Two articles in today's Boston Globe about these new Polaroid instant cameras, which I think must really be Fuji cameras. I bought a Fuji Instax 210, and it's a blast!!

Wow, that article is so full of inaccuracies, it makes me cringe. For one, when did the Impossible Project announce Spectra film?

One of them is a rebranded Instax. The other is a digicam with a tiny printer.

Take a Fuji Instax Mini to a party and you will be the center of attention, I promise. Whoever doesn't want their picture taken will want to buy the camera.

It's quite entertaining to see a room full of twenty-somethings gathered around a simple plastic camera knowing that they've got thousands of dollars of imaging technology in their pockets.
