I, 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.
