There are two commonly used sizes of instant photo paper, namely 86mm*54mm (imaging size 62mm*46mm) and 88mm*107mm (imaging size 79mm*79mm). There are pirated copies of Polaroids during the Idol Dream Festival, but piracy is currently under severe pressure and has been forced to be removed from the shelves.
In the 1990s, when digital cameras were not yet popular, a camera that could also take instant photos gained popularity among consumers, and people gave it an easy-to-understand name: "Photography". "Lip" (also known as "Lip") are generally two brands: iGood from the United States and Fuji from Japan.
The camera structure seems to be complicated and bulky. After a "click" sound, a photo with a wide white border slowly came out of the camera mouth. In many tourist attractions, an iGood snapshot costs 20 to 30 yuan, but there are still many tourists who enjoy it.
After the popularity of digital cameras, instant cameras gradually withdrew from the market due to their high cost and inconvenience to carry. However, many petty bourgeoisie men and women and camera enthusiasts still collect such cameras. Influenced by the romantic scenes in some idol dramas, fans often purchase them online. However, because the iGood camera trademark was registered by a natural person in mainland China, iGood cameras cannot be sold in mainland China. Sales abroad are booming, but one is hard to find domestically.
In 2001, Polaroid declared bankruptcy. In 2005, the company was purchased by Minnesota-based conglomerate Peters Global Group.
In February 2008, Polaroid announced that it would stop manufacturing film and shift its focus to the development of digital camera business. In June of the same year, Polaroid's Greater China agency rights were taken back by Polaroid Asia Pacific. The film factory in Enshede, the Netherlands, also stopped producing the last type of Polaroid film (T600 film). On New Year's Day 2010, Polaroid's Hong Kong office reopened at its current location in Shililo, Island East Center, Taikoo Shing Road, Hong Kong.
