This was an impulse buy because it sounded so cool... I didn't really read enough about it beforehand and whatever my hopes were, I think at first they were too high. In fact, before figuring out what quirks I was working with, I was pretty pissed. I do love novelties, and that's what this is. The shutter sounds are loud for sure and it is definitely cheap and bulky with fragile controls. The first roll of film jammed somehow then I thought my advance lever was broken (sometimes it would shoot more pictures if I moved the lever just a millimeter too far) but it just needed attention paid to gentle handling. It has however stood up to being tossed around inside my bag, hiking, and being dropped. Since there is no flash or hotshoe, pictures really should be taken outside on a sunny day; with pretty marginal results indoor even with lighting. The pictures are definitely full of "lo-fi" charm. Often, the two shots on the sides (four total) are blurred red and the lines between shots can be quite prominent. My main frustration was actually finding someone to develop these correctly without chopping up the shots, because no matter how fuzzy or random, seeing them in their little equal frames is fun. Overall it is an amusing, cute, attention-getting toy with occasionally fun results; but totally not worth the money.

This is my second purchase from the "toy camera" line and I must say - it's tons of fun, especially if you follow the lomographer's mantra and shoot from the hip. The Oktomat is a tough little camera -it bangs around in my purse everyday just in case I happen upon something interesting to photograph (or something uninteresting that I can photograph in an interesting way). I love the occasional light leaks and the slight dreamy blur of all the photos. This camera is not for the perfectionist - it's for the experimental crowd. And I agree with some other reviewers - the best photos are of moving objects.
Notes: The eight consecutive clacks really sound more like a grind, don't let this worry you. And there is a small black piece on the top of the camera - the film advance leaver should stay to the back of this, you may have to pop it back into place once in a while. All part of the low tech fun!

Other than being a little wary of its toy-like plastic and the lack of flash, I have no complaints about this camera. I highly recommend it to anyone who is into experimentation and is willing to try different things. I've had results ranging from "What on earth is that burry mess repeated 8 times?" to beautiful scenes I never expected to come out of this ugly red brick.
