Who knows the introduction and brief introduction of polaroid digital camera 1834 (need pictures)?

New technologies give birth to new products, which make new companies, and also send some well-known old enterprises into history books.

This year165438+1October 26th, Japan should be the 60th birthday of Polaroid instant imaging camera, but its historical mission has entered the countdown to the complete end: by the end of this year, the special film for Polaroid cameras will completely disappear from the store shelves.

Because of excessive debts, Polaroid filed for bankruptcy protection with the US court on 200 1. By 2007, Polaroid cameras, which had been popular for decades, stopped production and disappeared from the shelves. Starting from next year, Polaroid's special instant imaging film will no longer be sold, and the die-hard fans of Polaroid cameras will only miss old photos in the future.

Polaroid camera originated from the dream of an American girl. 1944, when Alvin Rand, an American physicist, was on vacation with his family, his little daughter couldn't wait to develop it, clamoring to see the photos taken. After returning from vacation, the physicist who runs an optical instrument company himself felt "worried" about his daughter's "unreasonable" request. After painstaking research, he finally figured out the technology of instant imaging camera, and launched the world's first instant imaging camera Polaroid 95 on 1948 165438+ market on October 26th. The price was 89 at that time.

SX-70 Pocket Instant Imaging Camera

1972, Polaroid introduced the SX-70 pocket instant imaging camera, which immediately swept the world. By the mid-1970s, it sold 6 million sets, and owning a Polaroid SX-70 became the fashion in America. Fans call it a camera with its own darkroom. In fact, the secret of Polaroid lies not in the camera itself, but in the special film it uses. This is a double-layer film which integrates positive film and negative film. When the film passes through two rollers in the camera, the developer is coated on the upper and lower layers of film.

Polaroid camera takes about 90 seconds from pressing the shutter to developing and imaging. During this period, external factors such as light, shadow and temperature have an impact on the imaging quality. Therefore, some photographic artists specially use this feature of Polaroid to create unique photographic effects that cannot be predicted in advance.

Every polaroid photo is also an orphan, because it has no negative, and you can't copy it unless you remake it and scan it. Another limitation of Polaroid instant imaging photos is that compared with the positive or negative photos taken by optical cameras at that time, their image quality is very low and they lack details.

With the popularity of digital cameras, "instant imaging" is no longer Polaroid's specialty, but Polaroid's shortcomings are very prominent in the contrast of digital photography. On June 17 this year, the film factory in Enshede, the Netherlands stopped producing the last Polaroid T600 film. By the end of this year, Polaroid cameras and films will all disappear from stores. The news that Polaroid has completely withdrawn from the sales stage has made those shops that are still selling Polaroid movies see the last business opportunity. Recently, the price of Polaroid 54 and 59 movies has soared by 50%. Playing Polaroid cameras has never been a hobby to save money. Now a box of 10 polaroid film costs 20 euros in Germany, which means that the price of a polaroid photo is 20 times that of printing a digital photo.

PoGo's pocket digital photo printer

Although Polaroid has gone bankrupt and Polaroid cameras have begun to enter the historical stage, the Polaroid brand seems to have to make the last blog. It is said that Polaroid brand launched a pocket-sized digital photo printer named PoGo, which can be said to be "anti-employment" after Polaroid retired, and began to lay down and "work" for digital cameras, because it can be carried around and instantly print photos taken by mobile phones and digital cameras.
