It was beginning to look like you kids raised on your fancy digital cameras with touchscreen LCD displays would never know what it's like to snap a pic and have a hard copy in your hand seconds later. If that sounds at all exciting, then set aside your Nikon CoolPix and get ready for Polaroid's PIC 1000, a rejuvenated version of the now archaic OneStep camera.
Made possible through a "strategic relationship with Summit Global Group, a longtime Polaroid partner, and The Impossible Project, the manufacturer of classic film for Polaroid film cameras," the PIC 1000 will come in a range of "fun colors" (including a 70s wooden throwback) and use that familiar Polaroid Color 600 Instant Film. Yes, the same film that also works in your retired classic Polaroid.
No word yet on price, but look for the comeback-cam at national retailers sometime this year.
For those of you not digging the photo flashback, Polaroid also announced its newest ZINK-enabled shooter, the Instant Digital Camera. This one sports a 12MP sensor and 3x4-inch prints.

Didn't polaroid say a few months ago that they where not going to make that film any more? I remember seeing it on Ebay for crazy prices. I always had fun with polaroids nothing like shacking your picture to make it develop faster.

Now YOU TOO can have the wonder of having your picture develop in the palm of your hand! And YOU TOO can also experience the wonder as your picture slowly, over time, degrades because of the chemicals in the bottom of the picture!
Seriously, I remember when my father brought one of these things in the house as a gift for my mom back in the late 60s (first pic was where he tried it out at the pawn shop he bought it at, taking a pic of himself in the mirror ^_^). I still have a number of these pics that was taken with this thing, but I had to scan them all because over 40 or so years time the pics have degraded to the point that they are barely visible.

Is that the official CES 2010 banner? Did they cut costs this year by not hiring any graphic designers?

1. Edit some super High Rez Digital Pics of your friends "Or Enemies"
2. Print it out in large format at Kinkos or somewhere
or Take a Photo of your Bigscreen High def Monitor if that works for you
3. Take a Polaroid shot of the edited printout (or monitor) and show it to your friends
Why?
Cuz it's a real picture!
You couldn't have faked a polaroid right?
