Is it possible to use a camera here that doesn't record any EXIF data with the image? I have been having a good bit of fun with this little guy that I just picked up on Amazon for $34. Many moons ago when I used to participate here, winning images had to have the original submitted so EXIF data could validate the image as being taken during the required timeframe for the challenge.

I took a quick look at the original you sent. It seems pretty thin on any exif data at all. Not enough to be valid for a challenge entry anyway. I'll let someone else take a peek as well (left the ticket open).
Looks like the very definition of a "funk-buster," as they say. :-)
SC members could chime in here...but one way you COULD legally incorporate images from it into a challenge entry is by capturing things with it that you would specifically use as a textural overlay to something captured with a "valid" digital camera within the challenge timeframe. Like images of clouds or concrete and such. Am I right?
Long time no see! Find a camera that DOES have valid exit and jump back in. :-)
I dunno if I'm up for DPC contests again or not :) I thought it might be fun to compete with a $34 camera but I don't think this one is gonna be legal here. I 'could' compete with it as long as I didn't finish in the top 3.. lol

Just a thought...
Correct. Under Standard editing rules ...
You May: "use images that do not meet the source or date requirements as textures in your entry if they function specifically as textures and not to circumvent other rules."

I don't have a "toy" camera but I like "toy" effects. Side challenges require no exif.

well in that case I could be in. (send the camera to me).

Whoa! Now this looks so cool! Where do I get one? I'll do some research! :-)
My wife got me the red version of this camera as an early christmas gift :)
I bought an iphone lens kit that I have modified to work with this camera also. I installed that adapter ring on the original CHUZHAO where I can screw those filters on over the lens.... I played with the fisheye briefly yesterday...
Playing with an add-on macro lens... these were made with one of the add-on lens kits you can get cheaply for the iPhones.... just a very minor modification allows those to work beautifully on the CHUZHAO.....
Look mighty good for a toy ... more evidence that it's the photographer not the camera ... :-)
Maybe.. or maybe knowing how to work within the limits of the tools... This camera has some weaknesses, one of which shows up in that photo of the lock. It does not meter the scenes very well. When you have a scene with a lot of left and right on the histogram, the highs are gonna lose out...
