I love the fact that they are making the film but 8 shots for 21 bucks! killer…
Digital is here to stay. I remeber my parents polaroid camera from 1970. It was cool at the time.
I wouldn’t be surprised by that too. The same could be said for those that are into super 8mm movie cameras and want to shoot something on a tangible medium that film provided.
New film has just showed up from them! I wish them good luck.
loool, fuji still makes, peel apart instant film that works with polaroid’s earlier (but not earliest) cameras that is actually way better than anything polaroid ever made, and a company has bought polaroid’s factory in the netherlands, and is going to have (ridiculously overpriced) film (the “shake it” type) on the market next year
I think they should keep making Polaroid film
my heart`s aching, bye bye polaroid
The website mentioned above is for real and represents a group that has INTENTIONS of reinventing Polaroid film and producing it in the Netherlands.
REJOICE SHUTTERBUGS! POLAROIDS BEEN SAVED the-impossible-project(dot)com
That *******… “reinventing and changing with the times to bring something else to the table that shows the rich legacy of Edwin Land and Polaroid to the next generation.”
Perhaps Polaroid was good enough to bring to the next generation. I have, from experience, noticed that something old gets more attention and interest than anything new. I brought a Polaroid camera to school, and students begged me to get film for it.
please produce them again, pleeeeease!!!!
It is sad that may never know.
If anything it ruins what their original integrity had been (much like Western Union was once into doing telegrams before focusing their interests on money transfers).
They have no heart, but it sounds like some group out there have so far gotten hold of a Polaroid factory, so we may see something come out of it after all (rather ask Fuji to step in too, but I don’t think they’re ever that interested at all).

Something about seeing the name alone on a TV does not make me think of TV’s at all, it belongs on instant cameras. Already the new digital cameras are a joke if they’re going for the type that are basically disposable stickers.
Good, that’ll show him for ruining our fun.
Kodak was making instant cameras and film, for a bit Polaroid sued them,
so when Polaroid, started making 35mm film, Kodak sued them , yet they can make 35mm cameras,
i have one , and it’s a pretty good camera, for no zoom or anything, , but it came with some other film in it,
LOL “poilorode”
Seriously, though, why would they discontinue the film? I mean, companies still make 35mm film-and you can even still buy 35mm CAMERAS (but sadly some big-label companies have stopped making 35mm cameras) (on a side note, I saw that “poilorode” actually made 35mm cameras at one point and was suprised that they did)
That would be like if apple released a new music format on itunes that was incompatible with older ipods, and then ceased to offer the “old” format!

Integral film might make a comeback!
I have one. I only got 10 pictures left……..
You don’t seem to understand.
Many of us photographers already have switched over to the FUJI Packfilms. In my opinion the pictures that are produced by FP100-C packfilm looks sharper and much more color accurate than Polaroids 690 packfilm.
The only reason why I moan and ***** about the end of polaroid film is because they have discontinued there beloved consumer-use 600 film.
This stuff is irreplaceable, and no other manufacture seems like there going to produce it.
i have always wanted a polaroid izone but never knew where to get it. and now that they’re not making it anymore, i’ll never know the feeling of taking an instant picture. ***** this new owner, he’s killing off a culture here! does he even care that the future generation will never know the nostalgia of using a polaroid, including me?
There must have been a better way you could have phrased this.
For photographers – both amateur and professional – who have used Polaroid products for many years, this loss is heartfelt.
The constant begging to keep polaroid in on instant film is just simply stupid. **** polaroid! Fuji has been making instant films for years, even supplied polaroid with much of its stock anyway! Let this idiot go market the hell out of the name, we don’t need the name, we just need good instant film, and fuji is already doing it folks. Stop bitching, stop moaning, stop begging, go buy what already exist! RETARDS.
POLAROID NEWS – 2008
“Dec. 19 (Bloomberg) — Polaroid Corp., the pioneer of instant photography, sought bankruptcy protection for the second time in seven years, blaming an alleged $2 billion fraud at its parent company Petters Group Worldwide LLC.”
“Petters Groups founder, Thomas Petters, was arrested Oct. 3 on charges of mail fraud, wire fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors accused him of siphoning money from business ventures since 1995 to support an extravagant lifestyle.”
I know right? That pissed me off when he said that. He has no right. He’s taking away Land’s legacy, not respecting it one bit.
