No More Polaroid Pictures

One more product will soon been turned to dust with the cancelation of Polaroid Pictures. On the eve of the product's 60th anniversary, Polaroid is announcing that its namesake instant film is being discontinued. None of Polaroid's two dozen auto-developing products will be produced after 2008. Depending on the type of film, Polaroid says you can expect to find it on store shelves until the first quarter of 2009, but most of its films will be gone well before then. Polaroid is being made obsolete due to the popularity of digital cameras which make it easy to see what you just shot thanks to their built-in LCDs. You also don’t have to wait at all, unlike Polaroids. The advancements in technology have taken the bite out of another historic product that has a deep rooted history in the documentation of photography.
