How do I sell my old Polaroid camera?
When it comes to selling your Polaroid camera, we recommend using a trusted online sales platform, such as eBay, Depop or Etsy. You can also reach out to Retrospekt, a well known Polaroid camera buyer, at: service@retrospekt.com.
Are Polaroid cameras worth it?
The camera itself is fun to handle and shoot with and the cost is acceptable. However, the shooting and film issues and final results make it so that the photos I have will have no value beyond personal sentiment. If you receive it as a gift or want something fun to play around with, the Polaroid Now is good enough.
How do you date a Polaroid camera?
On the back of every Polaroid photo, you'll find a 10-11 digit code. Film produced before 04.18 will have an 10 digit code while film produced after this date will have an 11 digit code.
Why did the Polaroid business fail?
Unfortunately for Polaroid, the product hit the market late; customers already had access to home video camcorders. The technology may have been different but the output for a user was not very differentiated. Slow sales caused Polaroid to stop selling the product in 1979.

When did they stop making Polaroid cameras?

Do Instax cameras take good pictures?
Instax cameras are known for their soft, washed out effect. They're ideal for atmospheric photos of people, landscapes, and objects that aren't too close to the camera. Always stay over 60cm away from your subject. If you want to take close-ups, you have to have an Instax Mini 9 with a close-up lens.
How long do Instax cameras last?
Water soaked pictures did this too. But if you store them in a moderately cool, low humidity, but not too dry, UV protected, acid free place, they should last 50–100 years or more.
Why is Instax popular?
The revival of vintage and a nostalgia for an analog past Instead of being phased out because it's old, it turned out to be the very reason for Instax's sudden resurgence. Nowadays, everything old is the new again, where old is the new new, and vintage is the new modern.
