i have a samsung digital camera right now that cost around 100 dollars. it beats any 100 dollar camera in range because it takes pictures very clear and fast. dont bother with those canon and nixon from costco because they are junk, all blurry and stuff.

Your comment just reminded me that i still have a polaroid camera in my shed and i have looked it out and guess what it still worked. The image is a bit iffy that it develops but considering the film i have is way out of date.

I have spotted a couple on ebay today when i did a search, so it looks like there could be quite a few around still.

Thanks for the nostalgia.

I’ve either owned or used just about every Polaroid system, from the old 2-1/4×3 1/4 peel-apart black and white, to evidence and mugshot cameras,to the SX-70. There’s something about the quality of the images that can’t be duplicated — something to do with the depth of the emulsion on the paper, I suspect.

I’ll definitely be trying Polandroid. Sounds like fun, and I have several images in mind that could benefit from the treatment.

As to the title (a bit misleading, that), I’m sticking with my Pentax K10D and Canon G-7 until they die. I expect the Pentax to last for years, and it will be replaced with another Pentax. The G7 may not last as long, but it will definitely be replaced with another G-series, or the equivalent at that time.

For my purposes, the moisture- and dustproof Pentax is great, and the Canon is the finest point and shoot for serious amateurs. Of course, there are the Leicas…
