More like it's UmPointless. I have a photo printer that makes amazing quality prints direct from a digital camera. Nobody needs instant prints on location, which is why Polaroid hasn't been doing so well.]]>Jul 30th 2010 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/
its ironic when you think about it.

Polaroid stops making the stuff because no one is buying it because lets face it, Polaroids look like crap, they are outdated technology, and the grainy, blurry, bad color effects can be emulated perfectly with software.

Then people complain that they stopped making it (even though they weren't buying it) so they start making it again.

20 bucks says after a month or two they will stop selling it again once the hipsters realize taking and then scanning the Polaroids, so they can post them on facebook, takes to much work. Especially when they can just do the fake Polaroids from their iPhones.]]>Jul 30th 2010 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/
Polorid is loved by investigators as it is "direct to film" and provides quick feedback on scene. Being direct to film means that it is harder to contest in court because there's no room for darkroom or digital hijinks... that is very important to quite a few people. ]]>Jul 30th 2010 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/Jul 30th 2010 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/

The thing is, people like film better because it takes less work to produce the same effect.

Other in low-low light, i really don't see a difference between film and digital these days.]]>Jul 30th 2010 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/Jul 30th 2010 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/

Hah, more like why beat around the bush and make it difficult and copy something analog? Why not just go to the source? That's what I'm talking about. Creating a photoshop action that spontaneously creates an unpredictable 'analog effect' is pointless when such a product exists.]]>Jul 30th 2010 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/
And where's the soul in your doctored digital images?

Don't get me wrong, I own and shoot 5D mk II, but I can't see anyone shooting that 40 years from now impressed with its classic qualities. It was designed to be consumed and tossed. The genius in Polaroid was the physical attributes of the print, not the flat image on a computer screen. Polaroids in person look far better than any scan.]]>Jul 30th 2010 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/

Easier? Hardly. It's much easier for a hack photographer to get the software to do the work for them. Film photographers do the work themselves, either in setting up the shot or in the darkroom. And it's not all mathematics or science.

It's called "Art".]]>Jul 30th 2010 9:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/Jul 30th 2010 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/Jul 30th 2010 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/

Trust me, I'm a photographer and NO ONE responds to you taking their picture with a digital camera the way they do with a Polaroid...their eyes light up...something magic happens...and I can't tell you how many friendships I've formed on the basis of that moment.
Here's a link to my some of them:

Totally agree. My family owned a Polaroid 100 series, as well as a "Swinger" or 2. Now THOSE made for some memorable vacations. Instant pictures. I missed that later in life, waiting for the prints from the 35mm cameras to be developed, even if I only had to wait an hour.

Sure, Photoshop can do a lot, but to me there's a difference between being creative with software and being creative using one's own talents.]]>Jul 30th 2010 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/impossible-projects-color-polaroid-film-finally-going-on-sale/
