Homie seemed like he was doing this video at gunpoint.

On one hand, the current excellent quality of the film with bright, accurate well-saturated colors and consistencly from shot to shot, is a throwback to Polaroid's glory days when Polaroid's were everywhere, being used with the same purpose phone cameras are now used. On the other hand, Polaroid has identified a rather nice sized niche of amateurs, semi-pros and professionals who are photographers and artists of all types and has developed new tools along with the film to produce unique, creative original images that were unattainable with most Polaroid cameras of the past. Success cannot occur if risk isn't taken. The current Polaroid started as the aptly named Impossible Project. This was a huge risk and it was indeed a virtually impossible task. But they accomplished it and never thought of stopping their improvement of it. I believe Dr. Land would approve.

I just got this camera and im trying to figure it out but all the pictures I take look really bad, blurry, dark and it keeps getting worse each picture I take

[Stealther]

Way to go Polaroid. I thought you had suffered the same fate as the polar bear.

For the double exposure photographs you have to have been relatively close to your subject.

What is the minimum distance you have to be from your subject because mine keep turning out blurry

[KamiRolo]

Okay so I have a question for the double exposure mode. Now how do I do it while having a self timer on? Cause I don’t want to have to take the photos with my phone in my had. I’ve already had two failures and any help would be nice

[Djnn]

Okay. This is really cool. I wish there was a way to trigger an external flash or strobe as well. Then this would be instabuy!

Imo it still sucks to have no option to select a mode from the app and press the shutter button on the camera, not on the phone. I think it's time to step further from the days of the Impossible I-1 and the Polaroid Originals OneStep+ and give the photographer the opportunity to select modes and settings on the phone and then use the camera to finish taking your shot. Holding both your phone and the camera in your hands at the same time is kinda uncomfortable. This is just my opinion though.

Having had a Polaroid i-1 and a Polaroid one step 2, how does this compare ? I ended up selling both as was dissatisfied overall with them.

Does this camera finally have faster ranging? That's been my biggest gripe with all the i-Types, you go and try to capture a moment and the camera just freezes up, waiting about half a second to take the photo. You can feel this especially on the Now, after the half-press it takes a bit for the lens to click in place and during that time the shutter is inhibited. It's so much slower than an Impulse AF, for example.

I understand that this could very well be a hardware limitation with the ranging unit, but even then, if the camera could just keep measuring range whenever it charges the flash, and then keep the last known measurement on the half-press to keep the AE-lock feature, that would pretty much fix it. Haven't had a chance to try the Now+ yet though, I really hope it has this exact fix or something equivalent.

2:38 Woah woah woah "Debug"?

[sebastianarmijominoletti]

I can't see the + button in the app to create a shortcut, is the app working?

[joelperez]

I'll stick to Polaroid now.... In my opinion it's more fun keeping it more original with taking simple old-school snaps not knowing how it's going to come out. Good updates but it takes away that classic.. original feeling. If I wanted to edit pictures so much I might as well stick to my phone or get a Nikon or Canon.

What is the size dimension of the pic when printed out from camera?
