Some things do come back from the grave. Polaroid instant cameras and film for instance. The SX-70 style cameras and films that were first invented in 1948 by Dr. Edwin Land, are soon going to be making a "retro" comeback.
Polaroid had to ditch the instant side of it's business when digital cameras began to outsell analog film cameras. They stopped production of the cameras and film in June 2008.
This was a camera system that was loved by artists and photographers the world over for it's iconic 4" x 4" square image format that gave a instant image that could be also manipulated for wild looking artistic photos .
Two companies; Summit Global, and The Impossible Project have acquired the rights and production equipment from Polaroid to begin making those beloved cameras again.
