Depressed about the upcoming demise of Polaroid's instant cameras?
Then now would be the time to get up, buy a soon-to-be-vintage-geek camera and a crap-load of film, and quit whining about it! I'm planning on grabbing an old Polaroid, stockpiling some film, and snapping away before it's too late.
Though Amazon has newer models of Polaroids like this One600, I much prefer this old-school looker, pictured here (plus it's about a $200 difference).
Summer is the perfect time to lug this Polaroid everywhere and take some cute pics, and get in your nostalgia time before it's too late. If anything, it'll be a great relic to show your kids in the future, so don't wait — unless you love being gouged on eBay!
And if you already have a Polaroid and film and are wondering when your film will be discontinued, get the chart when you read more.

I WANT ONE!
1i'll pass. that thing is huge and i'm a small package carrier! but seeing it reminds me of my uncle fats during childhood! memories, like the corners of my mind....
2I've always wanted a polaroid! Maybe now's the time to get it, but question, do polaroid pictures always fade with time?
3They still make these. I thought they would have discontinue this by now!
4As a photographer, I'm very sad about the loss of polaroid.
I've found good prices on film on this Drillspot site:

Are you flippin kidding me. Mine was a lot cheaper than 200 bucks too by the way. Anyways guess I better stock up on some film, buts its so expensive!
6that sucks, i have a spectra, i guess i'll have to stock up.
7im happy as long as polaroid makes some sort of instant camera.
Polaroids are like little paintings compared to digital pics. Too bad the film is getting so expensive.
8To Annabella: No, Polaroids don't fade. I have tons of old Polaroids (15 yrs?), and they still look great! The only problem with Polaroids is everyone fighting over who gets to keep it
9I better hurry and get one!
10Don't forget Fuji has their own line of "polaroids" as a photographer fuji "polaroid' film is cheaper than the polaroid brand for test shots! but this is still very sad the day is almost approaching.
