Waitasec...wouldn't you have to hold it at a very specific distance from your eye for the "viewfinder" to be accurate?

It's probably not that different from rangefinder style cameras[1]. I don't think the problem with this one is with its transparent viewfinder, it's more that its output quality just aren't that great according to someone who tried it[2]. Seems like a neat toy at $45 though.

I think most rangefinder cameras are/were either fixed focal length or adjusted to the lens in use so there was only a tiny parallax error. This is going to be far, far worse.

The quality is much better than expected, a little too sharp but still passable for me.

I was expecting another "retro-like" throwaway toy camera.
