The Polaroid I-Zone Convertible is an instant camera and a further development of the Polaroid I-Zone. The design of the instant camera has become even more rounded and is therefore even more reminiscent of the old pocket film cameras. The color of the camera can be changed partly by removable panels. Hence the “convertible” in the name. The camera was built by Polaroid in the early 2000s.
In terms of functionality, the camera is very congruent with the normal Polaroid I-Zone. The camera has a fixed focus and also the exposure time cannot be changed. Depending on the light situation, you set the camera to the right weather icon. There is also a built-in flash. This is powered by two AA batteries.
A picture taken with the Polaroid I-Zone Convertible is 24 x 36 mm. The film cassette containing the integral film does not have a built-in battery, as known from the Polaroid 600 cameras. Therefore, there is also no automatic film ejection. The captured image must be pulled out of the camera, as was the case with pack film cameras back then. However, these films are no longer produced today.
If you want to take pictures with an instant camera today, the Instax Mini format might be an option.
