Don't Underestimate The Toycam

Toycam

Taking pictures with digital cameras are fun. By offering some convenience and practicality in exploring creativity in taking pictures with digital cameras more and more popular. With the rapid development of technology to make anyone can record a picture just by pressing the shutter button and click the results can be directly viewed. If it is not perfect can be deleted and repeat the process again from scratch. However, the perfection of digital camera technology was not always directly proportional to the desire some people who just love the limitations of toy cameras that are popular in Indonesia

Toycam are made of plastic material, that's why it named "toy camera". Prices in the market range from Rp 35.000 starting price up to a million and above, depending on the brand.

Unlike digital cameras that use memory cards, plastic cameras still use rolls of film for the storage media. To see the results we have to go through the process of washing and print (scan) first in the photo lab. Its size is usually 35mm film (as we usually see first) and 120mm. So who says the film is deceased, it age is still a long with the advent of the fans of this cute camera.

The price of a roll film is now varied, depending on brand and size. In the market for example the price of Fuji brand film for the ASA / ISO 200 the price is Rp 25.000. For the process of washing the film and scan cost in the range Rp 10.000-Rp 20.000.

So what attracted them to pursue this hobby? Imperfection of this camera, That is the most answer when I talked with the toycamera lover. Limitations of this camera is like a light that leaks often go when the shutter button is pressed can produce images turned out unexpected and certainly unique.
