Polaroid I-2: The modern successor to vintage polaroid? Initial test and review

Polaroid just released their latest and greatest professional camera, the Polaroid I-2. Prashanna joins us again on Modern Midlife’s, to help unbox this camera and put it through its paces to see whether it lives upto its hype as well as to see whether it truly deserves its price tag! Everyone has been comparing it to the legendary Polaroid SX-70 camera’s and lets see whether it will dethrone it as the sharpest and best Polaroid camera.

The I-2 is a viewfinder camera and the SX70 and its variants are SLRs. You are comparing apples to oranges. It is like comparing a Rollei 35 viewfinder camera with a Nikon F3 SLR camera. Both are arguably excellent 35mm cameras but they are inherently different and will be used differently. This comparison can never be fair and which camera you like will be dictated by how you take your photos. I don’t know where this original comparison started from, but it is wrong to compare them! The vintage cameras that are closest to the I-2 are actually the Spectra Cameras. For those of you who are like me and keep lamenting about missing using your spectra cameras and the loss of the film, this is the camera for you. It is basically a spectra camera on steroids and has almost all of its functions other than the ability to do manual focusing. This is the closest thing that will fill the void in your soul from losing spectra film and this I2 is essentially a modern spectra camera that shoots conventional 600/i-Type/SX-70 film. Here are the PROS Excellent optics and coating I did a rudimentary unscientific test using a sharpness target using the I2 and a Polaroid 680 that was repaired by Jake Bright a few years back. I will attach the Polaroids. Without getting too esoteric and philosophical about what it means for an image to be very sharp, The I2 wins the Polaroid 680 hands down (but I still feel both cameras should not be compared because a viewfinder/rangefinder will always have less camera shake than a SLR (even on a tripod) and therefore result in the images appearing sharper). Compare the polaroids that I have attached and form your own opinion. Battery life is Great I didn’t charge the camera out of the box. Kept it on and my friend and I shot the camera while keeping it connected through Bluetooth on the app. Then we went out and ran 4 packs of film through it and it still has 2 bars of battery life left. -Improvements in user design and user experience The camera has a lens cap warning when you attempt to shoot an image while the lens cap is still attached to prevent you from wasting shots. The camera also won’t allow you to fire a shot if you are closer than 20cm to the image. The camera also will warn you when camera shake could become an issue through the viewfinder The internal app interface is simple and intuitive to use. The camera also has a fast autofocus with what I consider a satisfying shutter sound. The flash setting is kept in memory even when you switch off the camera (you don’t have to worry about switching off or on your flash every time you off and on your camera) -DOF with beautiful bokeh I tried taking some shots at different apertures and I have to say that the shots with smaller apertures are sharp and the bokeh at larger apertures is pleasing to my eye. I took photos at f8, f16, f32 and f64. F32 and F64 are very similar with F64 just a hair ever so soft -No Phone required The ability to control and see all the functions/settings of the camera without having the need to use an APP is a godsend and reduces the need to tinker with another gadget just to access another function built within the camera Do drop your comments and likes for more great content!
