Summary: MUST HAVE IT
Review: At first I was not sure about this strange looking camera; but I could not believe my eyes when I saw my first pictures. It is incredible and a lot of fun! This amazing camera does not just take great pictures (it really does take 4 different pictures!) but it's a social magnet!! Don't get a dog, get a super sampler and you'll look at life differently and make tons of new friends!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It doesn't work!
Review: Bought this cute pearl colored camera with much excitement and was highly disappointed that no matter how gently I pulled its rip cord, my film would simply not advance! I looked carefully inside and it really seems to be a design flaw. The teeth that feed the film sprockets just do not feed it effectively! Don't waste your money!

Summary: Great Fun ----Read on,
Review: I was a little reluctant in ordering this camera [...].
You must have some knowledge of basic camera operation, and this cute thing will be a real treat. Loading the film will be complicated for those who are not use to winding and catching manualy, if you take your time, go slow and you'll get it. After two times its a piece of cake. The camera is design to capture movement, so if your pointing to somthing stationary you'll get four shots(on one print) of the same thing, so use this for movement and you'll be astonished. [....] I would not recommend this camera for those under 12, unless they are knowedgeable on the basics of how a camera works. Its not a toy. [....] A very creative concept, get it and have fun.

Summary: Junk
Review: Might be worth [less money]. A toy at best. Paint chipped off almost immediately. You'll go thru a lot of film trying to get this camera to work. Shabby craftsmanship.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: spectacular action shots
Review: Nothing but satisfaction and plenty of laughs in using this camera. It's easy to load, shoot and rewind, and the best thing is the focus is razor-sharp. I took over 90 frames over a weekend trip in the islands, and even in the shade (under a tree), the supersampler (mine is the limited edition orange Starfish) grabbed all the tree-swinging shots with no blurred frames. Otherwise, it has great clarity in the bright sunshine. Tested it out with 100, 200 and 400 film. Clarity was best of course, with nice saturated colour at 400, but the 100 and 200 were nothing to sneeze at either.

Only gripe is my hands are not fast enough - the ripcord action can be a bit of a nuisance if you've lost a shot by forgetting to pull it again after a quick snap. The camera changed between four people, and with a variety of poses, heights, with and without the funky viewfinder, managed to capture moments on film that would otherwise have been lost to still, posed photos. Things like water splashing, jumping, swinging all captured very easily even without the viewfinder, and from the hip (or belly).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lots of fun
Review: The Lomo SuperSampler is very funny. I did have problem in functioning it at the very beginning. But, after a few times, everything goes very smooth. And the pictures is very clear, as long as you take them outdoor.

Summary: Lomo Super Sampler
Review: This 4 imageLomo camera is a lot of fun. Four images lined up together on one negative make an interesting format. The 'look' of the camera made many people think I was pointing a squirt gun at them! The speed choices are nice but I found myself using only the longer speed. Of course, it is frustrating not to have a real view finderbut simply aiming the camera made for some intersting shots. Personally, I wish the images were divided along the horizontal plane (panoramic) rather than the vertical plane. ....The film advance system and the exposure of each individual lens is inconsistent. In my camera the first image is underexposed by about a 1/2 of a stop and I believe that the film advance gears have already broken contributing to the advance problem. (I have only had the camera for one month.) Overall I would say this is a very expensive plastic toy that does not work well. I like the images but wish the camera worked consistently.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 5 stars for fun but....
Review: This is a silly toy and will delight pros and amateurs and kids but...Be careful! These things are very fragile. Don't expect it to last long. Speaking from years of experience with toy cameras, including this one, here's a few tips.

Use 800 ASA. There's no flash.
It works best in bright daylight with the 800 ASA.
Other film speeds work but the higher the speed, the more consistent your results will be.
It probably leaks light. Try one roll of 12 exposures to find out. If it leaks, tape it up with duct tape when you use it.
If it lasts a year, you're lucky!

Have fun with it!
