New Instant film camera...

Saw this today via email from AG, a new instant camera from the Impossible folk. Bit of an impossible price, too! But interesting!

I love the look of that. And the price isn't cheap by any means, but I think we're spoiled by the amounts we pay for old film cameras.

Just realised why - looks like an old telephone with the receiver missing.

Ouch, I knew it wouldn't be cheap but that's a fair amount! You also can't make any manual control changes without using a Bluetooth connected smartphone which I can't really see being particularly easy to do while holding the camera?

Come on folks admit the T70 is better looking.

Yes and no, it is true that now we pay 1% of the price for old film cameras than 20 years ago, but where are the £229 in that camera???... an old concept with a cheap plastic body, simple not stylish design, led flash, crappy finder, etc.

I'm willing to pay for any new idea and for the I+D behind it but... come on!... £229 for that, really?? (n)

Unfortunately it's playing to its market. The same people could get the same questionable results with any one of the hundreds of Polaroid 600's available for pennies in charity shops but Impossible are very good at marketing their products so this will probably sell quite well.

If people are willing to pay out £18 for 8 yellow-tinged Polaroid style results with limited guarantee of success then this is easy :0)
