IMHO it's a feature that instant photography users are not interested at all.

I know but this is a huge amount of money for a niche product. I'm not sure they're equipped to run their business like Teenage Engineering or another niche thing targeting the very wealthy

Anybody who can afford the film can afford this camera. And it’s already the top seller in its category at B&H.

They have a 'regular' one that's $120. Maybe this is the Teenage Engineering model.

Don't bet against nostalgia though. There are loads of 30-somethings that grew up with this, have a family of their own now, and can afford this.

It's like someone asking for a gasoline version of Tesla.

Everything old is new again, nostalgic for those old enough and exciting and hip for the (cool) kids who never knew Polaroid before digital.

You could probably say the same about a certain brand of personal computer too. It costs an absolute fortune, then misses some of the basic features "computers do". Upgrade the RAM? No. "people don't want that". Play video games? Nah (or maybe). Have an all around dumbed down garbage UX that literally does things opposite "just because"? Yep.
