Polaroid Electric Zip camera...?
i recently got my hands on this old polaroid electric zip camera.
i have the manuel and everything and it says it takes type 88 color film and type 87 black and white film.
i also know that polaroid has discontinued a lot of film for some of these old camera.
i was wondering if anyone knew if this film for this camera still exists...or if fuji or some other company made some replacements???

Sorry, but your Electric Zip camera uses the old square format packfilm, which is no longer available.
Fuji does make a replacement packfilm for Polaroid cameras, but it is the rectangular 3-1/4x4-1/4 sized film.
For more info on packfilm cameras, check out the Land List:

I can't say for certain, but I doubt that you will find good film for this camera. The Zip is an old model and wasn't the best of the line by any means. At any rate- you have a great conversation piece! If you do find some film, be very careful as it most likely is too old to do anything. I sometimes buy old film just to have as part of the package for collectors sake. Enjoy!
