It's a simple affair, with a fixed shutter speed, [[fixed focus]] and fixed aperture. It is small and lightweight, and was presumably very cheap to manufacture and purchase. It used [[Flashcubes#Flashcubes|Magicubes]] for interior photography. One nice design quirk is that the wrist-strap screws into a standard tripod mount.
