So the other day I stumbled across an
article that I just had to read... "Polaroid Goes Digital" or something to that effect.
Polaroid has come out with a new digital camera that is supposed to replace their throwback Polaroid camera that would print out pictures on the spot. There was a time and a place when the old camera was cool... say... the 80's (when the alternative was to send your film away to be developed). Today, however, anyone can just print out their own photos when and how they want them. It's just so easy.
So, after reading about the "low-lights" of this camera, I just find myself asking... "Why would ANYONE want to buy this camera??"
You can print about 20 pictures before your battery is dead
It costs $0.50/picture once you purchase the paper (You can have pictures professionally printed out at Walgreens for $0.20/print.)
Prints 2 x 3 photo (But, they can be turned into cool stickers! Insert sarcasm here...)
Grainy photos
Turns flesh-tones green
No auto-focus
Costs $200 (Would you want to pay $200 for a camera that doesn't even auto-focus?)
And the big one... Polaroid declared bankruptcy in December (Will you even be able to buy paper to make the prints??)
