This might be the perfect camera for some, best of both worlds they called it.
Polaroid has been such a brand that almost any camera that creates instant films, we called them Polaroid. The brand Polaroid is etched into our mind and unarguably our heart too when these amazing cameras has an ability to print out our memories instantly.
Who doesn’t love a fuss free camera that prints out instant images on a white frame film with special effects on it?
Perhaps, if you are as lazy as yours truly the only downside to it is turning these films into digital image.
That annoying moment when you have to scan those films one by one so that it’ll appear on your Facebook making you look cool and all.
Here’s what Polaroid has got in store for you.
If you didn’t know, Polaroid actually produced digital cameras and this is one of the newest addition into the family.
#1 Polaroid Z2300, a 10 megapixel digital camera.
What is so cool about this digital camera is that you not only can capture images digitally, you can also print it out right away like how Polaroid instant camera do it.
#2 Just like any other digital camera but with a twist.
Capture the moment, edit the picture as you wish through the camera, upload it to social platform, and finally print it out right through the camera.
#3 White Z2300 and that’s how pictures will be printed.
THIS IS AN ALL IN ONE!
I was mad excited about the camera and yes, this could be the best gift to myself as it only cost USD159.99.
The films for Polaroid Z2300 is not your ordinary Polaroid films.
#4 Is it a 2×3″ borderless paper and it comes in a pack of 30 sheets (USD 14.99) or 50 sheets (USD 24.99).
Yes, borderless but you can edit the image and add in a white frame border making it look almost identical to Polaroid instant films.

Quick Start Guide
This will be my impulse buy if I have extra money laying around but on second thought, I asked myself if I really need this camera.
It’s definitely nice to have one, especially when my old camera died. It’s even better when the camera can print out images instantly but seeing that I do already have my Instax, how often will I print images through Z2300?
Not to mention from the reviews I read, Z2300 is not of the best quality. More of a toy camera that’s not made from the best plastic.
But as I said, I wouldn’t mind because for less than Rm600 for a camera you cant ask for much.
Polaroid Z2300 is more for the fun people who doesn’t mind using a normal camera as long as they have fun capturing, editing and printing the pictures.
Too bad it is only available in US for the moment and the product is currently only available for pre-order which will take about 2-3 weeks to ship after placing your order.
I can find my way to get it back from US if I want but the question here is, should I or should I not?
