New Review: Polaroid Originals 600 Film (Late 2017)

October 28, 2017 By Dan Finnen

The Impossible Project is dead, long live Polaroid Originals. With a new brand, there’s also a big update across Impossible…er, Polaroid Originals’ product line. Polaroid Originals claims that there’s a whole new chemistry in their films, and sure enough, they look better than ever. The best part about the new films, however, has nothing to […]

New Review Alert: Canon G7X Mk II

October 15, 2017 By Dan Finnen

What’s this? A digital camera review? It’s true! I’ve had Canon Powershots since digital cameras first became a consumer-level thing in the early 2000s. Even though smartphones have largely taken over their turf, high-end raw-capable pocket cameras with large sensors are still quite handy. I’ve had a Canon S110 the past few years that I’ve […]

New Review: Fuji Instax Mini 70

August 9, 2017 By Dan Finnen

It’s not the high-end option, and it’s not the cheapest one either – it’s the Fuji Instax Mini 70! I had high hopes for this camera, but unfortunately it’s hobbled by some insane design choices. Check out the review for all the details!

New Review: Fuji Instax Mini 9

June 17, 2017 By Dan Finnen

Fujifilm is keeping the Instax momentum up with the new Instax Mini 9. Does it improve upon the wildly successful Instax Mini 8? Just barely. It’s the same camera, so those of you who already have a Fuji Instax Mini camera don’t need to worry about adding it to your collection unless you’re obsessed with […]

New Review Alert: Polaroid 680

April 22, 2017 By Dan Finnen

At long, long last, I’ve finally gotten my hands on the one glaring omission from my Polaroid camera lineup: the venerable Polaroid 680. The most advanced version of the original Edwin Land-designed folding Polaroid SLRs, the Polaroid 680 is an incredible camera. It’s a blast to use and worth every penny. Now, if only I […]

New Review Alert: Nikon F3

July 29, 2016 By Dan Finnen

I just posted a new review for Nikon’s old 35mm workhorse, the seemingly invincible F3. It was my first Nikon film camera, so it’s always had a special place in my heart. However, it’s a heavy, old fashioned thing, so it’s not for everyone. Check out my full review for all the details!

New Review Alert: Polaroid OneStep Flash Camera

May 17, 2015 By Dan Finnen

I’ve finally gotten my hands on a Polaroid camera I haven’t reviewed yet! Well… sorta. The Polaroid OneStep Flash Camera is nearly identical to the many other plastic 600 type box cameras Polaroid produced during the 80s and 90s. Like its brothers and sisters, it’s a worthy backup instant camera, but it’s not going to […]

April 20, 2015 By Dan Finnen

The Impossible Project is unleashing a whole mess of next generation instant films, and the first one I have up for review is their amazing B&W for 600 Generation 2.0. Improving on an already great instant film, Generation 2.0 brings faster development times and a high quality image. Read all about it in the full […]
