The Latest News:

Polaroid’s Brand New Flip Camera

Polaroid just dropped the Polaroid Flip, their latest instant camera that’s all about making analog photography feel simple, fun, and a little futuristic. It’s got a flippable lid that protects the lens and gives the camera its signature look, and inside you’ll find their most powerful flash yet—strong enough to light a subject up to 4 meters away. Handy for night shots or dim lighting in general.

It uses a four-lens rotary system that automatically switches based on how far your subject is—so you don’t have to think about focus. Close-up selfies or sweeping landscapes? It should all be covered. Focus is powered by old-school sonar, meaning it works even in total darkness. There’s also a little LED in the viewfinder that warns you if something’s too dark, too bright, or too close, the aim here being not to waste film

There’s a display for settings, smartphone app control, USB-C charging, and support for i-Type and 600 film. Pricing is at $199.99 in the U.S./€219 in Europe and it ships April 29th.

Sony Released Two New Flashes

Sony just quietly released two new flash units for Alpha mirrorless shooters: the HVL-F46RMA and HVL-F28RMA, which are basically refreshed versions of the older F46RM and F28RM. At first glance, not much seems different (they just added an “A” to the names), but the big upgrade is better support for the insanely fast shutter speeds of cameras like the Sony A9 III—we’re talking up to 1/80,000 sec with high-speed sync.

The F46RMA is the beefier of the two, with a guide number of 46, TTL and manual flash modes, wireless control up to 98 feet, and a modeling light. It recycles in about 0.1 to 2.5 seconds and can crank out up to 320 full-power flashes on a set of 4 AA batteries. It’s available for preorder at $448.

The smaller F28RMA is more compact but still solid. It has a guide number of 28, supports HSS and multi-flash modes, tilts from 0° to 120°, and handles up to 15 flashes across 5 groups via a built-in 2.4GHz transceiver. Also dust- and moisture-resistant, it’s priced at $248.
