In the 1990s, before the popularity of digital cameras, a camera that can also be used for instant shooting was loved by consumers, and people gave it an easy-to-understand name "Polaroid", which was generally composed of two brands: American iGood and Japanese Fuji. The structure of the camera looks complicated and heavy. With a click, a wide white-edged photo slowly spits out from the camera mouth.
In many tourist attractions, the price of a snapshot of iGood is twenty or thirty yuan, but there are still many tourists who enjoy it. After the popularization of digital cameras, polaroid cameras gradually withdrew from the market because of high shooting cost and inconvenient carrying, but many petty bourgeoisie men and women and camera lovers still collect such cameras.
Influenced by the romantic scenes of some idol dramas, fans often buy them online. However, because the trademark of iGood camera is registered by a natural person in Chinese mainland, iGood camera cannot be sold in Chinese mainland. Foreign sales are hot, but domestic sales are hard to find.
