He doesn't understand wy they don't make them anymore....

My photographer friends love and hold on to them (and the film) like hoarders.

They don't have the old one, but they do have (or at least had) a digital one that prints itty bitty pictures on the spot. Would he go for that as a stand-in?

I found my polaroid on Ebay a few years ago for a few bucks. And I bought the film online as well. We used it for our wedding.

I just found a polaroid camera at a thrift store for $5. The film is kind of pricey.

They do have cameras that print instant photos on ZINK paper.

They came out with a digital one a couple years ago but it is kind of expensive.

My dad worked for Polaroid. My entire childhood is document in instant pictures.

Fiji has one. My friend just got it. It's white and looks like a Japanese marshmallow.
