Modern Analog Cameras

The Polaroid OneStep+ Combines Analog Film with Tech Capabilities

— August 31, 2018 — Tech
Following the release of the Polaroid OneStep 2 -- released in 2017 -- the iconic photography company is stepping up its analog camera selection with the Polaroid OneStep+. Much like the OneStep 2, this new analog camera utilizes the newly developed i-Type film but also features a host of upgrades. The upgrades include the ability to pair with a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. This gives the camera the ability to be remotely operated and allows the user to control various settings through the smartphone app.

The overall aesthetic of the Polaroid OneStep+ resembles the OneStep 2 and takes on a retro-inspired look. Unlike the OneStep 2, this new camera features a full black body with a decorative rainbow stripe in the center of the camera. The camera is currently the most expansive analog camera offered by Polaroid but comes in at just $160.
Trend Themes
1. Analog Film Cameras - The Polaroid OneStep+ combines analog film with tech capabilities, offering a new avenue for nostalgia and creativity in photography.
2. Smartphone Integration - The ability to pair with a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth opens up opportunities for remote operation and control of analog cameras, merging traditional and digital photography.
3. Retro-inspired Design - The retro-inspired look of the Polaroid OneStep+ taps into the current trend of vintage aesthetics, catering to consumers seeking a nostalgic experience.
Industry Implications
1. Photography Equipment - The introduction of the Polaroid OneStep+ presents opportunities for manufacturers to develop and improve analog film cameras that incorporate modern tech features.
2. Mobile Technology - The integration of analog cameras with smartphones and tablets creates opportunities for mobile technology companies to provide innovative camera control applications and software.
3. Fashion and Lifestyle - The demand for retro-inspired design in the Polaroid OneStep+ aligns with the current trend in fashion and lifestyle, opening up opportunities for collaborations and product extensions.
