Polaroid's Triumphant Battle Back From Extinction

GeekSugar — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 03:50:18 -0700

I couldn't be happier to know that there will be another chance to pick up a Polaroid One Step and a packet of instant film next year. After Polaroid announced that the instant film camera would be put out to pasture back in 2008, there was an uprising of epic proportions - fans did not want to let go of the beloved medium. In a digital world, there's something comforting about capturing the moment with such a low tech and vintage device. Check out the death and subsequent revival of the Polaroid instant camera in this slideshow, then join our Vintage Geek group to share your favorite retro gadgets!

GeekSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:27:04 -0700

Can you believe that this stunning photo was taken with a cell phone's built-in camera? And it wasn't even the camera on an iPhone or a BlackBerry, but a 2-megapixel camera on an LG Versa cell phone. I have to say, the entries in our Cool Capture group continue to impress me!

One of the latest breathtaking submissions comes from reader tlmort13. She says:

I drive out to a job site in the desert from San Diego every week, and a few weeks ago I was able to capture these images using my LG Versa cell phone . . . the sun was just streaming through and the clouds looked amazing.
