You can turn yours down. Just saying.

I'm so happy these guys are bringing this back!! You can pick up a polaroid camera on ebay for less than $30!! Each pack of the film you just saw costs about $27. If you ask me, polaroid photos are sort of like vinyl records, they just seem better!! Support Impossible and buy some!! We gotta keep this alive!!!

of the parking lot of the store i just left when i bought a polaroid just because i can

this is the brand you get dont know what other people are on about in which it takes forever to develop. i mean if you think about it its cheaper then A. buying a digital camera which is still roughly about 100 some odd dollars plus a sd card to hold all the pictures you will take and for really really good pictures you need to get the glossy paper that's ment for printers and even then depending on your printer you might not get the quality you want brb going to buy a polaroid and take a pic

The film has a cover on it that gets ejected when the cartridge is inserted into the camera.

The black and white film takes less than 5 min. to develop, buy the COOL film because it's $7 dollar less than the regular film, and I agree with the 8 pictures part.

The Impossible Project sure has come a long way, but I just can't order their film yet! 1. It's too damn expensive ($23.49 for 8 exposures :-p) 2. It takes forever to develop. 3. The company profits off of ignorance.

I mean come on! Why pay so much money for film that doesn't even produce good images half the time? I get the idea of creativity and nostalgia that T.I.P. advertises, but until 10 pictures come in a pack and the film can develop uncovered, NO THANKS!!!
