Analogue and instant, the best combination since peanut
butter and chocolate, has something new to celebrate: The Impossible Project’s
I-1 instant camera. Designed to use the
Impossible 600-type instant film, the camera itself is a riff on the long
lamented Polaroid 600 series camera and film. As simple to use as the original
Polaroid 600, the camera has features that could have only been dreamed of when
the original debuted some 30 years ago.

As befitting a camera for the 21st century, there
are few controls on the camera itself, but with an iOS app via Bluetooth, you
are able to control shutter speed, aperture, control flash, and select from one
of several presets.
Scheduled to be released May 10th the I-1 will
retail for $299. A small price to pay for real instant gratification. For more information check out the Impossible Project website here.
There are many people looking forward to the I-1 release with great anticpation however with Fuji kicking the impossible project to the curb recently and the high cost of film I'm skeptical of its market growth. We shall see what Catlabs "developes".
