Editorial Review: Product Description: This is the one and only incredible four-lens-photo ActionSampler. With one shot you get a series of four images on one print and a macro-movie to be relished online! It is robust and ultra-heated, the ideal gift. Amazon.com Review: The Action Sampler takes a great idea and turns it into a fun little camera. This camera uses four lenses to capture four different photos on one frame of film. The Action Sampler takes the photos a fraction of a second apart, creating an "action sample" that shows the sequence of motion. (Click on the "More Pictures" link at the top of this page to see sample photos that were taken with the Action Sampler.) Brought to you by the same folks who produce the famous Lomo camera, the Action Sampler shares the Lomo's wacky, creative image--as evidenced in the glossy, photo-filled little manual that comes with the camera and is a work of art in itself. The Action Sampler is also a study in styling with its colorful, plastic see-through case. It doesn't have a flash and sports only a flip-up square of pink plastic to frame your photos. Everything is manual, including film loading, winding, and rewinding, and there are no settings to fiddle with. As the manual blithely states, "The Action Sampler is not a finely tuned piece of apparatus made only of the finest in hand-crafted modern materials. It's made of plastic." In short, this means you shouldn't expect sharp, detailed pictures. However, you can expect truly unique, fun, and often striking sequences of photos. The Action Sampler uses normal 35mm film but needs plenty of light (outdoor photos turn out the best), so if you want to use it indoors, we recommend using a higher-speed film (ISO 400 or higher). The Action Sampler is a blast to use, and it makes a great gift. While it has its limitations, its distinctive way of seeing the world is fun and exciting. --Holly Blumenthal Pros:

 Rating:  - Nice idea, but not worth itI thought this camera looked like a fun idea worth giving a try. It's definitely not worth it. It came with a roll of film that I used in all kinds of settings to see what the camera is good at: indoor, outdoor, near, far, etc. Not a single frame came out in focus. And one of the four lenses always had a very strong yellow tint to it, so even if the shots had been reasonably in focus, I still would not have wanted to keep any of them. I threw the camera away after one use because it wasn't worth ... Read More Rating:  - I finally gave it away...I purchased this camera along with supersampler at the same time. Both with 4 lens camera, the picture quality on action sampler turned out so poor that I only played with it for one roll of film, then put it back to the box, and finally, gave to my friend(cuz she wanted a toy camera)...well...it does have a fun outlook, but if you really wanna enjoy a 4 lens camera, I would suggest to buy a supersampler, at least the quality is better. Rating:  - A great little cameraThis camera is just fun. There are websites that will provide you with some fun ideas with it. We took it outside and tossed it to each other once we pressed the button. We also just walked with it and aimed it at our feet. The kids who are ages 5 and under when we bought it played with this and didn't break it so it was sturdier than it might seem. It is easy to use and fun. The only comment I'd make is that it goes fast. Once you push the button you don't have time to blink ... Read More Rating: - 5 fun starsThe camera is a great novelty item. If you are looking for some fun, unfocused, pictures in the outdoors...this is your camera! Rating:  - Cool - but trade up for the Actionsampler FlashI picked up an Actionsampler when it first came out in 2000 or so. As everyone says, and the Amazon review confirms, the shots are lo-fi and junky. It's fun if you're into that look, and it does its job well in bright sunlight. In my humble opinion, you should spend the extra scheckels and trade up to the Actionsampler Flash. It has better lenses, better exposure, and a fierce 4-step sequential flash. With that, you can "sample the action" at any time, day or night. |
