BOSTON (AP) - Polaroid is dropping the technology it pioneered
long before digital photography rendered instant film obsolete to all
but a few nostalgia buffs. Polaroid is closing factories in Massachusetts, Mexico and the
Netherlands and cutting 450 jobs as the brand synonymous with
instant images focuses on ventures, such as a portable printer for
images from cell phones and Polaroid-branded digital cameras,
televisions and DVD players.

That's right, folks; Polaroid will very shortly no longer be producing film for Polaroid instant cameras. While they've obviously been decimated by digital photography, I've always felt there was still a reliable niche market for Polaroids... They will be missed

I've still got my camera and some stock.

I've taken thousands of polaroids for work.

Convenient, yeah, but, ultimately, the quality sucked.

The only feature they own digital over is that you could write on each photo, identifying it.

Buh-bye, polaroid.
Thanks for all the shots.
