Polaroid Ends Production of Instant Film - End of an Era
After polarized film was first patented back in 1929, the Polaroid company opened its doors just a scant 8 years later. 11 years later, the first instant cameras hit the market in full force and continued in one form or another... until just last year. Now, Polaroid Corporation (a reformed version of the earlier company) announced to consumers and corporations everywhere that, due to marketplace conditions, it has discontinued almost all of its instant analogue hardware products.

The technology has been antiquated for a considerable time period now - I don't think I've even seen a Polaroid camera since I was a kid. Hard to compete in the digital age.
I honestly didn't even know they were still making film for those cameras. We had an SX-70 back in the 70's, but I thought that stuff died in the early 90's. huh?

My Dad showed me am old Polaroid camera he still has. It looks brand new and has a ton of extra "gadgets" with it. He said he got it the first year Polaroid came out. I wonder if there is any value in it? It's cool to have at any rate.
