IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT AND THE INSTANT FILM CAMERA REBITH
The insanely awesome folks over at Impossible Project have announced their all new instant film camera, and I have to say it sounds amazing. Impossible Project are the folks that have been bringing you film for your Polaroid instant cameras and even the ability to make Polaroid prints right off your phone.
They’re calling this nifty, funky looking camera the I-1. It looks like a sleek, modern black pyramid on top of a traditional Polaroid looking base. There only appears to be a few buttons though. Not that you would expect more on this type of camera. One of the most interesting looking features is the LED ring flash around the lens. You won’t find that on your grandpa’s Polaroid. Apparently the flash will automatically adjust to the ambient light and the distance to the subject.
Despite the retro styling and the modern ring flash, the I-1 has a nice modern feature set. There’s a companion app that allows you to take control of the shutter speed, aperature, and flash settings. Not only that, you can even trigger the camera remotely. The I-1 also charges via USB to keeping it powered should be very easy.
Impossible Project says the I-1 will be available to purchase May 10. The price point is $299, which isn’t too terrible considering that the Fuji Instax is $130 and you don’t get the kind of control the I-1 is promising.
I’m looking forward to this camera and will probably get my hands on one when it’s released.
