Amusing in one way, sad in another. It is easy for us, who put so much effort
into improving our photography to look at the people who would use such a
camera, or a cell phone camera, instagram, a Holga etc. as wankers. But,
really, that's a pretty snobbish and condescending attitude. I'm willing to
bet that they get as much fun, and probably a lot less frustration, out of
their photography. Likewise, their audience probably gets as much enjoyment
out of their photos, as your audience gets from yours.
There's also a good chance that if you hung one of their photos and one of our
photos up on the wall of a coffee shop, their photo would get as much interest
as one of ours.

It's a great-looking and intriguing camera, obviously not geared toward
me. But, depending on how its performance pans out, I could see me
recommending it to a friend who might be looking for something along
those lines.
But, what strikes me as odd is that the market segment it seems to be
geared toward doesn't seem to call for such prominent placement of an
exposure compensation dial.
Is it just me?
