I've got to be honest, I'm pretty biased when it comes to Polaroid products. I've got a couple of old Polaroid cameras from the '70s on the shelf behind me and I've loved shooting with some of their modern offerings. Nevertheless, I don't shoot with them much. I have some pretty rare film stock for my Polaroid in the fridge that I have been saving for a special occasion; my best friend got married, my son was born, my son had his first birthday — it's still chilling.
That said, I bought my girlfriend a Fujifilm Instax to sate our desire for taking instant, physical pictures, and we've used that a lot. The Polaroid I-2 is really a premium instant camera, more in line with the price of the original Polaroid camera in 1948, which adjusted for inflation would be $1,138.41 in today's money. The I-2 is nearly half that price, at $599, but given that it is no longer cutting-edge technology, that's still a hefty price tag.
I think a lot of people are going to struggle to justify that purchase unless they are either a) wealthy, or b) really in to instant photography. What do you think?
