Polaroid Mirrorless Camera |
A leak from Russian social networking site VK claims that Polaroid
will be introducing a new camera soon. The camera would not be the
usual device we expect from them, but a shooter that comes with a
mirrorless interchangeable lens system and will run on Android.
Polaroid has long discontinued its traditional instant-film cameras
as it ran into different bankruptcy situations. The company signed an
agreement with Summit Global Group in 2009 and Sakar International last January
to produce digital still cameras slapped with the Polaroid brand. It
is possible that the upcoming camera would be the fruit of such
partnerships, but we cannot confirm the rumor just yet.
The leaked information claims that the Android 4.0-powered camera
will feature a 3.5-inch touchscreen, an 18.1-megapixel sensor, pop-up
flash, WiFi connectivity, and HDMI/ headphone out. It is designed with
rounded edges similar to the
Nikon 1 J2 mirrorless camera.
