Despite options from stalwart brands like Leica, Fujifilm, Lomography and IntantFlex, the first brand that comes to mind when we think about instant cameras is always Polaroid. The brand makes the best instant cameras out there. Despite taking a few years off, Polaroid is back with another new camera—the Polaroid OneStep+ i-Type Camera. The original OneStep from 1977 is the inspiration here, only this version has a bunch of modern tech under the hoop. High-quality standard and portrait lens. Precision step motor shutter. Vacuum discharge tube strobe. You expect all of these kinds of features from Polaroid. The surprising updates come from the Bluetooth connectivity that allow you to control the camera from an app on your phone. You can set self-timers, noise triggers, manually program the shutter, create double exposures, and even light paint.
