However, the charm of its products is still alive in the heyday of digital cameras. Former Polaroid employees and related aspiring people who love such products have launched a joint venture called "implantable Project" to sell ready-made recycled products of land cameras around the world, including Japan.

Originally, I didn't think that the action of "impulse purchase" had a "strategy", but in many cases, people are often forced to find reasons for impulse purchase through modification.
This is sometimes a logical excuse for cohabiting people, but also for their own persuasion.
