answer: Sasha time: 1970-01-05 07:00:10Depends on how fast the "moving objects" are. Generally, point and shoot digicams suck royally for shooting moving objects.Therefore, I wouldn't recommend ANY of them to do what you're wanting to do. You need something with adjustable shutter and aperture - an SLR of some sort.

answer: Ketsia A time: 1970-01-03 18:00:03You don't mention which Holga you are looking at, but if you are new to film photography, you should consider starting with a lo-fi 35mm film camera. Why?1. Lower cost of film. You get more frames per roll, and if you are a beginner, the way to get good at shooting with film, is to shoot lots of it. I find that when beginners use 120 film, it's higher costs and higher cost of processing keeps them from shooting because they are very much aware of how much each shot costs.2. Easier to find. 35mm film is much easier to find than the 120 film used in the Holga 120 cameras. I see it in the drugstores, as well as few grocery stores (although that is becoming a much rarer experience).3. Easier to get processed. Most drugstores and large big box stores like Target or Walmart still have 1-hour labs, but only for 35mm film. You will have to find a local lab to process your 120 film, or send it out.4. Lower cost of processing. It cheaper to get your 35mm film processed. If you skip the prints and just get the roll processed and put on CD, you can cut the cost down even more. Tip: If you want prints, then you only pay for the ones that came out. This keeps the cost of processing down.Take a look at one of these 35mm cameras: Holga 135 or 135BC Similar cheap lens and operation as the Holga 120 cameras. 1 aperture setting (yes, the camera has 2 settings, but they are identical), 2 shutter settings, N (1/100 sec) and B (Bulb setting) tripod mount, cable release socket If you want the corner vignetting like on the larger format camera, get the Holga 135BC. Sample photos: http://www.flickr.com/groups/holga135bc/ Superheadz Black Slim Devil This is a clone based on the popular vintage Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim. It has no exposure controls and no flash option, but with it's wider than normal lens (22mm) it is capable of taking some outstanding photos. Sample photos: There really isn't a good Flickr group for these cameras yet, so the sample photos are from the Vivitar UWS http://www.flickr.com/groups/57074580@N0… The Diana Mini Lomography took the Diana camera, and shrunk it down to 35mm format. The Mini, while it lacks the interchangeable lenses of the full sized Lomography Diana+, is still a feature packed camera (at least compared to the Holga and Black Slim Devil). The frame format is unusual. They stuck with the square format of the Diana camera, but it is centered on a standard 35mm frame. The reason for floating the square on the 35mm frame is that be using a standard 35mm format, most 1-hour labs will be able to more easily deal with making scans or prints, since they are set up for regular 35mm film. You can also set the camera to half-frame 35mm, which is 2 vertical 24mm x 17mm images. This translates to 2 images on a standard 35mm frame. Currently a favorite of mine, it lives in my camera bag so it is handy where ever I go. 2 aperture settings, 2 shutter settings, N (1/100 sec) and B (Bulb setting) tripod mount, cable release socket This camera is unusual in that it offers square format,24x24mm on a standard 35mm frame (24x36mm). It also offers a half frame option, 17x24mm frames (it doubles the number of exposures you get on a roll of film) Diana Mini sample photos: http://www.flickr.com/groups/1232275@N22… The Diana Mini is nice, but I find that unless I am working close and with a flash, the images tend to be on the softer focus side, to the point of being blurry. You might want to consider the sharper lens of the Superheadz Slim cameras (Black Slim Devil, White Slim Angel or other variant, all the same camera in diff colors). Take a careful look at the sample photos on Flickr to help you make a decision.Whichever camera you choose, remember that the point of lo-fi photography is to have fun and don't sweat the details!

answer: BL time: 1970-01-01 08:00:04I don't have any sample photos, but I am partial to Canon cameras. I have owned sony, casio, and canon cameras, and Canon has always provided the best features, lenses, and are generally the easiest to use. I also own a Canon SLR, and have been more than happy with its performance. You will likely enjoy any of the above cameras. I think that most of the point and shoot cameras are going to provide similar results, if each camera has similar features. I would just be sure that the camera you do purchase has image stabilization; that is key, because the cameras are so small that they pick up on the slightest movement which will blur photos. If I was to pick, I would go with the Canon.
