The camera's ugly. I don't care about what their future roadmap is, this camera announced NOW is ugly, prohibitively expensive, and doesn't bring anything new to the table. I know the same thing can be said about leica, but at least leica makes its own camera that happens to be the only rangefinder and is based on a very well respected lineage of cameras.

rondom: dpreview, please stop including pictures with your Hasselblad Lunar news-or at least accompany it with some sort of explicit content warning...thanks

This is the perfect camera for my 5 yro daughter. She's been wanting a camera for so long but current cameras are either too awkward to use for her small fingers or too expensive. Not to mention the non-instant nature of digital cameras where you have to connect the card to a PC, setup the printer, fire up the software, and go through the multi-page menus to choose the print command, all of which would be quite daunting for a 5 year old without any adult help. With this Polaroid (assuming it is small enough and easy to use) you only need to snap the picture and print it straight away. My daughter will love it!
