I must admit I don't really know what to make of this. Meg White + Jack White of the White Stripes with their own cameras? I'm not sure I really see the correlation besides their signature red/black/white.Is she really known for candy stripes? Apparently there are lots of things I don't know about the White Stripes. But I am far from a superfan, in fact I think their only song on my ipod is Seven Nation Army. I prefer Jack's other band.
Per the product page:
For Meg White, we’re thrilled to introduce a custom Diana+ camera and Lomography Ringflash.
The Diana+ is a faithful reproduction and a loving homage to the classic Diana, (the original 1960’s all-plastic cult camera) with a bit of new Lomographic magic tossed in.
hmmm...calling White Stripes super fans, I guess? I can't see anyone else buying this. It isn't even digital.

"its not even digital"...? Photography can be a fun process, that is more than just taking an automatic photo, and uploading it on your computer.
I think the band made a great choice to re-design these hugely famous lomography cameras as they are fans of early technology and this is just about as basic a camera as you could get. Takes beautiful shots that no digital camera could ever hope to produce.
I'm a white stripes fan, and the candy stripes are iconic of the band, the motif is emblazoned everywhere, on their kit and in early album artwork.
I know blogs are freedom of speech etc, but the "not even digital' comment seemed very narrowminded, and i don't like the fact that such views could influence others.
I totally agree with anonymous' comment. When you said, "It's not even digital." I was shocked and a little piece of me died.
It makes me sad to hear "it's not digital" It's a lomography camera. A beautiful camera. Film just isn't appreciated these days.
