Instant Resurrection

Jessie Atkin posted a new blog on Digital Landing. Read about the new digital version of the polaroid camera.

Polaroid has gone but the instant picture revolution is not over.

Beyond updated classics like the mini printer, digital cameras, and the Tomy Camera , Fuji has introduced the Instax Camera. Credit card sized photos are available instantly on special Instax film. It comes in three colors, white, blue, and pink. The pictures aren’t quite the same shape Polaroids used to be, but I’m willing to make exceptions where instant photography is concerned.

Lucky for us the Instax camera has been given the go ahead by Polaroid itself, so we don’t have to fear empty shelves, at least for a little while.

New Snapshots

In this digital age we’re all about instant gratification, so it makes sense that, like the Polaroid before it, instant photos on the go are making a comeback in the Tomy camera. It comes at an especially important time as Polaroid film begins to disappear from shelves everywhere.

Introduced through Zink, the company that makes “zero ink printers” the Tomy is a digital camera with printer attached. Print little mini photos on the go as you go where ever you go. There is the question of print quality, but part of the fun of polaroids was there unique lack of quality. I’m keen on an updated digital idea, and the pictures make the cameras look really cute too.
