Polaroid’s Z340 Instant Digital Camera melds together the joy of an instant Polaroid and the convenience of a digital camera. With no ink, no computer, and no hassles, the Z340 prints out 3 x 4″ full color images. You can add fun borders, including the classic Polaroid border logo format, and upload custom borders that express your personal style. The camera boasts a resolution of 14Mp for clear, bright pictures with that Polaroid look. The camera features a 2.7″ LCD screen that allows you to see the image before you print. You can even crop and make other edits before printing the image. Files are also stored to SD memory cards for archiving and in-camera editing.
Consumers who appreciate a taste of nostalgia when it comes to photography will instantly understand the offering of this digital camera. The printer, unlike Polaroid’s original camera, uses ZINK Zero Ink Printing Technology. In other words, no ink is used to process the image, and instead the printing process depends on an advanced composite material made of cyan, yellow, and magenta dye crystals embedded inside. Heat those crystals and a long lasting image appears thanks to a smudge proof tech and a water resistant coating.
Polaroid received the CES 2012 Innovations Honorees Award in the Personal Electronics category along with other twenty companies.
