"A monumental leap from the past"
At last they've discovered how to have BOTH shutter speed and aperture controls in the same camera (according to the promotional ad). But they had to make their own bellows because they couldn't find anyone to make them.
And it's ONLY 900 bucks!

I'm grabbing one of the first ones, as I expect I can resell it to some suck...., err... sophisticated photographer in the near future at twice the price! Sure it's a bigger buy in, but I'm sure it will rise faster than a Diana or Holga!

I guess you'd have to call it a medium format, so there's that, right?

If you've seen their earlier "new" cameras, you wouldn't be surprised!

Love the forever free film offer just don't understand how you get the camera to show in the photograph if you are taking the photograph unless you only photograph yourself in a mirror.

But wait. There's more!

Sadly, I kind of want one. Imagine yourself taking street shots and handing out the results to the subjects, in sparkly Fuji Instax film?

Polaroid has risen from obsolescence! Instant cameras are desirable/marketable again?😳

I'll stay with digital, thank you. I can't imagine the cost of film to retake a shot missed or blurry. Digital, I'll shot 1 to 3, 4, 5 as many as I want to review them later and print or share what I want.

I used to own a Polaroid 110b, similar to this camera. Converting 1960 dollars to today's dollar, this camera is not overpriced.
