Update September 2019: The Canon G7X Mk III is now out, but not much has changed. It’s almost exactly the same camera with some added video features.

Whoever decided to cancel production at Polaroid should be banging their head on a table, because while they assumed the future was exclusively digital, Fuji steadfastly supported their instant film format through the 2000s and into the 2010s.
