Another instant camera??

Zero details, and it's Petapixel, so who knows 😁 If it takes Polaroid (née Impossible) film, then it's still too expensive for me to consider 😕

It doesn't sound like a cheap plastic imitation, they are using aluminum.  But it's much more expensive than a real SX-70.  I won't be getting one, hardly use the two SX70's that I have.

I saw this yesterday.
Here's their original blog post https://10art.cc/10design/1730/
One thing's for sure, it won't be cheap.
It's probably going to be a Polaroid compatible camera, they say it includes a lithium battery (which I hope will be user replaceable unlike the Pola I-2).
But personally, I really hope it will take the Instax square as it's probably the most I can really afford.
