Impossible Project, the company that has helped prop Polaroid's abandoned instant film and instant film cameras, has announced its first 600-type instant film camera, and it comes with a digital twist.
Called the I-1 and available on May 10 for $300, the analog instant film camera is a modern take on old Polaroid cameras. Like all modern gadgets, the I-1 connects to an app via Bluetooth, which lets you manually adjust the the aperture, shutter speed and flash.

The camera and app were unveiled by Impossible Project CEO Oskar Smolokowski at the Bloomberg Design Conference 2016.
Unlike many instant film cameras that use regular batteries, the I-1 camera battery recharges via USB.
The instant film camera also has an LED flash ring around the lens, which can automatically calibrate for ambient light and distance.
