SUMMARY
Polaroid has launched the Mod, a new analog instant camera designed for experimental photography. Its key feature is a mode dial around the lens offering four experimental settings, including double exposures and a "motion freeze" mode that combines long exposure with rear-curtain sync flash. These techniques, typically requiring manual camera control, are simplified to the level of scene modes on the Mod. While it lacks full manual control, it includes exposure compensation and flash disable options, with USB-C charging. The camera is priced at $169.99 / £149.99 and aims to appeal to both new and experienced photographers.
