Fuji Packfilms

Hello-
I am a die hard fan of Polaroid and my stock of films are dwindiling and I am going to have to make the switch over to fuji :(. I was wondering if Fuji ever offered packfilm cameras or if their films were designed with Polaroid in mind. I could not find a Fuji Packfilm camera on line. Thanks

Patrick,
Fuji offers several things. They recently introduced the Instax system to the US as their answer to Polaroid integral film.

They also make certain pack films, such as FP-100C. A pro photographer I know uses this for passport photos in his Polaroid passport camera. And I believe there are some Fuji 4x5 instant films as well.

FP-100C will fit your old polaroid film holders (at least mine for the Mamiya RZ67), for the FP-100C45 you'll need a special holder. As far as I can tell, they stopped making a BW version of the 4x5 (correct me if I am wrong).
As for "polaroid camera", I saw the instax 200 at B&H, it is pretty huge and quite ugly, IMO.

I was already aware that Fuji made packfilms I was just wondering if they ever made Fuji cameras for these film. I also think that the instax is rather ugly
