Polaroid Z2300

Polaroid Z2300 with the ability to print 2×3 inch photos. Utilizing Zink paper with the ink built right inside, the camera is capable of both taking and storing digital photos and printing them out whenever you’d like.The prototype that we saw was quite intriguing.The Polaroid Z2300 is honestly a bit of a brick. Now don’t get me wrong, it can fit into a shirt pocket, but it also feels much larger than your traditional point and shoot. There is good reason for that though: it is because it needs to store paper in it to print images. Once you fully acknowledge that fact, you can get past the size.However, I’d actually recommend that Polaroid embraces its size and history when this camera gets released. To that end, I also hope that they release or work with third party manufacturers to create leather cases for it. That would make this one super sexy camera.The front of the camera is sleek. It comes in white, black and tan (at least from what I saw.) and has hints of their old Polaroid traditions on the front that also hint to today’s Instagram. There is a lens, a flash and that’s pretty much it.
