mikejanocko Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 <p>Hi,<br> I would like to buy a Polaroid camera and I'm wondering if there are any stores in London that still sell these cameras - either new or used. Are there any Londoners here that can help?<br> Thanks, michael</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sunley Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 <p>First off, see what Fuji instant films are available and buy a used camera that will take one of them. In case you didn't know, Polaroid has ceased production of all their films.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longname Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 <p>You can probably buy them online for cheap.<br> But whatever you do don't get a Captiva, sure it's cute and knows how to have a good time. You can take it anywhere and it'll impress your friends and your parents will think that you make a great couple but in the end it'll leave you empty and broken-hearted... what with the film being so hard to find.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 <p>Film availability is the key variable as Bob and Al say. <a href="http://www.fujifilm.com/products/instant_photo/index.html"><strong>Fuji</strong> </a> is it, so check out what compatible films they offer before buying any Polaroids. The good news is that people are dumping these on eBay and other places, you just have to know which ones not to buy.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardMiller Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 <p>You might try Mr. Cad in Croydon (mrcad.co.uk). They sell all sorts of older cameras--their store is an amazing wonderland of vintage (and some newer) equipment. Last time I was in there, they had cases of Polaroid film they were clearing out. Their prices can be a bit high for camera gear, but they're very nice folks.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
