So...a Polaroid with a memory card docked in...you can have your instant gratification via the instant print but then have them all backed up on a memory card for use in other ways...I know it sucked ass to have a beloved Polaroid pic is next to me in my car after a spontaneous shot or whatever then either someone sits on it...something is spilled on it etc. Tada! It is on a back up! Woot...it's all good. That is an idea.

polaroid film is used a lot in regular photography to frame shots and check lighting. if it looks good on a polaroid, chances are, it will look good with your $25,000 digital body analogue front end studio camera.

They also use it for movies to frame shots. The whole "take pictures with a polaroid" just to take pictures is such a tiny subset of it's overall use, that's why people were hoarding the film, not because you can scan the pictures and make your friends think you're all RETRO.

seriously, the whole point of bringing back an analog camera isnt so you can put all your cute pics on facebook, that is not the point. They are bringing back an icon, a legend. Books have been written about these revolutionary cameras, if you want it all easy and even more instant just buy a regular digital camera, and put the polaroid template on a picture in photoshop or something.

Perfect, there you go guys, seems like the camera you want has been out for a few months. A 5 megapixel digital camera with the Polaroid name with a built in printer for your digital photos.

The Impossible Project is about Analog Instant Photography.

Analog.

The smart thing to do would be to make digital polaroids. You snap a photo and then go into your photos and print all the pictures you want on classic polaroid film, all from the camera itself. I know I for one would love the option to instantly print, but would miss being able to upload it on facebook if there were no digital features.

to shay:

use a scanner.

why would you buy a polaroid camera, if you want digital photos?

Yes margot. You could do that. But Polaroid photographs are hard to photograph because of how reflective the surface is. Now if Polaroid included something as simple as a micro card to their camera you could potentially just take out the card, and upload the images onto your computer.

to carrie:

1. take a polaroid picture.
2. let it develop.
3. take a digital picture of the polaroid picture.
4. upload that to facebook.
