What’s a polaroid camera doing here, on a gadget site?
Thought they were long gone or old school?
Think again!
With this latest version, the Polaroid Two Digital Instant Camera, you get the best of both worlds, a compact 7 megapixel digital camera that will also print your photos out onto 2” x 3” sticky back photo paper. Great if you want to quickly share photos with friends or relatives.
The camera actually has a 5 megapixel sensor which uses interpolation to increase the image quality to about 7 megapixels, this quality is fine for all but the most professional snappers. It has a 4x digital zoom and rechargeable battery.
The camera records its images to a memory card so you can download them later to your pc as usual if you don’t want to print them straight away.
Talking of printing, the polaroid two uses inbuilt pogo printer technology to produce a print in about 40 seconds. The heat activated zinc paper it uses is water and fade resistant, smudge proof and tear proof. You can use the 3” screen to decide which pictures to print and make a number of changes including removing red-eye, adding dates, borders and cropping.
We think this newer compact version of the polaroid will become very popular because of its versatility, it’s great for parties, nights out, holidays and meetings. Use just like any digital compact camera but with the added advantage of small instant prints any time you want them.
The Polaroid Two is available now for $330 (£205).
