Beginning back in 1976, Eastman Kodak developed a camera that could take a picture and within a minute, develop the photo. Sound familiar? The Polaroid Corp thought so too. After 10 years of litigation, Polaroid won the lawsuit. When the decision was announced, all the TV stations went out after the story, including the local CBS affiliate, Ch 6 in Orlando, FL. At the time, I was running a family-owned camera store (Frank's Photo) and Ch 6 interviewed me about the reaction. This is a clip from the 11pm newscast.
Recorded: January 8, 1986

  • I'm not surprised. Their longevity was not in question. However, they had a textured photo surface which made the photos look unsharp. Also, you may have heard that Polaroid will no longer make any instant film for all their cameras. Digital did them in.
