Amazon.com Review
The Action Sampler takes a great idea and turns it into a fun little camera. This camera uses four lenses to capture four different photos on one frame of film. The Action Sampler takes the photos a fraction of a second apart, creating an "action sample" that shows the sequence of motion. (Click on the "More Pictures" link at the top of this page to see sample photos that were taken with the Action Sampler.)Brought to you by the same folks who produce the famous Lomo camera, the Action Sampler shares the Lomo's wacky, creative image--as evidenced in the glossy, photo-filled little manual that comes with the camera and is a work of art in itself. The Action Sampler is also a study in styling with its colorful, plastic see-through case. It doesn't have a flash and sports only a flip-up square of pink plastic to frame your photos. Everything is manual, including film loading, winding, and rewinding, and there are no settings to fiddle with. As the manual blithely states, "The Action Sampler is not a finely tuned piece of apparatus made only of the finest in hand-crafted modern materials. It's made of plastic." In short, this means you shouldn't expect sharp, detailed pictures. However, you can expect truly unique, fun, and often striking sequences of photos. The Action Sampler uses normal 35mm film but needs plenty of light (outdoor photos turn out the best), so if you want to use it indoors, we recommend using a higher-speed film (ISO 400 or higher). The Action Sampler is a blast to use, and it makes a great gift. While it has its limitations, its distinctive way of seeing the world is fun and exciting. --Holly Blumenthal Pros:
- Captures action with four photos on one frame
- Easy to use
- Colorful, unique styling
- Uses normal 35mm film (2 rolls included)
Cons:
- Cheaply constructed
- Needs lots of light
- Relatively low-quality pictures

 Not what I expected. November 9, 2006

The camara supposed to take 4 different shots, that never happenned, a slight change you could see in pictures I took running while pressing the shot.
The frames are also cut by a bold marging that is really annoying.
 So much fun! June 23, 2005

This is the first Lomo Camera I had purchased, after I learned about Lomography. What a fun camera-this is what got me addicted! I take it with me everywhere now-you never know when you will need it!
Badly made rubbish May 6, 2005

When I bought one of these I knew that it was a plastic toy type camera, but I was suprised at exactley how plasticy and cheap it was, especially for its not cheap price.
I tried one roll of film in it - the results were so bad, the lab didn't bother printing it and just gave me the negs and a contact print; the last lens in sequence jammed open and the film transport was so terrible that everything overlapped resulting in mostly nothing on the negatives. I took it back to where I got it for a full refund.
Yes I expected blur, I expected vignetting, I expected suprises. What I did not expect was such terrible build quality and results.
This camera is a nice idea, if they were actually made well, it would be great - but it is mass produced plastic junk. Buying one is a lottery - you may be lucky, you might not. I'm sad to say, don't waste your money.
 don't think, just shoot December 25, 2002

i love this camera. granted, when i first got it i had problems with it. but it's just so different that i had to adjust to it. it's not supposed to give you wonderfully clear and crisp photos. that's part of the fun. this camera allows you to capture your own little world in ways that perhaps you hadn't seen before. shooting from the hip, so to speak, is the best way to use this camera. the only downfall is getting used to loading film manually and then rewinding it when you're pretty sure it's done. it's more for fun and experimentation so if you're not into that then don't get this. but if you want every roll of film you develop to be a surprise, then get it! :)

...ignore the directions and get 800 speed film and only take pictures outdoors (on BRIGHT AND SUNNY days, and at HIGH NOON). Since its not very well made, you have to be very careful. And it hurts your thumbs to advance the film to the next frame. I like the supersampler better.
