Pink & Grey Polaroid Cool Cam 



Description of this camera:
The Cool Cam is a limited-edition version of Polaroid’s popular Sun 600 series from the ‘80s. The Cool Cam came in a variety of bold color combinations, such as the black & red version, or fresh pink & grey edition. They were pretty cool, too. But you probably guessed that from the name

My experience: I was so ecstatic when I spotted this camera on the shelf at my local goodwill in the electronics. I consider this camera a very rare find because bids for it and its red counterpart on ebay are generally $45+ and very competitive. Trust me I know first hand. I've been in a few of these bids and lost in the last few seconds. But hey, a few years later I found it for $4 and some change, so I'm not mad. More money in my pocket anyways right. Not to mention it also came in the original bag and was very clean and in great shape. I have had this camera for a little over a year and am just now able to start enjoying it. Film for these cameras now are a bit expensive these days. $18-25 for 8 exposures kind of sucks, ( especially as a college student when that's a full tank of gas for my little Nissan) but is totally worth it when you have all your cool pics in the long run. I just bought film for it a few weeks ago and I'm still shooting. When I finish the pack I will update this page with some of my pics and trial and error. Feel free to comment or email me with any questions.
