Yes!Star officially released the new S1 film camera and held a new product launch conference in Shanghai. The film camera is made of all metal, with replaceable film, equipped with a 31mm lens, a maximum aperture of F11, a built-in flash, and is compact and light, weighing only about 280 grams.
There is no info yet about pricing and launch in countries outside of China. My take on this is that film is on surge and I hope that aside of Pentax (with the great Pentax 17) also other manufacturers will launch new film cameras.
