At first many of us believed that Instagram was only really good for looking at endless pictures of people’s dinner along with a plethora of slutty selfies. So when Facebook purchased the picture sharing app for a cool $1billion last year we were all left scratching our heads thinking “haven’t they got plenty of that already”. Well, Instagram’s user count has gone through the roof (it now stands at over 100 million) so what better time to start considering how to claw back some of that cheddar, and it seems Zuckerberg was sitting on a cash cow all along!
We now have official conformation that an Instagram camera will be going into production and it will be made by none other than the originators of point-and-click photography, Polaroid. No spec has been announced yet, but we do know they have reserved the rights to knock out accessories as well, such as straps, bags and mirror polish (for when you want to take a picture of your buttocks and you don’t want it to seem like that stain is on your cream hot pants).
Do you think these cameras will take off or will they be thrown in the trash alongside Betamax and Meg Ryan?

God that’s hot.
I’ve got a feeling these will be the new ‘must have’ gadget/camera. While everyone has an iphone, etc I think this will appeal to a special niche that want to have physical pictures in their hands and on the net
PLUS who doesn’t want to print some of these and mount them on magnets? It’s arts and crafts time kidzzzzzzzz
I think we’ll see them hanging round the necks of everyone at festivals, gigs, holidays and probably nights out. F*ck Will.i.am
Definite purchase.
[...] then we’ll let you know. In our opinion, this is up there with the prototype for the Instagram Camera by Polaroid as the most eagerly anticipated piece of hipster-tech this year. Now they just need to hurry up and [...]
