Anyone know where I can find a polaroid instant camera?  I tried walmart but couldnt find one here in halifax.  I would like to do instant pics for my guest book.

Thanks

im kinda surprised that walmart wouldn't sell something like that, but then I dont shop there so i dont really know what they have. I would try a photography shop. if you have a blacks, or japan camera or a smaller retailer. you might have to order in film though. not such a popular item anymore.

I bought one off a girl on the boards here!  And I sold it to another girl on the boards after the wedding!

Try Ebay.  They always have them for sale.

You could also buy one of those small portable printers and use a digital camera - that way you get a copy of the photo too!

That's a neat idea!  Might be cheaper, too, especially since a lot of stuff goes on sale this time of year (back to school sales).  And then you can make sure you're getting good pictures

I was also going to suggest ebay for the polaroid.

We used to use a polaroid camera at work for "mugshots" of theives (I work in retail btw) We had to stop using it as the film became almost impossible to find. I highly reccomend the photo printer/digi camera. I use mine all the time it is fast, reliable and prints  lab quality prints.

Polaroid has or is in the process (I'm not sure) of discontinuing their instant cameras - can you believe it???? After all these years. They're focusing more on digital now I think to keep up with demand and help maintain/grow profits. You might consider using disposable cameras, or maybe renting a photo booth that does instant shots. I know someone who had one (BOOTH) at their wedding and the photos came out great!
