Doing a search for the Polaroid x530 on PhotographyBLOG reveals the rather optimistic headlines like “Polaroid x530 Now Available”. First revealed way back in February 2004, the Polaroid x530 is the first compact digital camera to feature the Foveon X3 direct image sensor. Well, it would be if it ever reached the shops. There may be a chink of light at the end of the tunnel, however, as Polaroid have announced yet another release date for the long-delayed 4.5 megapixel x530.  Available August 2005 declares the Polaroid Digital Camera website. Will this elusive camera ever make it out of the factory? I wouldn’t bet my house on it (not that I own one, but still you get the idea…).
