Russian-made cult camera brand Lomo have just released its latest model – and it's a tiddler. La Sardina is a tiny point-and-shoot with a special casing modelled on a tin of sardines. Essentially, it's a pocket-sized analogue camera (it takes normal 35mm ﬁlm) with a Lomo's usual wide-angle lens that makes for prints with deep colours and wonderfully wobbly distortions – no ﬁsh included. Pick from the El Capitán, Fischer’s Fritze, Sea Pride and Marathon, throw out your digital camera, and get shooting. You can still buy ﬁlm, right?

La Sardina, $65 (+ postage) from Lomography Australia
