#2It's still not clear if the lens is made of glass like the SX-70 or the SLR-680.

#3700 euros, oh my goodness!
I would honestly expect it to be able to capture digital versions of the images too for that money.

IMHO it's a feature that instant photography users are not interested at all.

I know but this is a huge amount of money for a niche product. I'm not sure they're equipped to run their business like Teenage Engineering or another niche thing targeting the very wealthy

#6For that price? I have no words.

#7I don't really get how this gets made. Instant cameras do not cost $500+

They have a 'regular' one that's $120. Maybe this is the Teenage Engineering model.

#10I, for one, love the innovation in film technology. Yes, most of it is not new - printing polaroids has been around for decades and the rest of the camera looks like it was salvaged from digital cameras in the last 10 years.
This style of photography is just the complete opposite of what we'll all grown to expect from cameras. We expect them to have microscopic resolution so we can view the photos on 5 inch wide screens. We expect to click one button, and then spend hours tweaking the photo in arbitrary ways until we get an effect that would have been achieved if the aperture was set slightly wider.
The tech is pretty meh and it's probably overpriced, but that's entirely besides the point.
