wht is this polaroid? i know abt digi cam but this i have no idea.

A Polaroid Camera is a camera where you also instantly get your picture.
It develops the photo in the camera and then prints it out.
It came out before the digital camera.
But Unlike digital cameras, once you have take your picture you can't erase it and take it back.
In this way it's similar to the regular cameras;
The picture taken with a Polaroid is also only able to be printed in one size because it's develop with the camera itself and printed from the camera.
Hope that helps.

Digital because you can delete the pictures you don't want and zoom the camera. Poloraid is old school


myLot reputation of 90/100. 5000ml (1829)  5 years ago

But old school is still cool!


myLot reputation of 97/100. queenie_sum (2434)  5 years ago

In the old days polaroid was fantastic however photo colours did fad over the years, i love digit, easy to use download them oo your pc or take your smart chip to the photo shop, and best of all so small and compact, lol when polaroid was the fashion it would take up your whole suitcase.


myLot reputation of 97/100. queenie_sum (2434)  5 years ago

yeah! polaroid is old school but it's cute to use it and post it in your memories board. but for practicality it's digital camera still.

I prefer digital cameras because you can take as many pictures as you want.
It doesn't cost you for mistakes made or crappy shots because you can erase them.
You save them on computer or cd and print only the ones you want when you want them and the size you want them to be.
Digital camera are just much more economical, more convientant and I think in a way easier to use.
I use to have a polariod and i like it at the time before digital.
But they are old now and out dated compare to the digital cameras.

I have never used a polaroid. What I used to have before my digital camera was a film camera. I liked it for my own reasons, but now I use more of my digital camera, as it is more economical and easy. I did not have a zoom facility for my old film camera, so I enjoy using my digicam for close-ups.


myLot reputation of 97/100. queenie_sum (2434)  5 years ago

it's cool to use a polaroid camera. film camera doesn't have zoom features. and it uses film which you can preview the shots you've taken. digicam now is really on top of the lists to buy.

Both are instant, but Polaroid photos are so cool. There's such an atmosphere and I love how the colors are always slightly off. It's very retro, I guess that's why they're still so popular these days.

I like using digital cameras, but I love Polaroid cameras.


myLot reputation of 97/100. queenie_sum (2434)  5 years ago

yeah the colors of polaroid pictures are cuter than digicam. digital camera still rules..

digital camera to capture those memories you want to last a lifetime, polaroid for those moments you want to keep and intentionally see the picture fade. hhmm.. how do i explain it. polariod picture look good and classic. would like to play with a lomography camera though! have you guys tried it? i do not have a digital camera so i want to buy one of those lomography cameras. so cute!!


myLot reputation of 97/100. queenie_sum (2434)  5 years ago

lomography camera? what's that? is it like digital camera?


myLot reputation of 96/100. ratburn (527)  5 years ago

lomography is somewhat a toy camera. there are many different kinds. for example four boxes in one picture, fish eye camera, and so on. are you getting what i am saying? haha. i don't know how to explain it. check out www.lomography.com

I have been using a digicam for almost 3 yrs and have kept away the film camera that i have. Actually, i upgraded from my 4MP to a 6MP just recently. It's more convenient to use, can hold a lot of photo depending on the memory/card, pics can be easily deleted/edited to suit my preferences and one can readily share it online whenever necessary. Another good thing is you do not need to buy films everytime you need to use it. Most of digicams have several features/settings to enhance & enjoy photo taking experience. With the constant evolution of technology, i guess digital camera is the way to go when it comes to picture taking.


myLot reputation of 97/100. queenie_sum (2434)  5 years ago

yeah you're right. me too i upgraded my digicam from 4mp to 10mp. and it's more convenient to use. i also like my new digicam because i use alkaline batteries. anywhere i can buy if i'm low bat. cool...
