POLAROID 300

Two years ago,

Polaroid stopped

producing the

cameras that were

synonomous with

almost-instant

photo prints. Since

then, shutterbugs

worldwide have

lamented their

demise. But

complain no more.

This summer,

Polaroid unveiled a

new instant film

camera,

FUJIFILM INSTAX

MIN: 25

This

instant film camera,

above,

is smaller

than its Polaroid

counterpart but

delivers similar

results. It comes

with a close-up lens

and, like the

Polaroid, offers

several exposure

modes and an

automatic flash. The

Mini 25 also features

a mirror on the

front for self-

portraits. $95

(20-print film packs,

$14);
