Impossible-Project I-1 Camera

Have you heard about Impossible-Project I-1 Camera ? So finally Impossible Project has created and released their own Instant Camera. Basically this is the first analog instant photo camera came to market which use Polaroid Type 600 instant film. Polaroid 600 series film packs and cameras are long gone but guys at Impassible Project producing new Type 600 film which you can use for this cam.

One of the problems with this camera is you can't call it a cheap instant camera. This is probbly the most expensive Type 600 camera ever made. Impossible Project has put a $300 price tag on it. Personally it's way too expensive for me. Plus when you think about $3 per print photos it's way too much money for a instant photo print.

There is an App which let you connect this camera with your iPhone. No sadly it doesn't have a digital sensor so you can't have your photos. But this App let your some of those camera controls including timer option. They don't have an Android app but said to be released by September 2016.

They have even released a new type of type 600 film along with this camera and  It must be more improved version of old Impossible Project film packs. If you already have a I-1 or plan to buy one make sure to use these latest film rather than old film packs.

There is one interesting fact which makes this model different from old Polaroid 600 cameras. It has it's own power source, an inbuilt lithium battery. Film pack comes with a battery too but camera doesn't relay on that to power all it's functions. This is a really good improvement.

Anyway I don't think this can be passed as a cheap instant camera or cheap Polaroid camera. It's a nice product for those who crazy about old Polaroid 600 models but not something great for daily use. Camera is too expensive and also film price is not the lowest in market.

If you want a cheap Polaroid camera then there plenty of other options in market today. The best thing about these cheap instant cameras is they use newly made film packs which are lot cheaper than old instant film. There are nice digital instant cams like Polaroid Snap, Polaroid z340 etc and Also there are Fuji Instax series models like Instax Mini 70, Instax Mini 90, Instax 300 etc.
