Polaroid Introduces a New Camera That Takes Instant Inkless Pictures

Many people are still old enough to remember the old Polaroid Instant Cameras that would spit out photographs that you had to shake to reveal the image.  These cameras were great because at the time digital cameras didn’t exist and you couldn’t view the image before you and your friends left the area.  It also gave you a photo right then and there. Now Polaroid is once again releasing an instant camera.  This Polaroid camera is a hybrid digital/instant camera and will be released soon.  While saving a copy of every photo to an SD card the camera also spits out a picture using no ink.  The camera is capable of printing photos onto instant photo paper that has crystals stored in it.  The technology behind this is known as ZINK paper. The camera itself will cost $99 while a five pack of the paper for the camera will cost $25.  Like the original Polaroid camera this may be a little expensive but the convenience of having a picture instantly has always drawn people.
