Polaroid i-2 instant camera

Polaroid, the iconic brand known for its instant cameras, has recently launched the I-2, a high-spec instant camera that is packed with features. This new addition to the Polaroid family is set to offer the most advanced features for a Polaroid camera yet, albeit at the high price.

 

At $600 / £600 which is a lot higher than Polaroid's previous models such as Instant NOW (£120) and NOW+ (£150) you will get:

- Polaroid's sharpest lens to date (even sharper than the legendary SX-70)

- 98mm f/8 lens with minimum aperture of f/64

- Built-in manual controls

- Continuous autofocus 3-lens system (Lidar Driven)

- tripod mount

- Bulb mode up to 99 hours

- internal flash & 5mm flash sync

- Outer and VF display

- 6 camera modes: Aperture, Shutter, Multi exposure, Timer, Manual & Auto

- Adjustable aperture range (from f8 to f64) and shutter speed

- Accurate, human-friendly flash system

- USB-C charging cable included

- App-connected (iOS & Android)

- Uses Polaroid i-Type, 600 and SX-70 film

Polaroid i-2 instant camera

The Polaroid I-2 is a game-changer in the world of instant photography. While at the first glance the price may seem to be very high we need to understand that it is one of the first cameras designed from scratch and not based on old models. It is a very important event in analog photography since the re-release of Leica M6 which we covered in our previous posts. Research & development costs time & money and at the size of the market this is the price to pay. 

Polaroid SX-70 instant camera

Remember the original price of a Polaroid SX-70 was $180 which is adjusted to 2023 is close to $1250, so $599 for the Polaroid I-2 which is better in terms of specs is a very good offer. 

Who knows may be the success of this camera will bring Fujifilm to release a high spec Instax model. The time will tell.

In the meantime we at Stuck in Film HQ are working hard to bring you instant photography through our website. Stay tuned for the further updates.
