<h3>Does the fuji instax 200 really compare to our old friend the polaroid 600?</h3>
So polaroid film is more expensive than the camera and no one seems to know where to find them. So is the fuji instax 200 a better alternative? Whats the film like?
<strong>Fuji best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by natron0</i><br/>The camera has a semi-comical appearance and is not suitable for close-ups, but the film is an excellent product with very pleasing, if contrasty, colors.</p>

Manufactured in 1998 by Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd. of Japan. An amazing little disposable designed to take 8 sequential images on a single frame of 35mm film. Once the shutter was released, the shooting lasted for about 1 second. It is loaded with 15 exposures of 800 ISO film. The directions were very specific: "(1) Turn film advance wheel until it stops, (2) Stand at least 21 ft away from golfer (subject), (3) Look through viewfinder and focus on golfer's waist, (4) Press shutter when golf club is parallel to ground on backswing, (5) Hold camera still until shutter stops clicking, and (6) REPEAT: You have 15 opportunities, try pressing shutter at different times to vary swing analysis." Also, it included an offer to send one golf photo, check or money order to Corporate Golf Outings of Scottsdale, Arizona for a golf swing analysis!
Are disposable cameras collectable? First, they are a phenomena of the late 20th / early 21st century. The more proper term "Single Use Camera" and they brought photography to the truly occasional photographer. They became unique for the odd features and varieties. And their use is now engrained in our culture—who doesn't put out several at their wedding reception for the guests to snap pictures of each other! And, by their specific nature, they are destroyed. So common today that they hang at every grocery checkout line, but one day they'll be rare. You decide…
