Original Famous Big
I just bought an "Olempia" brand camera (Big Royal View) not Olympia. Can someone give me background on this?
First off, I seriously mean "OLEMPIA" not the OLYMPIA famous brand. I was just googling and doing my best to look up the brand, but it barely shows up other than to be very cheap knock-off. However, I was looking for it's origins, background, manufacturers etc. Even specs or reviews. So far, to no avail. Why do I care? Because I actually bought one from a thrift store carelessly for $40. I can tell it's probably a knock-off from the original brand, Olympia, but I wanted more information. Could anyone help me?
You still don't have it right.
Olympus is the famous brand and Olympia is a ripoff of that, so my guess is you spent $40 for a plastic camera that you can buy new for under $20.
It really pays to do your homework before you spend your money.
Is this like the camera you paid $40 for used?
