Polaroid Instant Cameras Return With the PIC-1000

by Jay Garrett on January 10, 2010

Polaroid has confirmed its come-back with the promise of releasing a new Polaroid instant camera later this year.

There’s been a campaign and the Impossible Project rallied to keep the format alive by actually buying a Polaroid Film factory and promised us a new camera this year.

And here it is. The new camera will come in three colours – silver, black and faux wood and offer fans of the romanticised format to relive those glory days.

Other points are a tad sketchy but I’m guessing that these new cameras will follow the tried-and-tested designs of old.

Polaroid says that the new PIC-1000 will cost around £60.

Polaroid Camera’s Back Next Year – Instant Happiness!

by Jay Garrett on October 14, 2009

cameraAwesome news abounds!

Polaroid has confirmed that it’s getting together with instant film fans, The Impossible Project, to resurrect the classic and well loved instant film cameras.

Yup -the format that was killed off last year is coming back people!

The Impossible Project has spent the past 12 months working on a new film for existing Polaroid cameras, even going as far as running the former Polaroid factory in Enschede, Holland.

Polaroid plans to relaunch their Polaroid Instant Cameras next year, with The Impossible Project creating Instant Film for the newly created insti-snappers.

There’ll be the option for black and white and colour versions.

This proves that the customer is always right – where there’s a will………..
