Polaroid Snap review: On-demand photo nostalgia

It's the most basic point-and-shoot digital camera and it's paired with a built-in mini photo printer -- and it's a lot of fun.

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 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.

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.

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.
