If conception is invention, then according to the Polaroid website, the Polaroid Land Camera was invented in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1944. Edwin Land was on vacation when his three year old daughter Jennifer asked him why she couldn't see a picture Land took of her right away. Land went for a solitary walk and by the time he returned he had all the central concepts for what became the Land Camera in his head. The folding camera Edwin Land invented produced black-and-white prints in about one minute from roll film inside the camera. Land patented his camera in 1946 (Patent Number 2435720).
It's a little difficult to determine precisely where the first Polaroids, or Land Cameras, were made. The original camera, the Model 95, first sold in 1948 for $89.75 in Boston, Massachusetts. According to the website The Land List (see Related Link below), it is possible (Land List makes no assertion of accuracy) that the earliest Model 95s were produced under contract for Polaroid by Samson United of Rochester, New York with a lens by Wollensak. There is a suggestion from a visitor to the site that some early Model 95's may have also been produced in a Timex plant in Atlanta, Georgia. Later, Polaroid took over production themselves, and Polaroid at the time was headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Polaroid left the instant film market in 2008, but recently reintroduced one instant film camera to its line -- the Polaroid Classic Instant 300, manufactured in China by Fujifilm. The Polaroid is as expensive to operate as ever; one pack of 10 film sheets costs $9.99, or approximately $1.00 per picture.
Edwin H. Land invented the Polaroid camera in 1944 to appease his young daughter who was upset that she couldn't see a photograph immediately after it was taken.
Land demonstrated the prototype of what became the Model 95 in February 1947, then manufactured the first 60 cameras in time for the 1948 holiday shopping season. Land chose Jordan Marsh department store in Boston to test market 57 of his new invention. All 57 cameras and all of the film sold out the first day!
The first model was the Land 95, which weighed over 9 pounds.

The invention of modern instant cameras is generally credited to Edwin Land, who unveiled the first commercial instant camera, the Land Camera, in 1947
Disposable Polaroid? I'm not aware of Polaroid disposables (though everyone else seems to have jumped on that bandwagon). The original Polaroid camera was placed on the market in 1948.
Edwin Land first conceived of the instant camera in 1944, while on vacation with his family in New Mexico. The official prototype was demonstrated in 1947, and first marketed in 1948.
Launched in 1947, the first instant camera and film marked the beginning of Polaroid's rise toward multibillion dollar sales

The Wembley website states that you cannot take any "professional cameras or recording devices" into the stadium. I have been to plenty of games and concerts there and seen many compact cameras and camera phones being used. So any standard camera below an SLR seems to be fine. Before I knew this I once made the mistake of taking an 'Bridge' SLR (so not even a full SLR) and I was treated like a terrorist, being pushed into a side room, interrogated for 10 mins, had my camera confiscated and was almost refused entry to the gig even without my camera. They completely refused to accept that photography can be a hobby as well as a profession. You have been warned!
Empty battery, water, stain, dust or somebody threw it at the floor.
Hopefully never, but all good things must come to an end.
It depends on where you are seeing this number. Most shutter speed conventions do not use o1/12.5 of a second as a shutter speed; the closest would probably be 15 meaning 1/15th of a second, which is a very long/slow shutter speed usually producing blurs if you're not using a tripod. I can't think of a camera with that as a preset shutter speed but your camera might. You may possibly be looking at an intermediate f-stop (between 11 and 16) being reported on your screen or wherever these are shown (your LCD?) when you are in shutter priority mode where you are setting a fixed shutter speed and then the camera automatically adjusts for f stop (aperture) based on WB and ISO and is sophisticated enough to report an f-stop between 11 and 16).
I DON'T HAVE AN ALCOHOL PROBLEM, WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP SAYING THAT! STOP BEING JUDGEMENTAL, I CAN STOP WHENEVER I WANT TO!
Digital photography pretty much devastated all film and other chemical processed photography including Polaroid "instant" prints.
Well, to think of it, i think it will stop being made after power rangers mega force.
1964
they stop making the 3000 gt in 1999 :(
Packards were made from 1899 to 1958.
They didn't, calendars are still being made today. Source: My mailbox is full of them.
f-stop
When the f-stop of a camera increases in size the aperature also gets bigger
oink?
not for a long time
Lack of profit
