Anyone Getting the New Impossible Camera?

Anyone here order the new Impossible Project camera? I'm curious to see how well this camera does, along with the new 2.0 version of the film.

A shame that the film is priced so high. I feel that is really going to be a massive limiting factor to their success.

I'm curious too, but wont' be buying one. I don't do much instant, but have my grandfather's folding SX-70 for when I do - and a couple other serviceable OneSteps. I am taking 3 packs of Impossible film on vacation to Hocking Hills, OH, this June.

I would rather put the $ into more film, my SX70 works just fine but the remote release via app looks interesting.

Had they made a camera where I could manually set aperture, shutter speed, and focus on the body itself (rather than using a phone app), I'd buy it. As it is, no.

I already have three integral film cameras - an SX-70, SLR690, and Image 1200, plus two pack film cameras. So, my focus will be on just buying film for those.

I second that. The premium on Polaroid 180 and 195 cameras, and modified cameras, is very high. They could have significantly undercut those prices and offered something that few Polaroid shooters have ever experienced. What they're offering is a not very attractive camera at a high price, and the film to run it is about $3 a shot. I know Polaroid cameras themselves were never cheap, but some were affordably priced. If Impossible wants to sell film, they should have offered a cheaper camera bundled with a lot of film. There are so many cameras on the used market (200 million cameras brought out of obsolescence, according to Impossible's own website), many of which have been barely used, like this camera will be, because of the cost of film. I hope they have lots of success and earn the resources to create a truly innovative instant camera.
