After causing waves for many years because of the patented cameras for taking instant shots who within seconds were printed on paper, Polaroid suffered a change of direction at CES 2012.
Nobody was expecting this, as Android, as a operating system, ended up being used on a wide ranger of products, but Polaroid made a nice surprise and released a photo camera that is very similar to a current smartphone or PMP.
The new camera of the company, named SC1630 Smart Camera, integrates a 3,2 inch touchscreen, a 16 MP sensor, a lens equivalent to a 36 – 108 mm objective. The camera has 141 grams weight, and from inside the Android interface you can select one of the 18 preset scenes for photos.
A important aspect of the new camera is socializing. With the help of a WiFi connection the photos can be uploaded on the cloud or on the Facebook social network.
Access to Android Market is also present on the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera. So, you have access to many photography apps that can help you apply filters or special effects, as well as allowing you to upload your photos on countless social networks or photo sharing websites.
