The Digital Harinezumi and Yashica EZ F521, but they don’t come close to the Fun Nature FDC01 in terms of surprise. That elements come into play when you don’t know what you have shot until you plug the shooter to your computer to preview the images. Measuring just 53 x 23 x 19mm and weighing a feather-light 21g, the FDC01 comes with a keychain so you can attach it to your bag or even lanyard. It comes in either cyan or magenta. There’s a switch for toggling between macro and landscape, and two unlabeled buttons for the shutter and power/mode. We’d advise reading the user manual before attempting to operate this camera. Feature-wise, the 1.92-megapixel FDC01 has only the bare essentials. The lens is fixed at 39.5mm and there are no exposure controls (except for focus) for you to fiddle around with. There is also no viewfinder, so you’ll have to guess what the lens is seeing. However, there are three filter effects which you can apply to make your pictures look more interesting; the unpredictable results can be fun. We’ll get to that later.

The FDC01 has 64MB of internal memory and has a slot for microSD cards of only up to 2GB. Bear in mind that any images in the internal storage will be wiped out once the non-removable battery is drained, so it’s best to use a memory card with the camera. There is a USB port at the bottom of the snapper to charge the juice pack and to connect to a computer to view the images. The USB cable is supplied in the package.
