Ah, how the right-sided brain people think. These Lomo cameras aren't about being practical solutions or technical marvels. They're about FUN and creativity.
Yes any camera in burst mode can take multiple pictures quickly; yes they're made of plastic and sometimes don't work right, giving unexpected results; but that's what it's all about! You load up a reel of film, go out with friends and mess around, and part of the fun is not knowing what you'll get back after you develop the photos. You get the best pictures just shooting off-the-hip without all that pesky planning. Sometimes you'll get light spill from one of the lenses effecting another part of the film giving crazy colours too, so you just never know.
Remember this isn't a digital camera! This exposes a single frame of film 8 times to get the effect. Think outside the box and it's great stuff.
