It goes without saying that it's impossible to see everything at CES — the products are too many and the days too short. Fortunately for us, we were able to get our hands on a number of new cameras that will be available in the coming months. Manufacturers are showing off high-speed and Wi-Fi connectivity, as well as even taking steps into thus far untouched territory with sensor technology. Get up to speed — and start saving… Read More

You'd think things would be rather quiet at the Polaroid booth during CES. The legacy brand is tied to its auto-print cameras, which have remained despite our digital times. But Polaroid is doing its best to embrace connectivity and give some new interpretation to the concept of “instant” with a new addition to its product lineup. Last year, Polaroid showed off some fairly conceptual gadgets, including the GL10 instant printer… Read More

Back in January, we got a look at Polaroid’s Lady Gaga-influenced new lineup at CES, including the GL10 instant mobile printer. Lady Gaga herself was on hand to reveal the products and offered us a demo of the printer in use by remotely printing a photo from her BlackBerry. The GL10 is compatible with Bluetooth-enabled devices – except one very important one: The iPhone. We’ve been hearing a solution is on the way, but for now you’ll have… Read More

Hobby film photographers and lomography fans alike will be pleased to know that the Lomography brand has just released a new plastic camera to continue the tradition of 35mm film and plastic cameras. If the term is new to you, the term lomography refers to both the specific brand today as well as a hobby style of photography that uses cheaply-made film cameras to create colorful, dreamy photographs. Opposite to today's modern DSLR specs,… Read More

It's difficult to find a person who regularly prints their own pictures. Digital cameras have all but replaced the need for one-hour photo kiosks, and sites like Flickr and Facebook have become the medium for photo viewing. So it's only natural that the already niche instant-print camera audience is being whittled away at by technology. Polaroid is resurrecting its brand with a new dual-function “instant print meets… Read More

It looks like Intel is taking a page out of Polaroid’s book. The instant-print camera company brought Lady Gaga on as creative director last year, and now chip manufacturer Intel has hired will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas for the same purpose.

A massive crowd swarmed around the Polaroid booth at around 3:30 pm this afternoon on the CES show floor. A giant projection screen stood behind a small white stage reading “Grey Revealed” and counting down the minutes until Lady Gaga arrived, or so was the rumor. Eventually the crowd's anticipation was gratified when Chairman Bobby Sager asked Lady Gaga herself to the stage. The pop star is the brand's new Creative… Read More

CES 2011 is right around the corner, and the predictions are piling up. We already know a lot about the general trends we’re sure to see at the trade show, but let’s not forget all of the rumors about specific products surrounding the week in Vegas that have been building up all winter. Here’s a little insight on some of the most hyped speculations that we'll know more about come January 5.

Could this be the year Polaroid makes a comeback? That's probably wishful thinking, but it’s sure finding a way to stay relevant. In an age where digital everything has nearly made the word manual obsolete, the auto-print camera is keeping with the times. Polaroid has released an official app for the iPhone with the help of developer LoL Software.   It features over 30 filters and of course, that classic Polaroid border in various colors.… Read More

Anticipation over Polaroid’s upcoming instant camera release at CES is building, and while there are innumerable reasons to get excited about a digital camera that instantaneously prints photos, it’s the resurrection of some classic Polaroid products that we’re getting excited about. The Impossible Project collaborated with Photojojo to rerelease three vintage Polaroid cameras: the company’s very first creation, the SX-70, the Rainbow OneStep,… Read More

Polaroid is up to something, but we don't know what it is…yet. Today, the camera maker sent out invitations to many media publications that included little more than a cryptic image hinting at a new device it will be showing at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. The image, which only says “Grey Revealed,” is below. Some have speculated that the new product could mark the return of instant-printing cameras from… Read More

Last week we gave you a glimpse at some of the craziest, stupidest and most downright worthless fashion-themed gadgets we’ve ever run across. This week, we’re sorry to say, it gets even worse. Click here to read part 1. 10. Grande Headphones in Sashimi These are actually an attractive set of cans when they aren’t manufactured in the most disgusting combination of three colors you’ve ever seen mashed… Read More

To no one’s surprise, the mainstream arrival of digital cameras over a decade ago decimated Polaroid’s business by taking the company’s main attraction – instant photos – and eliminating the need for the film. But unlike the famous white-rimmed squares that could be traded from person-to-person, pinned up on corkboards, and squirreled away for posterity, their digital replacements lacked any real substance outside fleeting glimpses on a… Read More

Although you'd never know it too look at their Web site, press releases, or significant announcements, Polaroid has rolled out its i1032 digital camera, a consumer-oriented point-and-shoot with a video mode and a whopping 10 megapixel resolution. And here's the kicker: Polaroid's snuck it into venues like Wal-Mart for as little as $298. Besides the eye-popping 10 megapixel resolution, the i1032 features a 3x optical and 4x… Read More
