Is the Polaroid I-2 worth it?

If you want the sharpest lens and full manual control in a new Polaroid, yes. If you mainly want cheap instant snaps, the Now+ costs far less.

What film does the Polaroid I-2 use?

It takes i-Type and 600 film. Both are widely sold, and 600 film works with the camera's exposure controls.

How is it different from the Polaroid Now+?

The I-2 adds a sharper 3-element lens, LiDAR autofocus, manual shutter and aperture control and a light meter. It is also larger and much more expensive.

Does the Polaroid I-2 have a rechargeable battery?

Yes. It has a built-in rechargeable battery that charges over USB-C, so you don't buy disposable batteries.

Does it have autofocus and flash?

Yes. It uses LiDAR autofocus and has a built-in flash.
