Is this camera, designed in the 50-70's style any good?
Is this camera, designed like it was in the 50-70's any good?

So my friend just brought this camera and he says it is cool - but neither of us are photo experts.
It is not a digital camera and it uses film
What type of photos can he take with this? Is it better than an average digital camera that is on todays market?
Any experrt advice on this type of camera would be great!

It's a toy. Lomo makes a virtue of unreliability. In the 60 & 70s serious photographers bought Nikons first, Pentax second, Canon and Olympus and Minolta 3rd. They were a lot more expensive but, they worked.
If you want a vintage compact rangefinder look for a Minolta Himatic s7 mark II. The pinnacle of compact rangefinder acheivement. If you want a compact film rangefinder that works look for a used Ricoh GR1, GR1s or GR1v. If you want an interchangable film rangefinder that works without the cost of a leica look for a used Minolta CLE, Voightlander R2, or the current photographic bargain of the century, a contax G2.
If you want a quirky camera as a talking point with mediocre imagesthat will cease to be 'fun' after the third roll, then get a lomo.
