There’s no stopping them! While we are trying hard to save our hard-earned money for some better purposes … here comes more ‘toys’ to make you reach for the hammer and creep towards the piggy bank.
This seems to be a ‘Rip Curl Fisheye2’ but info about it ain’t available yet in Lomography’s website. It isn’t available in their online store (yet) as I’m typing this. Now it seems every camera is getting the candy-colored makeover eh?
Came across this photo above in Facebook and I think they are suppose to be the new (yet to be announced) version of the FDC01 keychain digital camera. I may be wrong though. Hahaha! It has some cosmetic ‘overhaul’, a weird ‘viewfinder’ (??!!) or is it some jelly lens to be attached to the lens, a little ‘mirror’ in front that is maybe for cam whoring sessions … but I’ve no idea what is ‘in it’ yet. If this is the FDC01X (supposedly the name of the new model), I certainly hope they’ve fixed the crazy shutter lag problem. 😀 Not sure how true it is … but I read that there will be 4 new photo modes and white borders (instant film effect?).
em.. the FDC01x looks great, the fisheye.. gonna pass..
@Mijonju : Hahaha! I know you ain’t into these candy-colored stuffs. Right? The FDC01X … well we’ve yet to know if the darn lag is till there.
I need to get one of those FDC01 cameras. If the new one fixes the lag, I just may. Now to find a cheap way to get it to the US.
@tylercorc : Shipping for these lil ones shouldn’t cost much to US, right?
So, those are the FDC01 X:Version. From what I gather, it comes with a yellow mode and a bimo mode, aside from the previous noise and vivid. Anybody has other info about what other modes are in there? Btw, that viewfinder sure is not adding anything to the FD’s looks. (=
@killyrbf : What is a bimo mode? Bimbo mode? 😀 I’m also curious what other modes and stuffs this new one gonna have.
On the website 8 storey tree, they ship FDC01’s………….
Only in 2 specific countries…..and what makes it worse, the small cameras are discontinued.
@29-S25 : Yes. I was told that they are the authorized sellers for only Singapore and Malaysia …. thus they can’t send the cammies to other places … unless you can get someone to buy it here and send it to you (if you are not from these 2 countries).
@ndroo: I also do not know what BIMO mode means. (= I just got that off the tags in the sample pictures. Anyway, the BIMO shots have a chromey violet tint in them. Plus, the pictures, all modes, do seem to have that white border you mentioned.
@killyrbf : Hmm. Thanks for the info.
