Yeah the film was another issue I had. I only ever had to worry about SX-70 and 600 type films, and while the price was nowhere near that bad, they were still pretty pricey. (Especially when the camera didn't fucking work)

That and unless you have reliable access to recycling it's a huge landfill generator. Each film cartridge comes with its own non rechargeable lithium battery.

I don't think it's polaroid themselves, IIRC The Impossible Project bought the rights to the Polaroid name
