Hello,
My loving sisters got me this for my birthday: A Polaroid Now Mandalorian edition instant camera.
As a kid in the late 70's early 80's I remember a white Polaroid One step we had at home. I have a few very old Polaroids in my collection including an SX-70 that needs some attention.
But anyways, since it is my birthday I'll do whatever I want and I wanted to do unboxing pictures instead of working today
Love it!
This camera is based on the current Polaroid One Step 2, a modern retro looking interpretation of the classic One Step Polaroid of the late 70's. One big change is that the original had the batteries in the film cartridge. This one has internal rechargeable battery via USB port. In theory this should make the cartridges less expensive (yeah right!). It also has a self timer. Interestingly, this special edition has no tripod socket like the regular. Go figure.
From what I have seen in online reviews, the image quality is superior to the old ones. So I'll let you know later today or tomorrow when I take it out.
One more thing: At the bottom it has an engraved quote from Edwin Land: "An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail" Edwin Land
Thanks,
