Has anyone heard of the Rolleiflex MiniDigi digital camera? It is a miniature replica of a Rollei twin lens reflex film camera from the 1920s! It has a top down viewfinder and a crank on the side to advance to the next photo! It is 5 megapixels. It is definitely a toy camera, and not a serious professional grade camera. But toy cameras can be really great for artistic photography! Just look at the Holga!
I really want one, but it's a bit pricey! It costs around $300. I may get one in the future, but for now my money will be going towards more professional lenses and equipment. Toys will have to wait for later.
What do you think of this camera?

gee that is a tiny camera, so good to just carry around with you, I have a rather small digital camera I carry with me all the time but i have just gone the other way and bought a DSLR camera with and extra 200m lens so i I have gone bigger but it is good to have a little one to carry around all the time..

I have big DSLRs and small point and shoot cameras. I like this specific camera because it makes square shaped photos! And I also like the viewfinder on top. I do wish it was larger, but the small size is pretty cute!

Love the look, but wouldn't bother to buy one: RRP $399 and it only gets to 5MP by interpolation (it has a 3MP CMOS sensor). Apart from that, it is so tiny... I'd buy one if it was the size of a real TLR, maybe...
Then again, I could buy the real thing for $400 on Ebay; or $2000 from a second-hand dealer. Then I'd need roll film, a projector, dark room..... Maybe not!!
