should I buy a WOCA or a HOLGA?

Buy a Woca. If you're going to be all eccentric and artsy and all, you might as well be able to walk around mumbling "wocawocawoca" to yourself. It can be a lot of fun.

You should be warned though, that if you wander around muttering 'wocawocawocawoca', you will be in danger of being mistaken for Pacman.

I bought the Holga FN.
I wanted the flashunit, because you can switch it off and never use it, but it can still come in handy one day. I choose the plastic lens because indeed I want the crapiest.
I bought on ebay, because shipping rates are the most reasonable there and because its fairly save.

Thanks for the help.

Clearly, you should buy both!

For me even 20 euro is a significant amount of money. So I've bought one, and be happy with it.

And what other toy cameras are out there that someone would favor over a holga? I heard the Box Brownie, does everyone agrees on that?

In the past, I have enjoyed using a Box Brownie and a Diana. I regret having sold them.

Since I have never used a Holga or a Woca, I cannot compare image quality (or lack thereof).

I now use large format pinhole cameras for the shooting situations in which I would be inclined to use a Box Brownie, Diana, Holga, or Woca.
