What is an Instant Camera?
In 2008, the Polaroid Company announced that it would no longer be producing instant film, as the instant camera had become a losing proposition in the face of the extremely efficient and popular digital camera. Some photographers reacted with outrage, arguing that instant film is a unique and irreplaceable medium, and pushing Polaroid to recant. Several other film companies including Fujifilm continue to produce instant film, for those who want to use it.
