History and technical features 

Small, light, bright and unknown.
It was a time when every Sunday morning, I used to go to one of the famous markets in Palermo, Ballarò, hoping to find some interesting cameras. Here’s what happened on the first day.
On one of the many stalls, among bed sheets, cardboard pieces and small tables on the ground, I saw a pile of compact cameras… and there I saw it: Halina.
The seller asked 5 Euros for it, I made a deal for 4, and he asked me “Does 1 Euro make a difference?” I said, “It definitely does.” It did indeed, as two stalls further I bought a perfectly working clone of the ActionSampler for 1 Euro!
As I got home, I looked for some info on the Halina on the web, but couldn’t find any. The only info I got on it are the following.:
It’s so easy to use, light, small, and seems to have a very bright lens.
