I think it is interesting that Instagram has really changed our mobile world, so much so that now cameras are adapting to it. Not the most people use cameras these days since they have gone to cellular phones.

Polaroid, for example, has responded to this Instagram trend that will not end with the Socialmatic Instant Camera. Not only can you take pictures with its 14 Megapixel camera, but it has GPS for geotagging and WiFi so you can put it on Instagram.

Yes, this camera is powered by Android and it has a 4.5 color touchscreen. It has a 2 Megapixel front camera good for selfies, and 4GB of built-in storage with a microSD expansion slot for 32GB of additional memory.

Let’s see, I think I’ve covered all the features…oh wait, it is a camera. It is capable of giving the user 2 x 3 prints. Yeah, remember when cameras did those? At least you don’t have to wait an hour at the photo developers to get them made.

All that, and it looks like the Instagram logo. It should be out around January 1, 2015. Yes, I have no idea why it couldn’t be out earlier, especially with the holiday season. This really looks like it would be the perfect gift.

I’m going to see if I can’t get one of these to review. If Polaroid will give me one, I will be writing a follow-up hands-on review article.
