Polaroid is back – in an instant
Summit Global, the exclusive licensee of Polaroid imaging has announced the return of one of the most iconic camera brands.
Polaroid will once again manufacture a range of classic instant film products like the Polaroid “600” instant film, and also bring back a range of instant cameras to use them with, including the easy to use ‘Polaroid One’.

Xiao Digital Camera – Polaroid for the 21st Century
I was having a discussion with my girlfriend the other day about Polaroid Camera. She’s a big fan, but I always thought they represented the worst of both worlds between analogue and digital. Still, some people adore them, and if you’re one of them, then this product, straight out of Japan from toy company Tomy, might excite you.
At its core, it’s essentially just a camera with a printer strapped on. That might not sound particularly impressive, but it replicates exactly what the old Polaroid cameras used to do. The camera is a five megapixel jobby, and has infrared so that mobile phones can send their pics to the camera for printing purposes.
SHINY VIDEO REVIEW: Polaroid PoGo Printer
Here’s the Polaroid PoGo. It’s a photo-printer. Lucy checks it out above. It’s Bluetooth, it’s fast, and it’s only £90 or so. The little prints that you get out are 2″ x 3″. Remember that refill cartridges will cost you extra, so budget in for those, too, if you planning to get one.
