Holga
The Holga is a medium-format (6x6cm or 6x4.5cm, 120 film) plastic camera, somewhat similar to the beloved Diana. Holgas are still in production, and can be found relatively easily. There's a basic model as well as one with a hot shoe for flash photography--either an on-camera flash, or, with an adapter, you can connect studio strobes to the camera. Also, there are some mad geniuses that are making accessories for the Holga, including Polaroid backs, body color customizing, interior flocking, cable release connection, and more.
Faults/Strengths: Vignetting; blurriness and distortion especially at edges; ability to easily make double-exposures; choice of 6x6 or 6x4.5; light leaks.
