Out of the Box: Superheadz Slim Camera

An out of the box look at the Superheadz Black Slim Devil. This camera is identical to all the Slim cameras, the only differences being the color of the camera.

I have another question sorry D:

Are all the superheadz ultra wide & slim cameras the same? it doesn't depend on the color they are right?

I mean, the pink one for example, takes good pictures just like the black evil one?

@ohbarbylicious The various cameras only differ in color, not their lens or operation, so yes, they all take the same kinds of photos.

Do you think this is a great camera to start taking photos with a film?

Do jelly lenses fit this camera?

@ohbarbylicious The camera lacks any controls, so you have to be aware of it's limitations, but other than that, I love shooting with this simple plastic camera with the extra wide angle lens. Go to flickr and see the images people make with their slim cameras, or the vivitar ultra wide and slim.

@ashleeLOVESmuse In comparison to other 35mm cameras, the images are a bit fuzzy and out of focus. It is, after all, a Lo-Fi camera. In comparison to other Lo-Fi cameras, it produces wonderfully fuzzy and slightly out of focus images. Its super wide angle lens makes exceptionally nice wide angle photos you won't get with most cameras.

@notebookscribbles, No, the lack of controls on the Slim Cameras means it can't do double exposures. For that capability, take a look at the Lomography La Sardina cameras. It has a similar super wide angle lens, as well as similar controls as the Holga 135 camera. It also has a special multiple exposure (mx) switch that allows it to take double exposures.

hi ! first of all, thanks for posting this kind of stuff, is very useful ! I would like to know your personal opinion, since you have both cameras: which one is better? Im not sure if wait and get the vivitar shipped from ebay, or buy the superheadz (cause its sold in my country). Are both kind of similar, or would you recommend me to buy the vivitar ultra wide&slim? The superheadz is reliable?

Thank you in advance !

So it's basically the same as a disposable camera, except that it's not disposable.

To get double exposures you can simply reload the role of film that has already been shot.

Hi, do you know if this camera is able to take double exposures? Many thanks :)
