I was blogging from the Polaroid booth in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas convention center for a while today, because the company was so kind as to provide us tired bloggers with a few couches to sit on. I was seated next to two women who were shooting showgoers with the new Polaroid 300. Everyone seemed genuinely baffled at the notion that the camera they were holding wasn’t digital.
Film cameras in this day and age? Yep. The Polaroid is an honest-to-goodness throwback to the instant film cameras that helped the company capture the imagination of the public. The camera takes shots roughly the size of business cards. Once taken, it takes about a moment for them to develop.
The 300 has four image settings and an automatic flash. You can pick one up now for about $90–not bad, but as always, the film is where they get you. It’s about $10 for a back of 10 images.
