can i use the polaroid 300 film for old cameras? (replacing the polaroid 600 film)?
i have a very old polaroid that i got off ebay. It uses the polaroid 600 instant film. But people are saying that they don'tmake the 600 i.film anymore, but if they did, it would be hard to find. Big W in Melb are selling the 300 instant film for the new modern polaroid camera. I just want to know if im able to use the polaroid 300 film instead of the polaroid 600 film for my old polaroid camera.. Thanks :)

No, 300 is a lot smaller. Here's my standard polaroid film answer, prices in US $
Polaroid film
Polaroid stopped making these films in 2006 or so. What's left of the original polaroid production is fetching ever increasing prices. $40 per pack (10 photographs) is not at all unusual, I've seen them go for $160 for a triple pack (30 exposures). All polaroid stock is now expired which means that colors may not be what you'd expect and pretty soon we'll see battery problems as well (with the 600 series the battery is in the film pack)
Places to look for old film, ebay and amazon.
Now in the Netherlands a group of ex employees have bought an old polaroid factory and are making film again. It's not perfect yet since they need to do some reverse engineering but they are making progress. Their webshop is here: http://shop.the-impossible-project.com/shop/
Yes, being trendy/retro/fashionable comes at a price.
