 About the Lomo LC-A   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The Lomo Kompact Automat (or LC-A for short), is a small Russian-made 35mm camera that has become very cult and popular.

Reliability can be a problem though - the Lomo isn't exactly well put together - sticky shutter is a common occurance, which I usually fix by dropping the camera on carpet from about 4 feet.
