YES!
I hate to admit it but it’s true. When Polaroid sianara’ed back in December 2008 I lost interest in my 5, (yes five) various polaroid cameras. I even have film left. I now realize my aloofness was a defense mechanism, saving me from the pain of facing my loss.
BUT! Today the company that bought the Polaroid name (The Summit Global Group) announced they’d be manufacturing instant cameras again. Perhaps Polaroid should never have swayed from it’s biggest hit.
Huge props to “The Impossible Project” who for the last year have been relentless in their effort to restart production of film for vintage Polaroid cameras. Apparently The Summit Global Group took notice and plan to have new instant cameras out and about sometime in the middle of 2010 … and are having the The Impossible Project people manufacture the film. W00T W00T!

Great news. I'm sure the new models will be pretty damn sweet, too.
Yay! I'm more excited about the film at the moment, but I will no doubt try to get my hands on a new camera version. Do you have a polaroid?
