And you thought that only dinosaur sized cameras can print photos instantly? Take a look at this camera which brings out the best in both worlds and is not gigantic in size either. Get the best of both worlds with the Polaroid Z2300 Instant Digital Camera ($160). Sporting a 10 megapixel sensor, 3-inch LCD, and SD storage, it’s a capable compact camera, but thanks to the built-in ZINK printer, it’s much more — on-board editing tools let you crop images and add effects before printing them out in full color, giving you both a digital file and a 2×3, smudge-proof, water-resistant print with a sticky back for good measure. Arriving in August.
