Rating: Summary: Haha, how stupid is this? Review: Can't believe people actually pay for this kind of crap.
Rating: Summary: Cheap and Cheerful Review: I agree with the other reviewer who said this was a cheap little plastic camera. It is, but the photos were great quality, crisp, clear images and vivid color; just as good as you'd get with a "regular" camera. Immediately, I started taking all kinds of artsy-fartsy pictures, wondering how they'd look once they were developed. My pictures came out almost looking like postcards. I got the best results taking close-up shots of things. I'd also reccomend taking pictures of neon signs. I did the Radio City marquee. Very cool.I only give this product 4 stars, because I dropped it on the ground, and it half opened up. None of the film was compromised, and the AA battery they sent with the camera was dead.

Rating: Summary: It really works Review: I just opened my new Pop 9 and was a bit surprised. It's made of cheap gold plastic- REALLY cheap. The "lens cap" has a tiny plastic handle to pry it off- it's already almost broken off. The film is a little tricky to engage too. However, I just got back my first set of prints, and they're great! Not a blurry shot in the bunch, no matter how close up I took the photo. The view finder is off-kilter, but after one roll you can pretty much see how to adapt. I love it! Fun fun fun. I can't wait to take more shots. There are so many possibilities with this camera!

Rating: Summary: Broken Review: I opened the package to find a cheaply-made camera. All my disposable cameras look better than this. I can't comment on the picture quality because the camera would not advance the film - the advance wheel is stuck, and the button to free the wheel is stuck also. A piece of junk I'm returning it back to Amazon today.
Rating: Summary: Pop Ya Collar Review: I picked up a Pop 9 to add to my LOMO collection. Cheap or not, the lens quality is great. Colors and sharpness are right on, and you can get REALLY close to your subject.
As everyone else said - it's a cheap, fun, and flashy item. The gold finish is gaudy and a fun conversation piece. You'll be the focus of attention with this thing in your hand. The viewfinder is basically useless, so just aim the camera as best you can and experiment. Every time you have prints made, it's a surprise. Even the most mundane objects can look really artsy with the Pop 9's format.
Can you take 9 shots with a regular camera or layout a nine-frame, repeating image in Photoshop? Sure. But that's not the point. It's all about having fun, snapping some shots on film, not knowing EXACTLY what you're shooting, and getting back an envelope of nice surprises from the lab.
Rating: Summary: Art? Review: I think this camera was more or less invented for the use of art for those who don't have a computer for imaging. A little expensive for the quality, but none-the-less great pictures can be blown up and used as decortive accessories for your naked walls. I give this 5 stars based on a great idea for someone with no digital camera, computer, software for computer, or a decent printer.
Rating: Summary: Why? Review: My imagination must be broken and I have asked several people so theirs must be broken, too. Why would anyone want a camera that takes 9 images of exactly the same thing? If you want 9 prints, just have 9 prints made. If you have a digital camera, as I do, just print 9 copies on the same piece of photo paper. Please feel free to educate me as I am totally baffled.
