Polaroid Debuts Ultra-Portable Optical Zoom Wi-Fi Camera at CES
With its Compact Size, 8X Optical Zoom, 18MP Resolution and Wi-Fi(TM) or NFC Pairing, the Polaroid iZone Camera is the Perfect Extension for your iOS or Android Device
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Polaroid today unveiled the PolaroidiZone, a compact optical zoom, Wi-Fi connected camera designed to be the ultimate companion to your iOS or Android device with great image quality and built-in flash for easy, on-the-go, instant photography. The PolaroidiZone camera will be on display in the Polaroid Booth #13614 at the 2015 International CES.
Produced by Sakar International, an authorized Polaroid licensee, the PolaroidiZone camera is the perfect way to capture better quality images with a smartphone. Just pair with any iOS or Android device using the built-in Wi-Fi, then use the smartphone as a viewfinder to line up the perfect shot in real time. Once paired, users can save the images taken with the Polaroid iZone camera directly to the smartphone, bypassing the 32 MB internal memory of the camera. With its impressive 8X optical zoom, 18 megapixel resolution, built-in tripod mount and tiny form factor, the Polaroid iZone camera is the perfect way to capture amazing new angles with better image quality and more zoom capability than most smartphone cameras on the market. Additionally, once users have captured the perfect image, since it is on the smartphone already, it is easy to share it online with any social media network.
"Smartphones will work for taking some photos, but the built-in digital zoom just isn't great when it comes to image quality. To get better quality optical zoom on a smartphone requires adding an accessory lens, and it's easy to miss the shot while you're busy attaching the lens," said Edward Cohen, VP of Imaging with Sakar/Vivitar. "But, with the PolaroidiZone camera, you've got instant access to an impressive 8X optical zoom--the same as found in much larger, higher-end cameras. Simply point, zoom and snap."
The PolaroidiZone camera's compact size, at just 2" by 2" square, is ideal for dropping it into a pocket for quick and easy access to capture every unexpected moment and memory. A lanyard slot makes it easy to attach the PolaroidiZone camera to the included wrist lanyard for even quicker access. Don't have a phone handy--the PolaroidiZone camera also works without pairing with a phone--simply snap away and sync later to view and share images. The camera comes with a micro-USB cord for charging, as well as syncing and viewing photos on any USB-equipped device, including computers and TVs.
The PolaroidiZone camera is expected in-store this spring for $179.99, just in time for capturing spring break and summer vacation memories.
