Where can i buy a polaroid camera?

Royalty, 9 April, 2008 at 16:26 Posted on Planning 0 9

I was planning on doing the whole guest book + polaroid, but have just found out that polaroid have stopped making the instant polaroid cameras.

Any ideas?

    They have stopped making them but loads of places still sell them.

    I got one in Argos just before Xmas and bought some film in Asda recently. The only downside is it costs roughly £1 per photo so if you have lots of guests it could end up being quite costly.

    Try Amazon they had one the other day for £40.00 the flim however is very expensive. It would have cost us well over £100.00 to take snaps of all our guest.

    I've got a polariod and wouldn't recommend it for your wedding. The pics I got were sometimes really rubbish and people also just kept taking pics for no reason just cause they liked the fact they were instant! ?. It is very expensive for the film and I haven't used mine in years.

    Have you thought about using a digital camera instead? I know they cant stick pics in the book but at least you haven't got the extra cost of a film.

    Or perhaps a video guest book??

    Use a digi camera and an instant printer, cheaper and its not a problem if people get snap happy.

    If you really want to stick the photos in directly then you could try these
    http://www.dvd-and-media.com/Adhesive-photo-paper.htm
    and a printer like this one

    then you still have a cool printer for after the wedding

    We bought one in Dixons/Currys/whatever in Bluewater a good few years ago.

    The man in the shop made a few odd comments to us (a little on the risque side) was a bit giggly and nudge nude wink wink.

    We left the shop baffled until we realised the "Reader's Wives scenario" I honestly wanted to go back and rant "Look at me! I'm overworked underpaid and unappreciated. Even my bags have bags. Do I really look like I'm getting any?!!"

    I'd buy a few disposable cameras. It will work out much cheaper as the film for polaroids is really expensive, even more so now everything is digital. Once your guests have had a few too many, they'll be clicking away at all sorts and you're left with a load of random photos which have cost you a fortune.
