The Impossible I-1 is the first new 600-type instant film camera released in many years and is now shipping at B&H Photo.
The I-1 accepts the old Polaroid 600-type instant film (now made by Impossible Project), along with the new I-Type film from Impossible project.
The notable advances in the Impossible I-1 include iOS and WatchOS compatibility, an 82-109mm lens, a 5-zone AF system, a built-in ring flash and the inclusion of a rechargeable battery. Having its own battery means that the new I-Type film, which is made for this camera, doesn’t have to include its own battery pack. This seems to shave a couple bucks off the cost of a pack of film.
The I-1 instant camera retails for $299. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
Given the huge number of working SX-70s in existence, this product serves no meaningful purpose.
it’s a great innovative addition to a well established camera that is loved by so many people globally for decades. Hope this new addition will attract even more photo enthusiasts to instant photography.
