    The photography community needs more videos like this. Less "this one is better than that one", more "these are different tools with different capabilities".

    20 years using my SX70s, i'm still not ready to change to the I-2, in fact i don't see why i should change as the SX70 is my perfect friend and fits very well with the images i create with.

    Been using a SX-70 type camera for 30 years, and now the new I-2 is a welcomed addition to the tool belt. While both have similarities, just like Ben says, they stand out in their own respective ways. I say, if you have to choose one, figure out your budget for camera and film, and then choose the one you feel more drawn to. Then shoot the hell out of it and get super proficient. Once you have shooting down on either camera, it'll be a easier adjustment to switching between the two.

    • @InAnInstant
      @InAnInstant  10 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Good point, the most important thing is to stick to it if you’ve got one, because they’re similarly great at photomaking. The one you learn and love is the one you’re going to make the best work with. I personally was surprised to find myself loving the I-2 so much, considering its style of build, as I’m a massive SX-70 devotee. But the heart mind want what they want sometimes.

  • @eklipsoverda
    @eklipsoverda 2 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

    I've currently got one of each. I don't use my SX-70 often because it's a late 1973 model and I don't want to rack up miles on it, but it's fantastic to use. One additional strength of the I-2 is the color rendition of its lens. Between my I-2 and my 50mm Pentax prime, I've been paying more attention to optical color rendition recently.

    I think you now have to add the Lomo Instax Wide with Glass into the mix as a low price alternative to either polaroid. You have reviewed it and it is worth a mention for the informal amateur. That being said, I miss Land Pack film for my older Polaroids, and I miss Spectra Film for the Polaroid Spectra. I don't like that Sx70 lacks true manual control.

  • @MyPersonalPlayground

    Great video! I really like my I-2 and I love my SX-70 and if I could only have one, it would be the SX-70. The I-2 feels disposable in the way that I know it will be a brick with time and that in some way lessens my attachment and value of it. That said, I'm glad I have it and I would love to see an I-3 that is equally as good but a replacement battery and manual focus. That would be a pretty big game changer IMO.

    • @InAnInstant
      @InAnInstant  11 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Good takes for sure, thank goodness we’re in the universe where we’re allowed to have both. But, I agree the I-2 does not immediately seem like the most durable piece of kit, hopefully the parts and services continued to be offered in infinitum. And dang, thinking about the I-3 already! We’ll see what they do there, I could envision the I-2 being sort of a one-off, but would love to see further iterations.

    I got my start with Polaroid with a plasticky late 90s unit that took 600 film. Found it ten years ago at a thrift store for a dollar. Yes, a singular dollar. Couldn’t tell you what model it was but I do recall the lens and integrated flash could fold down and hide away in the body of the camera, though nowhere near as nearly as an SX-70. I’ve since moved to 35mm and have a love for SLR type cameras. If I had the money to burn, I would definitely pick up an SX-70 modded to run 600 film.

    I have the SLR 680 and I just got the i2 last week. I have to say it's so far the i-2 is so much easier and looks better than the SLR 680. The only issue which isn't even a big deal, is the bulky ness of the i2. I haven't tried the flash sync yet, in my studio, but that's what I got it for and I'm really excited to try that out

    Good comparison. I still own 3 SX-70 cameras including 1 with sonar. They have not been used for many years and I find the MiNT flashbar underwhelming. Thus, my personal comparison is between the SLR-680 and the I-2 and with those 2 I want to continue. The I-2 reminds me most of my favorite Polaroid Image 1200 (Spectra). Too bad Spectra has become a dead format.

  • @zipper85
    @zipper85 19 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

    I now own both of these. Bought the I-2 on Black friday. I can not decide which one I prefer. The SX-70 has the cool party trick of folding and the retro look. The I-2 is more reliable and more flexible because you can natively put any Polaroid film in it and you got manual controls. Both great cameras. Now we need a really good Instax WIDE camera with manual controls and a similar quality lens. 😅

  • @jeremyholden72

    @ralphbrandi 11 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

    I have both, and I have to go with the SX-70 (actually the Mint SLR-670, but who’s counting) for one specific reason: the ability to shoot close up. I do a lot of my Polaroid work at a pretty small scale, and the ability to pop on the close-up lens and focus down even closer than 10.4 inches (I think it gets down to 5 with the close-up lens) is what enables me to work at the scale I prefer. I like the I-2, but because of the fact that it’s not an SLR and the fact that adding a close-up lens won’t really work because of the way focus works with the camera makes it not useful for this aspect of what I do. I did find some interesting stuff in this video making the case for the I-2 as a better low light camera, and I find that compelling and will keep that in mind.

    • @InAnInstant
      @InAnInstant  11 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Totally agree on the close-up aspect, those 5 inches really make a difference (😂), but it does make a massive impact and with all filters considered it is always a reason to pack the SX-70 🫡

    Very much agree! I got my SX-70 from a neighbor for free but a few months into it it failed and I spent $250 for an overhaul. I love shooting with it but I eventually switched to using mostly the I-2 because poor availability of SX-70 film, cheaper I-type, didn’t want to convert and ND filter didn’t cut it for me, more sustainable (I feel bad trashing the battery in each pack) and most of all, the fact that the sx-70 was still not super reliable and out of 8 photos 3 usually jammed in the camera =(

    Great video, Ben! It is really spot on! 👏👏👏 I had a chance to try out the i-2 recently at a Polaroid event with Alan Marcheselli, and it is super sharp! Now I feel like I’m missing out on the option of manual mode with my 680. That said, being used to an SLR, I found using the i-2 viewfinder a bit tricky, but that is something one gets used to quickly. One thing I wish Polaroid could improve on the next generation is the control buttons. I had no idea one has to click through ALL the modes to go back to the previous one, and then to wait in between setting the aperture and the shutter speed in manual mode. I found it so confusing, being used to old-school controls on Polaroid 180 and the MiNT cameras ✨

      The shot cannot be accomplished without the prerequisites discussed in the video. A TON of sample images are on screen in this video identifying which camera they came from, which did you prefer?

    3:46 i hate to be that guy... But the I-2 is NOT a rangefinder camera
    The Leica CL you own is a rangefinder. This is not.
    Rangefinders use two converging images that overlap in the viewfinder to confirm focus. The I-2 DOES have a tiny distance marker in the viewfinder, but this is NOT the same as a rangefinder.
    Polaroid seem to have decided to make up their own definition of what a rangefinder is for the release of this camera...

      I’m sorry sir but you are NOT correct once again (embarrassed for you). The LiDAR unit is a rangefinder, and just as the Rollei 35AF could be denoted, these are indeed rangefinder cameras. Don’t go home tonight, I pissed in your bed! (For anyone else reading this I’m just palling around with Jake, but he is indeed wrong)

      ​@@InAnInstant I'll give you like a half point for an excruciating technicality
      But just because the LIDAR works using a similar mechanism to a rangefinder (converging beams of laser) doesn't make it a true rangefinder
      Earlier 35mm point and shoots from the 1980s used infrared in the same way, and pictorial markers to denote distance
      Does that make the Pentax PC35AF a rangefinder?
