When I first saw this camera, I thought, "this thing is ridiculous". I don't mean that in the good way, but instead the "holy crap, people actually bought this" kind of a way. In fact, it seems like Nishika had such high hopes for this camera, they even commissioned Vincent Price to do the promotional/instructional video (no joke). In reality though, it's a piece of junk. It's fully plastic body is enormous and is built with less precision than a Hot Wheels toy. The body itself looks like a Minolta copy, complete with a fake LCD screen at the top with readouts on recommended "Ideal 3-D Distances" from your subject. It looks like it was made to be a copy of something fancier, like a "Nimtendo". But it wasn't, it was crafted to trick as many suckers as possible into buying a piece of plastic crap. And they apparently did buy it, and are still buying it. Even though it's an awful camera, after a little bit of digital trickery it does it's job well.
