The highly desirable new Polaroid Pop Instant Camera comes loaded with high-tech paper in which color crystals are already embedded. When a photo is taken, the camera’s Zero Ink (ZINK) Printing technology uses heat to activate these dye crystals, producing a neat 3X4 rectangle of smudge-proof, full-color, high-quality image. One photo prints in less than a minute. The ZINK Paper is adhesive-backed, so the newly printed photo can be immediately put up for display on a wooden/metallic/plastic surface.
The camera has a 20 megapixel CMOS sensor, image stabilization, and dual LED flash. There’s built-in WiFi and Bluetooth; a big touchscreen; 1080p video capability; and microSD card storage. The Polaroid camera can even function as a printer for images stored on any other device, connecting with that wirelessly.

Is there any camera that can see the world exactly as human eyes do? The TwoEyes VR Camera might, sort of. It makes the claim of being the world’s first 360-degree three-dimensional camera, and it lenses are set apart by 65mm, which is about the same distance between the pupils of the average pair of human eyes. The camera has two pairs – that’s where the name comes from – of 180-degree lenses to capture 3D footage in both directions, providing a more natural view when you play back the footage. Built in WiFi lets you have a direct review on your mobile phone. There is a solid 128GB of internal storage, and a one-eye mode that is activated if you tip the camera on its side. Available in white or black.
Nikon D3400
This camera does a nice job for both still photography and videos, and you get Nikon’s large selection of DX-format lenses to choose from. The Nikon D3400 is the best entry-level DSLR you can buy right now. Featuring a beautifully compact body, a solid AF system, huge battery life and very good image quality, the D3400 is also incredibly easy to use for the first time user.

A refined version of the PL8, the Olympus Pen E-PL9 Camera continues the vintage-inspired looks of this series.

It also adds 4K video capture and low energy Bluetooth. The camera is finished with a larger grip and mode dial and is available in white, black, or brown.
