Instagram Socialmatic Camera to Go from Concept to Physical Product
Do you remember the Instagram Socialmatic? It’s a concept camera that made the rounds on the Internet back in May — a camera that lets people snap photos, share them online, and print them out as squared-shared sticky-note-style instant photos. The camera will soon go from digital concept to physical reality: it’s being turned into an actual camera, which is a proposed release date of mid-2013.
It’s interesting to see a potential camera that’s geared towards both online and physical sharing. While there are cameras out there that do these things, usually they’re either geared towards online connectivity (e.g. Nikon with its new S800c) or making physical prints (e.g. Polaroid’s Z340), but not both.
That’s what will make the Instagram Socialmatic stand out if it actually becomes a reality come next year.
