I think the point of it, according to what I read, is that the useless toy is a test-bed on which Ricoh will develop a film SLR.
It’s interesting to note that a lot of young people into photography are curious about film and want to explore possibilities. My own son has acquired a film SLR, and also took an old Olympus XA-2 I gave him on holiday loaded with Fujifilm. It seems the retro logistics of film is catching on - who’da thunk it?!
