i was told that polaroid sold the rights to another company (maybe fujifilm) to carry on making the film to fit polariod cameras...... anyone know if thats true, i know fujifilm have their own instant film and cameras which are not been discontinued

think of the VOID polaroid will be leaving behind...what about all the ppl who use polaroids to take photos of kids with the easter bunny or santa? or ppl in the fashion industry? who wants to deal with printing a photo when you can get the image instantly?you can't recreate the look of a polaroid. not even in photoshop. nothing digital comes remotely close to the QUALITY, 1-of-a-kind image you get with a polaroid.think of what creative works we will be deprived of in the future.

This is really sad. Polaroid made unique and wonderful photography products for almost 60 years - sunglasses and other things before that.I think there's still a niche market out here that will seek and buy the film - if only someone will pick up the manufacture of it.

Thank you so much for this wonderful dedication to the people of Polaroid. My father is featured in your video and his last day of work after 42 years is March 21st.

My father worked at Polaroid in Waltham for my entire childhood. This video was touching and I'm thankful that someone took the time to put it together.

Nostalgic memories printed at an instant should not die out.
