Polaroid’s new Z340 camera returns to its roots with a digital twist

Add as a preferred source on Google

Sure, any photos we snap these days can be online in a matter of seconds, but Polaroid still believes in the power of a physical print delivered almost as quickly as we can upload a photo.

The company recently debuted its Z340 Instant Digital Camera, which combines the Polaroid devices of days gone by with modern digital technology. The result is a 14-megapixel camera that delivers instant, full-color prints in under a minute.

The camera will use ZINK Inkless Printing to produce 3×4″ prints of photos that can be edited (adding borders, cropping, etc) before printing.

You can check out the full specs for the camera — which retails for $300 — over at the Polaroid website.

Of course, now it’s just a matter of time until we hear some young whippersnapper talking about how the camera is just ripping off Instagram.

Check out our hands-on video of the Polaroid Z340 here.
