.com The Lomographic SuperSampler pearl camera is a truly original and exciting addition to the world of Lomography. Something of an improvement over the ActionSampler and CyberSampler 2.0, the SuperSampler uses a unique pull-cord film advance mechanism and incorporates four lenses in a panoramic format to capture four shots per frame, each just a fraction of a second apart. The end result is four long images stacked on top of each other that show the sequence of motion. This gives you something akin to panoramic "movie stills" that can even be scanned and animated into a miniature four-frame movie on your computer. Brought to you by the same Lomographic Society folks who introduced the free world to the famed Lomo Kompakt Automat camera, the SuperSampler shares the original Lomo's wacky, creative image--as evidenced in the colorful, photo-filled booklet that comes with the camera. The SuperSampler is also a study in styling with its unique pull-string design and iridescent pearl color. It doesn't have a flash and sports only a small removable square to frame your photos. "Shoot from the hip," is the driving philosophy behind the Lomographic Society. Everything with this camera is manual, including film loading, winding, and rewinding. The lens is fixed focus. However, the SuperSampler does offer two speeds--standard and high speed (four photos in two seconds in standard mode; four photos in 0.2 seconds in high-speed mode). And although this multiple image format works best for action shots, it can turn any subject into a creative, interesting slice of life. Since there is no built-in flash, the best results occur under bright lighting conditions. It comes with a six-month warranty--Lomo will replace the camera free of charge if anything goes wrong with it during that time period. Included in the box are the camera, a SuperSampler booklet, and one roll of 24-exposure ASA 200 35mm film.

Less Horror
I like this one a lot more than I like the other Lomo. I have yet to see this type on clearance so I don't feel really bad about this impulse purchase. It has a rip cord so you can advance the film without injuring your thumb but on a recent trip to New Orleans, I got about 10 photos off a 24 exposure roll. Thats not good when I'm paying for 800 speed film (and not to mention that most film give you three extra exposures). I like the size of the frames and it looks better than the other Lomo. It shows off action shots a lot better and looks nicer too. But much more importantly, I didn't have to put on a band-aid.

DUMB.
This is NOT a supersampler camera. This is fritz the blitz adapter kit. Piece of S*** if what you want to do is take pictures. DUMB.

it's so cool
First I was very sceptic about it and didn't believe it would work. But it did! The pictures you get with that camera are a real hit. Definitely I found my way back to phtography with this amazing surprise. All you need ist daylight the rest just happens.Real cool stuff, therefore 5 Stars for the SuperSampler

Supersampler FUN
While it takes some practice to capture your "style" with this camera, it is well worth the time...I am a professional photographer and because of my constant need for high quality often forget the good old fun of photography...this has brought it back!

Fun in the Sun
An excellent camera for crazy action photos. The 4 panoramic lenses are sharp, and the rip-cord advance is really fast! Totally unique. Be warned though - it really needs bright sunlight to do its job.
