I love that this Fuji Instax / Polaroid thing is making a big comeback. Check out the sales rank of this product on Amazon. It’s remarkable! It’s number one in Cameras and Photo and number 10 overall in electronics as of this post. Also check out the Lomo Instant. Mine just arrived the other day and it’s super fun.
According to Creed O’Hanlon:
“In the past 10 months we have seen a 75% increase in the 18-25 demographic, with teenagers turning their backs on digital for something more tangible. Over the past six months, we have doubled the volume of films we sell and refurbished more than 30,000 classic Polaroid cameras. Next year, we expect these numbers to double.”
