Cool Polaroid Instant Cameras are back...

Interesting - no ink or ribbons - the paper is the film...


Polaroid Z2300 Instant Digital Camera



Quote:
Having trouble deciding between analog and digital photography? Get the best of both worlds with the Polaroid Z2300 Instant Digital Camera ($160). Sporting a 10 megapixel sensor, 3-inch LCD, and SD storage, it's a capable compact camera, but thanks to the built-in ZINK printer, it's much more — on-board editing tools let you crop images and add effects before printing them out in full color, giving you both a digital file and a 2x3, smudge-proof, water-resistant print with a sticky back for good measure. Arriving in August.
(Polaroid via UnCrate)

Even James Garner and Mariette Hartley won't be able to sell that one.

An ordinary pocket digicam with a built-in printer of wallet-size snaps may sound goofy at first, but this could actually find a niche market.

Passport photos come to mind, but who knows what other uses there could be?

I wouldn't write this one off too quickly...

I agree... time will tell but lots of people still like having a print and if the quality is decent instant can be a lot of fun at parties and other social occasions.

Did see some results. Quality was quite good but then the natural North lighting in the old Gushul Studio is about as good as it gets.

Sounds interesting cost per print isn't too bad if the prices I saw are correct. Think it worked out to 20 cents a photo. My guess is it would be fun to have at a wedding reception or party.

Yea the wedding idea is kinda cool. Really the market for this in my mind is probably the tween - teen market. They love printing out photos of friends and don't care so much about quality that often.

20 cents pe photo when you can take any digital camera and take thousands of pictures for free and only print the ones you really want. A very small niche indeed.
