The Polaroid is BACK, baby.. yeahhhh!
‘Click – Snap – Phizzzzzzz.. Plunk. Flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap..’
All the sounds of the late great Polaroid Instamatic Camera.. Ahh, how we loved thee.
Not enough to keep buying you perhaps.. but, ahh.. how we loved you all the same.
Yes, the world suffered a great loss in the tragic demise of the Polaroid camera. We mourned it’s passing. We searched on ebay to pick up a straggler. Well, i did. But just when hope was lost, when days were at their darkest.. like a little photographic version of the messiah – the saviour rose again. Indeed, what was once lost is now found, and news that the unique little camera is making it’s way back to the shelves is surely the delight of many a consumer. But things are different this time around, this time it’s wearing a brand new set of 21st Century techno-togs, all like, digitalised and shiny and stuff. A veritable Jesus in a nanotube toga.

I’m sure you know that printers aren’t the world’s most exciting tech product to review (although I’m sure Gary over at Idiot Toys would disagree), however when the video above is presented by perky, bubbly Zara, it makes for positively hilarious watching.
The Zink will retail for £99…
One day, hopefully we can replace old Polaroids with this digital Polaroid photo frame
Polaroid may’ve committed suicide just last week, but designer David Friedman over at Ironic Sans has drawn (ok, Adobe Illustrated) up a conceptual digital Polaroid idea, similar to a poxy digital photo frame but obviously with that now-retro appeal.
Photos can be loaded onto the Polaroid by the memory card slot at the bottom of the frame, and with the touch-screen, you can choose…
Polaroid replaces Instamatic with Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer
Polaroid is synonymous with instant pictures, most notably with the Instamatic camera. That’s now a thing of the past, but Polaroid isn’t giving up on instant photos – it’s now offering the Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer.
YouTube Video of the Day – Polaroid film
For me, YouTube is at its best when showcasing young talent. That an catching up highlights from footy matches you’ve missed. Here’s an experiment to “exploit the single frames that make up an animated film” says filmmaker Jordan C Greenhalgh. The short was created with 987 polaroids and no computer compositing… and looks all the better for it. Although, he did use a computer to upload it…
Don't miss a blinkin' thing with the BlinkCam
