I like to take pictures of my Blythe dolls. I always carry my dolls with me when I have a trip, and I always take pictures of them.
My friend has a SX-70 that is a folding SLR camera which was produced by the Polaroid Corporation from 1972 to 1977. It is called vintage camera. The SX-70 looks nice, so it’s often used in movies, dramas and commercials as a prop. It’s an attractive instant camera for me, but it’s hard to find and expensive, because it’s a vintage camera. I want one, but I can’t afford it.
Therefore, I always buy instant film only and I borrow the camera from my friend to take pictures. I can take an attractive picture with this camera. Those pictures have a special tone that cannot be reproduced in digital camera, so I love to take pictures with this camera.
However, unfortunately, through the spread of digital cameras began the decline of instant cameras, and the Polaroid Corporation decided to withdraw from instant film products this year.
For this reason, now instant films are selling for a high price, and they began declining in markets. I will be not able to take pictures with SX-70 in near future. It’s too bad.
I hope that instant film will be produced again!

I'm also a fan of polaroid, but I haven't used my camera (not a vintage one) for a long time because we don't have proper assistance and there's something wrong with it :(
a friend of mine (who's also a fan) has shared these "save polaroid" links:

I really love to take picture with Polaroid camera.
I don't have my own camera, and really want one, but I know it's hard to do maintenance for the camera, so I can't buy it now. Thank you for sharing those web site, I'll check out.
