Tech Gets Retro at CES


 

Nothing says "80s photography" like a Polaroid 600 camera. The people behind the modern incarnation of Polaroid have tried to recapture that instant aesthetic with cameras like the Pogo, but none of them had that certain something that made the pictures feel like Polaroids. Now, Lady Gaga introduces the GL30: it actually looks something like an old-fashioned Polaroid camera, with its boxy, tapered shape. It is, of course, a digital camera that also prints 3x4 inch prints using Polaroid's ZINK technology. Pictures can be reviewed on a screen near the viewfinder before they are printed (only 10 blank pictures come in each pack). Best part: you can add in white border around you image to give it that vintage Polaroid look, when printed.
