In November of 2009, Polariod made the announcement that it was bring back classic film.  Pollock said this camera “really represents Polaroid.”

    Polaroid’s new Creative Director, Lady Gaga, stated she was excited to help Polaroid take its Instant Film into the digital age.

    • flash
    • red-eye reduction
    • self timer

    The new Polaroid will be available in sliver or a wooden look right around the holidays this year. The price has not been established.
