Kodak Printomatic is a new 10MP Instant Zink Print Camera perfect for special occasions

Kodak recently unveiled its newest instant Zink print camera to the world. The Kodak Printomatic 10-Megapixel Print Camera produces high-quality images that can be shared instantly. With its recent developments and this new addition, Kodak has truly become the come-back kid in the area of digital photography.

The new instant camera can save images to a microSD card, but the standout feature here is its ability to print high-quality shots on 2 x 3-inch Zink paper quickly. Without the need for a computer connection or even Wi-Fi, the camera is capable of producing photos without ink cartridges, toner or film. It also features two integrated picture modes, a low battery indicator, automatic flash and an overall simplified design from its predecessor the Polaroid Snap. The integrated lithium-ion battery is also USB rechargeable.

The prints it spits out are “durable, water- and tear-resistant” and even have an adhesive back great for those into scrapbooking or photo album creation. It’s a great starter camera for kids and even better for parties and weddings when instant photography can add to the occasion. Kodak says “It’s fun, fast and easy to use.” Plus, the camera is small enough to fit right in your pocket and is “great for sharing colorful, smudge-free photos with friends and family.” The camera can even shoot a new photo while still printing the previous shot, so you won’t be stuck missing that next great picture.

“The Kodak Printomatic is a contemporary camera with a wonderful balance of digital and analog technology,” says Steven Overman, President of Kodak’s Consumer and Film Division and Kodak Chief Marketing Officer. “It’s an accessible device for anybody who wants to create a lasting memory in a tangible, colorful way.”

The camera will come with a USB charging cable, quick start guide, a 10-pack of Zink photo paper and an unspecified size memory card. You’ll be able to purchase the Zink paper in 20 or 50 packs sold separately. This new Kodak instant camera will be available in gray or yellow (more colors to come) and it will hit retail stores and Amazon in late September of this year for $70.
