Although it could be argued that Polaroid is a brand that has faded over the years, the announcement of the Polaroid Pop Instant Camera shows that the brand is still on top of its game. The new camera was shown at CES 2017, which coincided with the brand's 80th anniversary.
The Polaroid Pop Instant Camera features a built-in photo printer and has a 20MP camera as well as a 3.9-inch LCD. Users can take advantage of 1080p video recording capabilities, while a microSD slot enables users to capture without worry that they'll run out of space.
The Polaroid Pop Instant Camera works great as an independent camera, but also connects to a smartphone to act as a photo printer for creating real-life keepsakes for friends and family.
