Comments on: Saying goodbye to Polaroid instant film

Every once in a while we say goodbye to a technology that has been replaced by a demonstrably superior replacement, yet we still hold onto a bit of nostalgia for the old way.

I remember when one of my older sisters recieved a Polaroid One Touch for Christmas one year. We were all excited about the camera. The "instant picture" will be missed in this household also even though we haven't taken a "polaroid" in years.

There are some Law enforement agencies that still rely on Polaroids to collect evidence of crime scenes. I have heard there are some issues with cheap digital cameras not giving true black color not allowing for a representative picture to be taken.
I wonder if that is still an issue or not??

I'm with you chrisjesson! I gave my grandson a Polaroid One Touch for Christmas a couple of years ago and he loves it. He uses it all the time and is one of his favorite gifts. I know he's going to be upset when he won't be able to get film for it anymore. Too bad.
