Hipsters rejoice! Greg Dash, the fellow behind the digital fisheye camera, is at it again but this time is trying to create something a bit more complicated. This time around, he’s creating the digital Diana camera. It goes on sale tomorrow at 3pm GMT in a limited run of 1,000 units.

Don’t expect a large sensor to be in this puppy though; it houses a 12MP 1/3″ CMOS sensor. It also has a plastic lens just like the actual cameras. It also includes built it photo filters, and some manual controls including white balance and ISO adjustments. The camera also boasts authentic shutter sounds when pressing the shutter button – recorded from an original camera. There is also a 1.8 inch TFT LCD screen on the back.

You can check out more about the camera on their website. They’ll cost around 65 Euro a pop and Greg is looking to raise 13,500 Euro for the project.

More photos and a video are after the jump.
