a niche item for those who want it. you already listed the purpose. its like seeing a shoe and asking "aside from walking and comfort, ano purpose neto?"

dont get me wrong, the quality is nothing to write home about. i already have a professional mirrorless cam, and i wont be buying this. but its there for people who want it i guess, even though it takes subpar photos.

Vanity milking is back lol. 10k+ for such a badly specd portable camera where most people's even lower end phones have better results and dumbphones that cost over 5k. What a time to be alive. Endstage capitalism is in the horizon guys!!

Haha. Kahit yong sa kodak nalang or yong sa SM pero basura battery life nun. In this economy? 10k for something you can so with your phone is wild.

It's a free market. Companies build these because they know, some sucker customer is going to buy it anyway.

I bet there'd be dupes less than 5% of the price by the end of the year

This is a gimmicky device like the pal 1 and kodak charmera. The mid level android phone that you already own right now will take far better quality pictures. These companies are banking on the stupidity and vapidness of this god-forsaken “influencer era”. You want to level up your photography arsenal? Study the basics of proper composition, lighting, etc. Once you have enough funds, then invest in a larger sensor mirrorless camera.

Primarily as a collection but in the hands of someone passionate sa photography can still pull off decent shots with it.

For its price, i'd rather get a super old dslr with inter changeable lens just for manual mode.
