Am I correct that you can use Fuji FP 100C, FP 3000B, & fp 100B ?

Yes but make darn sure the rollers are clean and corrosion free I polished mine with 00 steal wool.

I concur - Don't pay much because you'll either be buying a $15 battery or spending some time adapting cells to work in it. as Larry said, you'll have to make sure the rollers are super clean or you'll get recurring dots on the print, and also some folks have had trouble with the fuji packs jamming up in some packfilm cameras. You can modify the camera's filmpack tensioning springs if this is the case though - haven't done it myself but I'm sure someone here has, or do a quick google search. Fuji's films are awesome in this arena by the way. FP3000b is one of the best films I've ever used in my opinion.

Is Polaroid 600 pack film still available, and if not, which is the best substitute?

Not made at the moment a new company is about to make it again.. expect about 3 bucks a shot.

Forget that, then.  Simpler just to toss the Polaroid camera in the sh1tcan.

The 250 and it's ilk don't use 600 film.  They use packfilm, which is still made my Fuji.

Sorry, Nathan, since this was a Polaroid thread I thought I'd ask about the 600.  The one I have is probably not a 250, then.

I'd consult The Land List:  http://www.rwhirled.com/landlist/landhome.htm 

Any Polaroid related questions will probably be answered there.
