Impossible Project's I-1 instant film camera carries on Polaroid's legacy
Impossible Project, the company that has helped prop Polaroid's abandoned instant film and instant film cameras, has announced its first 600-type instant film camera, and it comes with a digital twist.
Called the I-1 and available on May 10 for $300, the analog instant film camera is a modern take on old Polaroid cameras. Like all modern gadgets, the I-1 connects to an app via Bluetooth, which lets you manually adjust the the aperture, shutter speed and flash.

Unlike many instant film cameras that use regular batteries, the I-1 camera battery recharges via USB.
The instant film camera also has an LED flash ring around the lens, which can automatically calibrate for ambient light and distance.
