    Awesome Analog for the Money
    I feel like I've been spending so much on Polaroid-size film and film cameras over the last 2+ years. I've tried buying an old OneStep, then purchased the OneStep2 and then an old SX-70 but I can't seem to catch a break. Either the batteries die far too quickly or the film doesn't expose very well. Fortunately my love of Polaroid will always prevail.I remember seeing the I-1 launch but didn't feel like making the investment. It wasn't until the price dropped and that didn't seem like much of a financial gamble try it out at this point. I've taken it out on a number of trips and I'm surprised at how long the battery life is. Also, the way the camera viewfinder is set up, I'm also not cutting off my subject in the pictures. The app and all the modern bells and whistles are awesome to do more artistic things with.Polaroid Originals/Impossible Project/Polaroid are doing some incredible things in this space. I hope they continue on their path to bring back this awesome instant platform. If anyone from Polaroid is listening, I would LOVE to see an interpretation on a modern SX-70 foldable camera. Unfortunately the OneStep and 1-I are just awkwardly sized for my travel photography kit and I would love to see a foldable Polaroid that I can take along with my main camera kit.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great value for money. Fun and versatile camera.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2019
    THis is a great instant camera!. The ergonomics are great, the bluetooth interface gives access to full manual control and lots of other creative modes. The lens quality is good and the new formulation film by Polaroid Originals is really good. As good as the old Time Zero film from Polaroid, although the development still takes much longer... what counts is picture quality and this camera and film combination is really excellent. At the present price, which is a fraction of the original, this camera is a steal. I bought a second one. Highly recommended! Five stars.
