    Polaroid back from the dead

    I must admit since the advent of Digital Cameras i haven't paid much attention to companies like Kodak (who i used to work for many years ago) or Polaroid, but recently i noticed Polaroid has made it back from the brink. Just looking at their website i see a mass of different products including 4K Ultra TVs, large format plotters and even Blue Tooth Speakers. Its good to see some of these old names climb back into the 21st century.

    Its a pity Kodak didn't do this, all i see is licensed use of their name plastered on a ton of crap by a company called JK Imaging Ltd. It looks like all Kodak is doing is film for the motion picture industry.

    aren't those retro polaroid cameras making a mini-comeback at the moment too?

      I have one somewhere in the closet. Will be funny to find out where to buy a native cartridge for it

      Update: just googled for it. They still can be bought here. E.g.: https://pola-store.ru/14-produktciya

      So nice

          Do you remember the flat flexible battery that powered the Polaroid camera? They had some amazing uses. I started a car with one on a cold winter morning in London and if you folded one in half and touched the two contacts together it could be used as a hand warmer (not recommended as they can catch fire) I always thought they should have manufactured batteries for other uses as these were years ahead of anything available at the time. Huge amperage at 12 volts.

            I have one of the newer ones but the film is too expensive and the photo too small but its still fun to have around.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaroid_Corporation

              Poloroid is a licensed branded name.
              Products bearing the name are manufactured by others.

              Rockwell power tools are a similar arrangement.

                Wow! So they are doing the same as Kodak just selling stuff and using the name. Pity i thought they had come back, but obviously not

                  absolutely. We were only looking at them the other day & saying the same...

                  They seem to be digital with great lens & then the copy of the image is received from the rear or with one the side of the camera, great for instant photos, parties, friends messing about on holidays & stuff

                    Are they flexible? I have never tried to disassemble the cartridge...

                        Kodak has a few things in the works. But they're more film based, but play of the same nostalgia.

                              Still have an instant one in the closet but since the highlight of that was taking naughty pics without having to hand film to a perv developer the iPhone has replaced it's use.
