    I loved the instant polaroid, since I always loved watching it develop. Bring it back damnit! There is nothing wrong with not being that instant. It’s really only a few minutes. What’s really a few minutes of your time?

    The news idiots get it wrong again, The problem isn’t that digital is faster at producing a print; it’s not, really. The problem is that you can’t email or upload or text a Polaroid picture until you take it home and scan it in, first. A cellphone is much better at that. If Polaroid film makes a comeback, it’ll be a niche market like lomography art. Which would be fine; better than no Polaroid at all.

    it’s unique, it’s real, it’s a memory, it’s a work of art. i really want them. but due to limited stock of films and whopping prices, im stuck with fuji instax. it’s pretty good though.

    these polaroid cameeras are the only ones legal in the court of law so they have to be getting it from somewhere

    Fading memories, eh? I have many shots from the mid 80’s that look the same as the day I took them. By the way, I havn’t seen any digital camera that can come close to the speed that a poloroid yields a print. What the smeg were they talking about? Besides, an apples and oranges comparison.

    what would also be nice is if they bring back vinyl records. You can’t even compare it to digital itunes music. I mean when you have that record in that hand you feel like you own that band and at least in my opinion I just love the quality in it… makes it very warm.

    I mean does everything have to end up digital?

    I think this whole thing with a Polaroid revival is pretty sketchy.

    Since they’re trying to re-invent the film we knew to work, I am very suspect for now.

    They need to make a quality product with a reliable distribution network or at least a first class, user-friendly website. So far, I’m not seeing it.

    will the product be backward compatible with old polaroid cameras?

  14. chaweemek 28 April 2010 at 06:59 #

    polaroid is comming back. look up for “the impossible project”. the 1st produced lot is on sale now.

    The entire company was bankrupt, and the former owner (now in Federal court) wanted to discontinue Polaroid fim in order to drive the PoGo market (which is how these market transitions usually “develop” — once over 30% of the population move to a new product, companies price UP the outdated product to drive the market — which makes no sense from a classical free market perspective.) So it’s probably a good thing that the film making process and one of the factories was sold to hobbyists.

    No, what’s old news is that Polaroid was bankrupt. The new news is that another company has taken bought & downsized manufacturing process and inspired them to re-issue instant film cameras. Altho the real question is, will they issue new updated models or the same old models at higher prices to appeal to nostalgia aficionados only? I wonder, if they can do this why couldn’t Kodak farm out Kodachrome (which admittedly became a historical process decades ago)? The same company might want to look.

    The Polaroid PoGo digital camera sells for about $200 with a built-in printer that produces 2×3 inch borderless ink jet prints.

    Google ” the-impossible-project (DOT) com ” to learn what’s new with relaunching the manufacture of Polaroid film in a single factory in the Netherlands. Availability is anticipated for Summer 2010.

    Basically they are trying to reinvent the chemistry of Polaroid instant analog film to produce film for some models of vintage Polaroid cameras.

    was the Polaroid PoGo introduced to sorta replace the instant camera and film??

  19. teknoboy18 11 May 2010 at 00:55 #

    They just announced that they will be putting the Polaroid OneStep camera in production again, go and google “the impossible project”

    This is old news. In 2009 Polaroid came out with the new Polaroid Pogo digital camera. It prints a ready picture in less than a minute.

    I THINK IT’S FAST ENOUGH!
    I want Polaroid back!

    WAHHHH :( ((
    NO THIS IS HORRIBLE!!!

    Get a decent inkjet printer and it’ll cost less in the long run than buying polaroid film. From the looks of things, the film costs as much as the ink I get for my printer.

    This is a prime example of the downside of progress.

    dude the impossible project is planning on selling the film for more than it’s going for now (they’ve hinted at pricing one pack around $30) get a pack film camera (like the automatic 100, the 350, 360, or 450) the fuji film is amazing and under 10 bucks for a pack of 10
