Halide VS Impossible I-1 Instant Camera

You could also use a third party camera app that skips the processing, like Halide or Moment. They give you a lot of manual control. Source: 12 months ago

Best way around this is to use a third party camera app like Halide. Source: about 1 year ago

I really like to use Halide for situations where I want more control over the camera, and it will take RAW images to be edited later. Source: about 1 year ago

Halide is a third party camera app that gives you significantly more manual control over the camera - e.g. You get to set ISO, shutter speed, and focus manually. Source: about 1 year ago

To find the RAW feature you need to do two things: Go to Settings -> Camera -> toggle Apple ProRAW on Then in the Camera app there will be a "RAW" button that you can tap on to enable RAW capture Third party camera apps like Halide (https://halide.cam) focus on just using the RAW capabilities by default. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Polaroids, these days, are really Impossible Project, rebranded as Polaroid. They also now have cameras that shoot different format sizes, but you are no longer limited to using vintage cameras. You can do the full-sized Polaroids, but consistency on the film batch-to-batch may not be as good as with Fujifilm. Source: almost 2 years ago

That said, if you really truly want oldtimey Polaroid feel and square prints, I would forego Instax and take a chance on the new Polaroid (fka the Impossible Project) cameras. The main issue will be the expense and consistency of the film. Fuji's much better, but the prints are tiny in comparison to full-sized Polaroids, even the square and wide formats.

If you care more about the quality of the instant film print, then I'd say go look at the current Polaroid cameras (rebranded Impossible Project products, really). Source: over 2 years ago

I bought it here, but I think mine was limited edition. Source: over 2 years ago

If you're looking for something more in the $100 price range, maybe consider getting a new Polaroid or a Fuji Instax printer for her smartphone. Instant film/polaroid nostalgia can be fun, and this gear is brand new, and relatively low cost. Source: over 2 years ago
