The I-1 was debuted today by Impossible Project CEO Oskar Smolokowski,
and it’s a camera that stands at the border between two worlds. One one
side: the nostalgic pleasure of the analog instant cameras of old; on
the other: the sleek design and digital control we’ve grown accustomed
to in the 21st century. This article was first published on the website PetaPixel

The camera uses Impossible type 600 film—which was reverse engineered
from the now discontinued Polaroid 600 film, which the camera can also
use—and while it may look extremely simple from the outside, it’s got a
few tricks up its sleeve.The “advanced ring flash” automatically adjusts based on ambient
light and focus distance, the battery is USB rechargeable (a big
departure from the Polaroid days), and a companion app can connect to
the camera via bluetooth giving you full manual control over aperture,
shutter speed, and flash settings. The Impossible Project I-1 is set to arrive May 10th attached to a
$300 price tag, putting it right on track to compete with the many used
Polaroid cameras you can buy online, as well as Fuji’s popular Instax line of film and cameras.To learn more, head over to The Impossible Project website.
