That would be so nice. I bought my son a polaroid camera a couple of years ago because he had always wanted one.

YES TANYAMM I HAVE HAD SEVERAL IN THE PASSED ALWAYS LIKED THE INSTANT FORM, BUT IN A WAY DIGITAL IS NOW THE INSTANT CAMERA YOU CAN SEE YOUR PHOTOS INSTANT YOU TAKE THEM AND IF YOU HAVE A HAND HELD PORTABLE PRINTER YOU CAN DO THEM INSTANTLY.

That's what I need is a small printer for my pics. My large printer doesn't quite to the job and I'm limited to paper size.

I love the effect of a Polaroid picture. In my experience, Polaroid makes everyone look great, and interesting to boot.

I've always liked a polaroid picture. Didn't they even have a film that did sepia tones or am I mistaken?
