Excellent (when used as instructed)
5 of 5 found this helpful I came across knowledge of Impossible earlier this year and was intrigued by the cult following that instant photography still has in today's digital world. As a teenager in the mid 2000s, I was a Polaroid enthusiast myself, almost to the point where I was literally the male version of the main character in the video game Life is Strange. The only thing that forced my hand into digital was when I left my camera on a bus and had it UPS'd back to me... in non-working condition.
Fast forward to today - I rediscovered the hobby after receiving an old SX-70 SLR from my grandfather. I read reviews on Impossible's film and determined that there were mixed results, often dependent on the level of experience that the other reviewers had. I gave it a chance and bought the film... with mixed results. I was used to the 600, the one I had over 10 years ago, and the SX-70 was an entirely different camera (and film) to get the feel for. Because this is NOT exact to Polaroid, it will take some adaptation and getting used to before you develop habits that will result in excellent photos. I have found that the more I use it, the better I get at it.
After purchasing another 600 from ebay, I began to give the 600 film a try. For the most part, it is exactly as I remembered... except that it takes longer to develop. Additionally, you MUST remember to shield it from light immediately after exposure, and place it in a dark place (Preferably face down somewhere). Try not to even peek at the picture for at least 30 minutes. The instructions and tips from Impossible were quite clear to me but let me summarize:
1. Get a feel for your camera. Oftentimes the problem is the camera's operator. When taking a photo, remain still, and try to make sure your subjects remain still as well. Otherwise, you will have a blurry picture (this was the case with Polaroid also... this isn't Impossible's fault. That's the nature of the beast). PATIENCE IS KEY to a beautiful photo!
2. Protect from the elements. Extreme temperatures (Hot and cold) are harmful to the film's chemistry. Keep unopened cartridges in the refrigerator. Keep your camera's lens and rollers clean.
3. Environment. Be mindful of lighting. Its better to have the light behind you rather than in front of you. If your camera does not have automatic flash, make sure there is adequate lighting. If you only see silhouettes in your viewfinder, your picture will be exactly like that, if not worse.
Polaroid instant photos are a work of art, and it takes patience and vigilance to do it right. It is definitely not for the lazy or impatient. I have been thoroughly impressed with Impossible's efforts to keep this almost lost art alive, and I look forward to seeing what they do in the coming years. My only con is that I hope that the price comes down over time and that they can perfect the film chemistry enough to fit 10 photos in the cartridges. Until then, I am liking what I am seeing, and I hope others do as well.

High capacity. Low price
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this drive to consolidate media from two 320GB and one 500GB hard drive (all of which were bursting at the seams in space) onto a single medium, while preparing for future additions to my digital media collection.
If this is your reason for buying this drive, do not let the 5400RPM scare you. It took mine 4 days to format (it is a HUGE drive, 2.72TB after formatting), and quite a while to copy all of my media over, but now that the media is there, it is easy to maintain and easy to use. You will need to convert the format to GPT instead of MBR (Which is limited to 2.2TB) in order to format as a single drive. It is not recommended as an operating system drive (as explained on reviews elsewhere for this drive). But I am trusting all of my media to it. After all, the lower speed means less wear and tear on the hardware and could add to the drive's longevity. If you are looking for a place to store a large volume of media, while looking for a capacity that will not be considered obsolete in the near future, then this drive is for you.

Looking for an affordable portable music player? This one fits the bill.
Works exactly as intended. The only thing I have an issue with is that it is very difficult to get videos converted into the proper format that makes them playable on the Walkman (design issue). But overall, when that feature works, it works, and no problems with MP3s or FM radio. It was a good buy, and functions as intended.
