IMHO it's a feature that instant photography users are not interested at all.

- primordialsoup 3y agoIt's like someone asking for a gasoline version of Tesla.
- nntwozz 3y agoEverything old is new again, nostalgic for those old enough and exciting and hip for the (cool) kids who never knew Polaroid before digital.
- ricardobayes 3y agoYou could probably say the same about a certain brand of personal computer too. It costs an absolute fortune, then misses some of the basic features "computers do". Upgrade the RAM? No. "people don't want that". Play video games? Nah (or maybe). Have an all around dumbed down garbage UX that literally does things opposite "just because"? Yep.
- superchroma 3y agoI know but this is a huge amount of money for a niche product. I'm not sure they're equipped to run their business like Teenage Engineering or another niche thing targeting the very wealthy
- 0_____0 3y agoThey have a 'regular' one that's $120. Maybe this is the Teenage Engineering model.
- copperx 3y agoTeenage Engineering stuff seems completely impractical. Is that the appeal? Take the record player. It looks cool. But only plays 7" records. Through built in speakers. You can use external speaker, but through a 3.5mm plug? What's the use of something like that? Maybe the idea is to use it as decoration? I don't get it. All their products are like that.

- spookie 3y agoWoah! Wait, do they do the same thing for other products as well?
- dagw 3y agoMaybe the idea is to use it as decoration? Basically. If you look at Teenage Engineering as a high end fashion brand, it makes a lot more sense.
- iNerdier 3y agoThe I-1, the model previous to this was designed by teenage engineering. They know what they’re doing.
- 0_____0 3y agoOh no kidding? That's super cool, I didn't know that. And agreed!--
- Finnucane 3y agoAnybody who can afford the film can afford this camera. And it’s already the top seller in its category at B&H.
- ricardobayes 3y agoDon't bet against nostalgia though. There are loads of 30-somethings that grew up with this, have a family of their own now, and can afford this.
