Well, not really.  With a Polaroid, you got an instant print, and with
digital you get a, well, what do you get?  You can immediately preview it on
a little 1.8" LCD, but you can't take the picture and put it on the
refrigerator then and there...which I find rather fun to do...as I have an
SX-70, and have a fridge door full of fun pictures, and a few shelves full
of them too...and albums...  They're kind of neat.
