The company that pioneered instant photography still makes instant film and cameras, digital cameras, specialty photo gear (lenses and filters), professional imaging equipment, and security ID-card systems.

The company's products are sold in supermarkets and specialty stores, by discounters (Wal-Mart ), and through its Web site.
