Update, Saturday 29 May 2010. Here's a very amusing video from the UK that seems to do a fair job evaluating the Polaroid 300.
This is the Fujifilm Instax Mini 7. Amazon will sell it to you for $67.
Just below is the new Polaroid 300, priced at $90.
There is more than just a resemblance even if the photos are at different angles.
Amazon will sell you a twin pack of Fuji film of 20 exposures for $13.75, or 69ยข a shot.
Polaroid will sell you a single pack of 10 exposures for $9.99 or about $1.00 each.
Wow! Talk about stupendous? You can get a photo this image size --
They call it credit card size, but they must include a lot of border.
Compare that with the cheapest Polaroid camera ever made,
The Swinger --
And that was nothing compared to what square format Polaroid cameras would do --
These were much sharper using Polaroid Type 87 film. Yes, I know. It's me and I apologize.
I don't have photos of other subjects on those particular films, never my favorites.
These were the best IMO: the original Polaroid rectangular format film
in black and white and color --
And this is the image size of the original SX-70 prints --
Our dear cat, Joyce Ann, who loved sinks.
So, let's see that size again --
Hmmm. An image size of 1.8 inches by 2.4. That's 4.6 by 6.2 cm.
How's that for progress?
Blessed are the marketers of this world for they shall inherit even our minds.
