A Netherland-based company, The Impossible Project, is now producing film for these cameras. This in part explains the revival of interest in them.

Hi S. Schappa, I am not sure that it has been discontinued, that is news to me. I just bought mine new in Nov 2010 Thanksgiving time frame through Amazon. Its been taking great photos, I know its predesessor s100fs has performed very well and there has been some discussion as to which is a superior camera. I am not profficient enough to give an educated opinion, however I will say I am very hapy with the s200exr. I'm not sure how long any camera stay's in production I get the immpression that the manufacturers change up features regularly as they try to advance the technology or sell any new gizmo.Jeff Hi S.

Thank you for your helpful response. I plan on going ahead and purchasing the camera.

It's been displayed in my store for while. Factory discontinued doesn't mean it was sold out anywhere. Thank you for your inquiry.

That is a completely fair point, especially for the present. My contention was mainly that 20 years down the line, the software and formats will likely be very different from today, and those which are tied to a particular player (such as WMV or WMA) are in fact more likely to die out. However, you are correct that Windows is not likely to go anywhere, even in that time frame, and thus it's probably a pretty safe bet.It remains that the native format of these AVCHD files are not by default playable in WMP, though they probably will be in the future as it looks like the MTS format used for AVCHD files will become a standard for all camera brands.

The film by polaroid has been discontinued, however you may still purchase film compatible for this camera by a company called the Impossible Project, which makes film for vintage polaroid cameras. You can purchase them from Urban Outfitters, the impossible project website, or look for sellers on Amazon like I did. If you plan on buying the sun 600, just make sure that you purchase the correct film for this camera. Hope this answered your question! :)

It will become available on or about 3/22...Given the fact that most ultrazooms tend to get shaky at far range of the zoom even with the image stablization built in to reduce it. I would have to read reviews before plunking down $429. I have owned ultrazooms put out by Panasonic Lumix and Olympus and they all have that problem. If this problem has been resolved and a tripod to steady the image is no longer necessary, I would consider buying it and adding it to my collection. Read the reviews first!

My apologies. If you have had it in your hands then I certainly cannot dispute that. I have done more research and found that Target says that the camera is available (in stock) at our local Targets. I will see tomorrow and report back.

The company has been sold and is currently in receivership. Whatever that means. The software currently is not available. The camera works fine with just a video transfer from the sd card to a computer. You are not, however, able to change modes, use viewfinder or download any firmware updates. I still have all of the software and the app on my ipad so I've decided to keep my contour +2 even though the company I bought it from offered a full refund. I would hold off on purchasing until more information is released about the sale of Contour and whether or not they will once again become a viable company.

No. you have to buy the specific camera for this particular film. The film is much smaller than the regular old Polaroid cameras. But decent pictures and instant.

Yeah you can take 50 pictures and I'm not sure about the film expiring, I would recommend googling that since I'm new to my camera an the film.

Doubtful, it's rather old as it is, and quite unreliable under the best of circumstances. I kept the camera, but tossed the shattered, stomped on printer long ago, lol.

Unfortunately, I do not have any information concerning the item being discontinued by the manufacturer. I tried contacting them, but the number I have is disconnected.

I don't know if they are going to be discontinued. Both are still listed on Amazon. Sorry if I couldn't be more helpful.
