Japan-based Superheadz brings another unique film camera with the release of the Digital Harinezumi. As with Superheadz’s other snappers, the 2-megapixel Digital Harinezumi produces pictures with a soft, out-of-focus feel. The colors emulate that of Lomo shooters–often quirky and sometimes unsaturated.

Although this snapper has an LCD screen, shutterbugs won’t be able to use it to frame shots. Instead, the firm has incorporated a plastic viewfinder on top of the camera for that purpose. As for the display, it is reserved for viewing pictures only.

The Digital Harinezumi is also able to record videos, although the site did not mention what the video resolution is. What the company wants consumers to know is that the recordings have the vintage feel of old 8mm clips. Check out the video below to see the dreamy quality created.

This small digicam is modeled after the company’s other 110-format cameras and is extremely pocketable. For now, it is available only in Japan for about US$390. This is quite pricey compared with other point-and-shoots manufactured by established brands such as Canon and Nikon. That said, we think the Digital Harinezumi is going to be a hit with photographers who want to experiment with something different.
