Polaroid PIC 1000
Written by Eric Reagan on January 12th, 2010 | 16 Comments
Polaroid film died a while back, but then was reborn with plans to re-release the old instant film cameras and the famous Color 600 instant film. We got our first sneak peek at what the new Polaroid film cameras will look like when they hit the storefronts later this year. It looks like Polaroid will be offering some unique finishes for the new instant shooter, including a wood-grain finish as shown in the mockup above. The new camera will be called the PIC 1000 and should cost less than $100.
Supported by a strategic relationship with Summit Global Group, a longtime Polaroid partner, and The Impossible Project, the manufacturer of classic film for Polaroid film cameras, Polaroid will offer a completely redesigned, modern version of the Polaroid OneStep camera, the PIC 1000. The PIC 1000 will be available in a range of fun colors and use classic Polaroid Color 600 Instant Film to produce the brand’s classic white border instant pictures. The Polaroid Color 600 Instant Film will work with both classic and new Polaroid cameras and will be offered in packs of 10 pictures. The new classic PIC 1000 camera and instant color film will be available at national retailers in 2010. -Polaroid Press Release

What a crap idea…we need polaroid 669, not this old rubbish.
Great, who is stupid enough to spend THAT kind of money on a camera
they will use once, until the stupidly expensive film runs out and they can’t afford to buy anymore. 669 for the real appreciation of polaroid…polaroid transfer… I just put out a book called Sex, Lies and the Single Mannequin (All Polaroid Transfer) on Blurb.com if you guys want to review it? It’s very exciting!

Just what the consumer wants, old product, more colors. Why not just make a digital camera that can print polaroids? It can even come in leopard color

Who cares what the outside of the camera looks like (although I won’t complain about good design) I want to know how the images will turn out! Are they going to be the ever-so-beautiful squares with a little edgy white space border again, or the not-so-cool rectangles?? Hmmm… Hopefully something will be released soon!

This polaroid is pretty interesting but is a bit overpriced, imho… After all is not a reflex camera like the old good SX-70.

I think the design is very dull. I love photography and recently bought the http://www.abt.com/product/39617/Canon-SD1200ISP.html . I think these days we get such great colors & features in DG cameras and just takes minimal efforts to get prints too. I don’t think the new design inspires much to buy it.
