May 26, 2016 By Eric Reagan 2 Comments

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.

Impossible Project Unveils the I-1 Instant Camera

Impossible Project just announced its very first camera, the I-1, which uses Polaroid 600 film.

Impossible Project is currently the only manufacturer of Polaroid 600-type film and there hasn’t been a new 600-type camera released in years.

The I-1 steps up the capabilities of what we’re accustomed to having in instant film cameras like those older Polaroids and even the current Fujifilm Instax cameras. It can be controlled by a smart device over Bluetooth connection to adjust aperture, shutter speed and flash settings. It can also be triggered remotely from the app. Notably, the I-1 includes a built-in ring flash and autofocus. [Read more…]
