Polaroid – or at least the current owners of the Polaroid name – has released its first new camera, the Polaroid 300. We saw a new Polaroid prototype at CES but the Polaroid 300 has been built for Polaroid by Fujifilm and seems to take a little of its styling and film size from a rather older camera…
The Polaroid 300 is apparently the first product of brainstorming sessions conducted by Polaroid creative director, Lady Gaga. Firebox are stocking the new Polaroid camera from May in black, blue and red.
While the Polaroid 300 carries the Polaroid name it looks more than a little like the older Fujifilm Instax Mini 7 camera. The Polaroid 300 also uses a smaller 2.1in x 3.4in film like the Fujifilm model but the 10 packs of film are branded Polaroid 300 film. Still, the familiar white border is there.
The Polaroid 300 will set you back £79.99 while a 10 pack of the Polaroid 300 instant film costs £12.99. Just under £3 per shot might seem quite a lot but shooting Polaroid snaps has never been a cheap hobby.
Let us know what you think of the Polaroid 300. Will you be grabbing one or are you after an original Polaroid and some packs of the Impossible Project instant film?
