 Too much fun January 15, 2008

I just got this, and it's too much fun. I don't own a Lomo, but I'm using it on my Canon and Nikon DSLR cameras.
I do recommend that you remove the battery when stowing it in your bag - it's too easy to turn off and on. Other than that it's a neat toy for the $25 I paid.
Lomo Colorsplash - Really fun with Other Cameras October 24, 2007

Don't forget you can use this thing on any DSLR or film SLR witha hotshoe or with a synch adapter. You can also put a standard camera on 'bulb' and fire the flash manually using a bunch of different colors. Just reduce the aperture say 4 stops and fire the flash five or six times in different locations and different colors. Since you can see your results on the screen it's a really powerful little addition to picture taking. Also don't forget you can just use a slave trigger to make the thing light up a backdrop or use it as a hair highlight on a flash stand along with more traditional studio flash units. Yeah - it's no different from a colored gel on a studio flash unit, but it is more portable and it's cheap enough to tape on a stick on location where studio lights are out of the question.
Inexpensive, very effective, fun! October 15, 2007

I'd seen someone on Flickr that had recently gotten one for their D200 and looking at the results raised my interest. The price is what cinched it for me and after using it a fair bit today, I was delighted. It looks a bit weird on my D200, but it works great, on camera or off.
It's one of the most fun photographic tools I've ever laid my hands on, not to mention one of the most inexpensive. The cost:fun ratio is very much in its favor - get one, you won't be disappointed.
splash of fun September 27, 2007

This is definitely something to have for fun. It fits the standard hot shoe so you can use it on most cameras. however, you won't get much of an effect when you use it on digital cameras--it only washes out the image, and depending on what color you use, you can't exactly tell you used anything different. It's really intended for 35mm film. Other than that, I love the little guy.
 Colorsplash Flash June 16, 2007

There is a difference between basic functionality and cheaply made. Lomography is all about the former but some manufacturers, including thos ewho make the Colorsplash seem to think it infers the latter. However,if you want a cheap, poorly designed flash Colorsplash flash will fill the bill.
The poor quality and design quickly become apparent - the internal colored lenses aren't fixed in place and detach easily. I was forced to take mine apart to repair it two days out of the box. There is only one slot for adding one of the extra plastic color gel filters - the rest are internal. Add to that the charge time is similar to that found in throwaway cameras and the drain on the battery is significant - resulting in even slower charge times.
One would be better off spending a bit more and purchasing a standard flash attachment especially if you are going to be doing a lot of flash photography - many of these hot-shoe flashes come with hard plastic color lenses. The other option is to use color filters. There is a filter adapter and color filter set available for the Holga that is less expensive than the Colorsplash.
The bottom line is if you want reliablity and durabilty, look elsewhere.
