Just when you thought digital cameras were dead thanks to the proliferation of cell phone cameras, the Polaroid Socialmatic arrived on my desk. This camera is different from other cameras, mainly because it has a built in printer.
One of the first things I noticed about the Socialmatic is that it’s nowhere near pocket-sized. This camera is large, square, bulky and not easy to hold. To do some initial tests, I brought it to meet some friends at the pub and took some shots. Sadly the photos were rather dark on their own. Adding the flash helped, but gave the photos a bleached out overly-bright look.
That said, the convienience of being able to print photos on the spot is appealing. I’ll post a full review after further testing.

This was the fourth article I’ve just been related to this one and it was the one that made it the most clear to me. I liked.
Thank you!
