Mr Digital Clover, or Digi Clover San, is a tiny 2.0-megapixel piece of plastic junk. He will be your new best friend. Clover San is a camera small enough to string on a keychain ( 1.5 x 2.4 x 0.8-inches) and yet powerful enough to capture some of the most color-shifted, low-res photographs you could hope for. Think of him as a Holga, only smaller, and without the cost of film and processing.
In addition to the 2MP sensor, the camera has an ƒ2.8 lens, automatic exposure and white balance, 4MB internal memory and an SD-card slot. The optical viewfinder is a pop-up plastic lens and the rear panel is an LCD which shows shots fired and the mode you are using – choose from self-timer, burst and video. Actually, don’t choose video, because it looks horrible, unlike the dreamy, lo-fi results from the stills part: Video is recorded at 320 x 240 at a mere 10-fps.
The appeal of these cameras is, I guess, the unpredictability of film, only without the costs. There’s no way to check the pictures until you get home (or at least slot the SD-card into an iPad) and no controls to tweak. You just shoot, and go. Happy accidents ensue. Digi Clover San is available now, and will be you friend for just $55.
