sad.. but expected. polaroid is an essentially dying tradition with digital cameras.

Well, if you haven't bought any polaroid film in the last five years, there's no reason to lament. Me? I've never had a polaroid camera, never bought a single piece of polaroid film in my life.

I guess the question is not to find the 600 for the cheapest price rather where can you still get your hands on them.

OMG...
SERIOUS?! Is there any other type of filmpack that polaroids cameras can use? like those kodak filmpack or what? I apologise if my question sounds silly. I'm a newbie to polaroid cameras.
