I love this! I’ve been wanting to buy a new Polaroid camera for a while. I wish I still had my grandmothers from the 70’s. They are just so much fun I just wish the price wasn’t so steep.
Let’s face it, this is a niche product now. Gonna have to pay for that.
Objectively, it’s way too expensive. The whole idea has always been to reap profits from film sales. It’s big mistake.
I still have the original SX-70 Polaroids I took at Polaroid’s dealer introduction in ’72. It was up in Los Angeles. Colors are still bright and saturated 50 years later.
£600 for the cam, then £2 per shot… but strangely I really want one! 🤔🤔🤔
same here
The price of the cam isn’t too bad, but seeing how quickly I can burn through packs of film is a bit concerning…it’s just that there is something incredibly satisfying about it, that is different to other film cameras.
@Kai W I can see that being an issue! There are few things in life as satisfying as watching a polaroid develop before your eyes!
Almost worth the novelty, but light metering will be annoying. It reminds me of the lomo gunpla kit I had. You build your own like a plastic model kit, but it works. Trapped at f16 and 1/60, it was still fun, but it burned through it’s novelty pretty quickly.
toys are fun. High pricetags arent.
After using fp100c-45 for the first time last week, and probably for the last time when i use the last 7 shots (because the only one i can find for sale is for 170CAD nearby) and also use a lomograflok, I will never not be happy with the instax/polaroid shot out film ever in my life after seeing the quality from peel/pack film. I would pay anything if any of these companies bring it back. Maybe competition is good, to make this style of instant film not look so bad. The film is ment to be used with a flash or else the colours end up quite warm and orange. Fujifilm knows that there is virtually no competition, therefore there is no reason to ever improve on the product. sorry for the all over the place rant, i just woke up.
I still have 6 packs of FP3000b have ypu shot this film? Absolutely amazing sharpness and overall quality. Would die to get my hands on new peel apart film — one can dream…
Absolutely. I have owned a land camera and my experience is unmatched with fp100c. would not shoot anything else.
I think my slr680 holds up pretty well today, it has lightning fast and accurate (as long as the subject isn’t being blocked too much) autofocus that works just as well in low light, and a sharp, glass lens. Costs just about as much as the new plastic one if you plan on buying it today though, if not more sometimes
It’s not a plastic lens. At least not on the commercial version of the product.
Had a bag of 35mm film once that I asked to be hand inspected. The TSA agent looked at it, threw it in a tub, and shoved it into the x-ray machine. Luckily it was ok.
It’s a pity most modern instant cameras have such cheap lenses though. Impossible and Instax used on a quality lens can show way more detail than this one.
fujifilm should make a proper instant camera to kill Polaroid 😂
@Kev C. Polaroid is already dead. This is the impossible project rebranded.
@Dane Berryman zombie Polaroid
The thing I’m most jealous of in this video: the fact you got to visit the life size Gundam!
I desperately need one. It’s needs to be bundled with a walkman!
Different eras.
Yes, it’s totally unreasonable.
InstantKon RF70 is much much much better camera with much much much better film, at about the same price.
Crazy to think they still make Polaroids. I really love the concept but the film has gotten pretty damn expensive at this point. Heck shooting film at all has gotten crazy expensive. Damn shame because there’s a certain value to printed photos that digital just can’t match. Going through a photo book is a whole different experience than scrolling through a folder. If you ever even do that to begin with =x
Polaroid film isn’t as cheap as it was in the 90s and early 2000s, but it’s cheaper than it was in the 70s. It’s about as expensive as it was in the early 80s
Well, I have a Instax Square and a pack of 10 films cost about 11€, so it makes 1.1€ per photo. It’s more then print some 10×15 photos, but not that much and it’s fun to see the picture “take life”.
Unfortunately shooting film with a 35mm/medium format camera is expensive, cause a 120 roll of Portra 160 goes up to 19€, which made 1.90€ per photo only to take it. Then you have to add the developing and the printing.
@kingappia like I said “shooting film became very expensive”.
And although it’s nice to see the prices being somewhat in line I’d much rather have cheaper 35mm film because 35mm camera’s are just objectively better at taking pictures 😅
But I also agree that seeing the photo’s come to live straight out of your camera is cool as well.
It’s not the same company. For one thing the real Polaroid was an American company.
Thank you for introducing Shibuya and Gundam of Yokohama!
Also The Polaroid is quite good. 😉
I thought oh they made a higher quality version. The cheaper ones are like 100 bucks so I expected this to run at like 200 maybe even 300. But 600? That’s a big no from me.
Hard to put into words how much Polaroid means to the film community and how much love and passion the Impossible project has invested in getting to this point. One of the biggest highlights for many a year in the photography world. 👏
Is it amazing to see how far the impossible project has come. I wonder how many people realise the current Polaroid is not the old Polaroid. Amazing, it’s full circle.
Watch 4 different channels, still don’t understand why this is not the antithesis of what Edwin Land wanted in a camera: simplicity.
The pink hue is not from x rays its from the temperature outside. I have a channel dedicated on instant photography and I have thoroughly tested the x ray myths
The shaking tends to hinder modern film because it is much thicker. It could spoil the image on original film slightly if you shuck it violently but given it was thinner and developed much faster, it didn’t hinder it too much, though Polaroid never recommended it.
The shaking was actually common with old Polaroid peel apart film, people would shake the print back and forth to dry it off quicker, given the later integral characteristics of film from the 70s onwards, it didn’t do anything apart from make the consumer feel like it sped up the development time, when infact it did nothing at all, lol.
