They are both good cameras. They are a little different. I love working with my vintage Dianas, but they are very tempermental. More light leakage, spotty shutters, and so on, but the images they produce can be both wonderful and frustrating. The Holga is very dependable. I like traveling with it, because it is sturdy and reliable. It also produces very beautiful photos. I would recommend getting one, because they are cheap, and you can also mount a flash (on the 120N), on it for cool night photos.
I think i have to agree, Holgas are great cameras for traveling, and yeah they are very sturdy. I love the first shot here, great composition and the focusing is spot on!

Just wondering what you think of the Holga compared to the Diana. I've got a Diana now, and have been considering adding a Holga to the arsenal too.
Gorgeous shots, by the way! Do you develop your own, or have them processed?
