TIM is a new $60 camera kit from Holga that – get this – shoots in 3D and half-frame without digital technology! Groovy, right? It includes a detachable flash with color filters and uses something called 35mm “film,” which seems to chemically recreate patterns of light and dark on something called “photo paper” when used with the proper “agents.” It was very popular at the turn of the century.

You can also take multiple exposures and twist TIM’s face to turn off various effects. Photojojo claims it’s like 10 cameras in one although I’ll believe it when it can shoot 1080i video.

The Holga is made of plastic and has very few focusing capabilities, which makes it perfect for artistes.
