Polaroid Snap Instant Digital Camera review

More than likely pictures from your smartphone will put those from the Polaroid Snap to shame. If that's your main concern -- a camera that's better than your phone -- stop reading and go here . The Snap just isn't about that.

The Polaroid Snap is a basic instant print camera that also captures 10-megapixel photos to a memory card. It's absolutely easy and fun to use.

The print quality is good, but won't blow you away, especially at around 50 cents a print. Likewise, the digital photos can't compete with a decent phone camera. There's no flash, and the rechargeable battery isn't user replaceable.

The Polaroid Snap is an instant camera that's equal parts past and present, with a nostalgic trick -- printing actual photos -- that your phone's camera can't duplicate.

Polaroid Snap

We played with the Polaroid Snap, a 10Mp digital camera that prints inklessly and instantly on Zink Zero Ink paper. If you're looking to get one, here's what to expect.

Polaroid Snap is a pocket-sized instant-print camera

The camera is very basic and the prints are small, but if you're looking for an inexpensive and travel-friendly way to shoot instant photos, the Snap could be the answer.

Polaroid Snap Instant Review

The Polaroid Snap Instant Digital Camera is a digital version of Polaroid's instant camera, and can print out small photos on Zink paper.

Zink prints can be used as stickers ; Great at parties ; MicroUSB charging ; Stylish and compact ; Best results with black and white

Poor image quality ; Poor colour (especially when using LED flash) ; Not as instant as an analogue instant camera ; No video mode ; No screen

Whilst the Polaroid Snap can be fun, it is not as much fun as a real analog instant camera, such as the Fujifilm Instax Mini, although you do get a digital copy of the photo. MicroUSB charging makes it easy to charge the camera. The simple design and...

Polaroid Snap prints photos as stickers in 35 seconds [REVIEW]

The $99 Polaroid Snap instant digital camera prints photos on 2- x 3-inch stickers and is tons of fun for all ages.

Only $99.99 ; Cheap ZINK sticker paper ; Three nifty color modes and border mode

Digital photos saved to microSD card look terrible ; Weak battery

The Polaroid Snap is all kinds of fun for everyone of all ages.

Polaroid Snap Instant Digital Camera ( blue)

Priced at $100, £90, AU$200, the Snap is about having fun with your photography and being able to enjoy your pics -- not on a screen, but on a wall or notebook or anywhere you want to put an actual, 2x3-inch borderless print. It is, however, a...

Polaroid Snap Review

The new Polaroid Snap camera attempts to recapture the fun of instant photography, but with a modern, digital twist.

As with many cameras like this, such as those produced by Lomo, the main purpose and point of the Polaroid Snap is to have fun and experience something a little different.

For kids, and many of us adults, taking pictures is all about fun and creating memories to keep and share. The Polaroid Snap, with its minimal controls, lets users do just that, with the added attraction of having both digital and instant-printing...

Simple to use ; Creates digital files and instant prints ; Rechargeable battery
