Yes, that's right Polaroid is going to be getting out of the instant camera/picture business.

So what do you do with all those old "land cameras" you might have laying around?

Here's how to turn one in to a USB net cam!

Wow, that's sort of a bummer.  Of course, I haven't used my Land cameras in what seems like eons.  I even found an old one (metal body, cloth bellows) at an estate sale some years ago.  Hmm...helloooooo ebay! Wink

When I saw the first digital camera come out, I wondered how long the "old school" film camera folks would stay around. It seemed that Kodak held out a LOT longer than *I* thought they should, but finally saw the light.

Guess we could call this an end of an era.
