The Polaroid Impulse doesn't need you to swing up a front section to expose the lens/flash. Instead, it has a button on top that pops up the flash and uncovers the lens. This makes the camera smaller and it stays about the same size when using. This version of the Impulse even has a slider on top to turn on/off the close up lens (for taking pictures of items between 2 and 4 feet away).
The flash is powered from the battery in the film pack so you don't have to worry about leaking batteries. This Polaroid can use expired film or brand new from The Impossible Project (600 style is available in a variety of frame colors).
After cleaning this camera (rollers, etc...), I put in a new pack of film and shot photos around the office area. The Polaroid print next to the camera is one taken with this camera. The lens cover, view finder rubber and neck strap are all in great shape.
The Green faceplate is a bit of upcycling I did when I had the camera apart. The body blue is the natural color the camera had when Polaroid made it. Since I take personal pride in all cameras I sell, please note there are three small black marks on the blue body, but no scratches or scrapes. Fun camera to take out and shoot with or just have on the display shelf!
