Above water, not so great.
I found the information sent with this camera long on art and short on helpful information.

I bought this one because I had a pleasant experience with the former Lomo Lubitel and the cheap yet precise Smena. This Frog Eye has nothing to do with the good old Lomo name: Perhaps the name switch to Lomography implies a change in quality as well. First surprise, the flash cannot be put off or forced in. Not too bad because anyway the camera went berserk at its first roll: the flash it's not working anymore after only some 20 shots! The display indicates costantly that batteries are low, and when I changed the triple A doublet not only didn't solve the problem, but the frame counter restarted from zero. To add to this 59 $ disappointment, the image quality of the photographs is quite average, which makes one dream of the many top of the line disposables available. Spend your money sensibly!

got at clearance from Nat'l Geographic - same problem with battery reading low, inconsistent flash and not being able to take more than 1 or 2 photos before everything just stopped. Returned it, looked for another but all the prices were higher. Think I'll look for another method.

I should have believed the reviews I read online!!! Since all of the reviews were atleast a couple of years old, I thought maybe the product had improved- I was wrong. I bought this camera as a gift for my husband and it broke the FIRST time he used it. The shutter button fell off on the way to his fishing trip. He never got to take one picture. Now I find out that there are no returns on this product- only exchanges. I do NOT reccomend this camera to anyone!!!!

After reading all the negative reviews I must have been lucky and got one of the good Frogeyes. I've run several rolls of film through mine without a problem. Lomos are not high quality cameras. They are cheap toy cameras. Even 4x6" prints don't look so great from this camera. It does have a nice wide lens and it can shoot underwater so you can have some fun with it taking it places you would never consider taking your good camera.

Excelente cámara, muy buen empaque, lindas fotos dentro, en, y fuera del agua.
Altamente recomendable
