So I'm a little behind on the game but did you hear the announcement last month about the new line of products by Lady Gaga & Polaroid? (You can watch the video here )
Just wondering what you thought about it. I like the name, Grey Label. So basically the line consists of an Instant Mobile Printer (GL10), the Instant Digital Camera (GL30), and Camera Glasses (GL20) At first I thought camera glasses are so random and so lady gaga, but they are kind of growing on me just because there's nothing out there like them. What do you think? As far as pricing, the GL10 Printer will be available in May 2011 and cost $149.99 and the prices for the Instant Digital Camera & Glasses are not announced yet.
I couldn't find any images of the prints you get from the instant digital camera but apparently you can choose your own frame so you could get the classic polaroid frame. The paper technology being used is ZINK (Zero Ink Technology) -- I have a pogo printer that my mom got me for Christmas a couple years ago: it's pretty cool but it's just like a print from costco or something, just smaller.
I guess for me, as cool as this new technology is - it just won't ever be the same as a good old fashion polaroid print.
Camera glasses? Wow, I never heard of those. How crazy!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the ideas but I'm not sure if I will get any of the new stuff. I have the Fuji Instax and it suites me just fine.

hmm...i have to say that i am NOT AT ALL a gagafan... but i like polaroids. don't know, if its in the old way it would be nice...
ReplyDeletewhat? camera glasses?! that is craziness! i'm wondering what the cost of these products are going to be.. so random that lady gaga is involved!
ReplyDeletewhoa looks like polaroid got all sleek on us.. also, i'm pretty sure I invented camera glasses in like the 3rd grade, missed my chance!
ReplyDeletehmm. not quite sure about these. and agreed! i like my sx-70 polaroid cam just fine:)
ReplyDeleteThis could be fun- I don't adapt well to change though!
ReplyDeleteoh wow!! this is soo neat! i haven't seen anything like it!!
ReplyDeleteI kind of feel like having people walk around with camera glasses is creepy. Maybe I'm just old fashioned though.
ReplyDeletewow - this is kinda cool!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't expect anything less from Gaga, polaroid glasses? Kind of amazing. Although the whole reason I love polaroids are for their vintage and old school feel and look. I don't know how I feel about these new high techy ones... a new era is dawning!

I understand Polaroid is trying to be up to date, but I don't know if they realize people don't want gadgets- we want film.
eh. I don't want to pay 150$ for new stuff... I just want affordable film for the polaroid cameras I already own :(
ReplyDeletehonestly, the thought of camera glasses scares me... :S but the camera sounds cool..
ReplyDeleteThe camera looks rather cool, but you're right, that's not the REAL Polaroid!
