    DSLR settings to take Polaroid-like Photos in Camera
    I own a Canon Xsi with a 18-55 basic lens, and am VERY curious as to what settings I could use to create a a polaroid like photo IN CAMERA. I realize that there are programs out there to "polaroidize" your photo, and instructions on how to do it in adobe. However does anyone know the correct settings (WB, exposure, ect) to create a polaroid-like image right from the camera?

    Your response is very much appreciated.

    I don't think there are any in-camera settings with Canon cameras for something like that. You could try increasing the in-camera contrast and saturation settings. But I don't think you're going to get anything that looks like a Polaroid image. I would actually discourage you from shooting like that. If you want that look, it would be better to do it in post-processing. That way you still have a clean original, should you need it.
