Holga: Series Cancelled

I can't see people of wasting their money on a digital holga

Shoot, I just stumbled across it and didn't look at it all that closely. Sorry about that. At a glance, it looked to me like the money was raised and were shipping in January. Hope this did not cause any issues for anyone. I like Holga's and thought it was an oxymoron to have one in digital.

I don't get why they just didn't make both... same outer body design, unless they're losing money on the film versions. Found their FB page, this started in August so there are recent posts about the camera was supposed to be available in October and here it is December... so now they seem to have some unhappy customers.

For the price I'd think people might more likely just have gotten the Holga lenses for their digital cameras. I mean, Holgas are toy cameras, how expensive would someone want to go?

Or just use a free Instagram filter on their phones.

Ok I get the hint, I won't post in this forum anymore, I'm an idiot.

I once shot a roll with a friend's Holga, around 12 years ago or so.
Was a delighting experience;
I was into lomography that time, still have my regular lc-a. However, not shooting anymore with film... maybe have to shoot some rolls again

*nostalgic feelings coming up*

Can't see the point of a digital holga though...
Have some questions:
- holga had plastic lenses... why they put a glass one in the new one?
- shoots blurry photos, why a more expensive glass lens?
- with this big size, I better carry a dslr with me ?
- there are tons of postprocessing tools to make a holga effect on existing digital photos
