Polaroid Two PoGo/ZINK Instant Camera Digital Camera with Integrated ZINK Printer

Back in January (yes, that far back) we covered an up and coming
Polaroid instant (ZINK) camera that was expected to launch right about
now and, right on time, here it is - complete with its official title -
in the form of the Polaroid Two which brings together the capabilities
of a digital camera (very much of the point and shoot variety) with the
integrated convenience of Polaroid's PoGo ZINK printer housed in one
tidy and decidedly pocket friendly package.

The Polaroid Two offers 5 megapixel resolution with 4x digital zoom and
a 3 LCD display which, as far as (even rudimentary) cameras go, if far
from exciting but it's the Polaroid Two's ability to print captured
imagery directly at 300dpi via the camera itself - courtesy of the
integrated PoGo printer using ZINK printing technology - that will be
the camera's undoubted draw.
Other key features include a timer, a range of scene modes (Auto,
Manual, Landscape, Fireworks, Soft flowing water, Splashing water,
Portrait Man, Portrait Lady), in-built red-eye removal and movie mode
with sound and SD card compatibility which, if you're looking for a
basic point and shoot camera, ticks most (though not all - no face
detection?) of the boxes.

Agreed, were this just a compact camera, we'd slate it for being a
wholly dull affair but we can, and will, forgive its somewhat basic
features in light of the fact that it'll happily reel out hard color
copies of your images directly and, besides, it's a Polaroid - and a
new, modern take on their instamatics - and that alone is cause for
celebration.

The Polaroid Two with integrated PoGo ZINK printer can be pre-ordered in
the UK as of now for around 230GBP.

(UPDATE: The guys at TechFresh have let us know that the Polaroid Two is
also now listed as available to pre-order on Amazon (US) for just shy of
$200 - thanks guys)
