Hi!! Great review! I have a question… can you take pictures with the camera connected to the electricity?? I would like to use this camera to take photos of guests in a wedding… but if I can’t use it connected I won’t have enough battery for all the pics. Thanks!!

@piuskristofferson Yes, you can. Print it now, print it later or never print it.

I have one, but the LCD is a bit “floppy” when it’s up; if I move my camera gently back and forth it flops around…is anyone else’s like that?

Thank you very much for responding.

@klnash68 The Z340 can use 32GB SDHC cards, but each video clip can only be 4GB maximum. You would have to re-start your video after each 4GB. If you set your camera to record video at 1280 x 720 you can get 21 minutes on 4GB. At 640 x 480 you can get 1 hour 6 minutes on 4 GB and at 320 x 240 you can get 2 hours and 2 minutes on 4 GB. These minute numbers are what shows up on the menu with an empty 4GB card installed. The 1280 x 720 seems right at 21 minutes. I haven’t used the others.

@photodyl Correct. There is no ink cartridge to replace. The zink (zero ink) paper it uses already has the dye crystals embedded in it.

Do you know how long you can record video on this camera? I know card size makes a difference but using the larges MB card what is the maximum time you can record?
Thank you for posting very helpful. I grew up using Polaroids.

hello so you never have to replace the ink cartridge, or any cartridge, in this thing?

@zizzabelle99 I don’t really know. My shots are less than a month old so not a good test but no fading yet. I don’t have any previous experience with zink (zero ink) paper. Zink says the photos are long-lasting and resist fading from heat, light & humidity. I guess I’ll find out.

I’d like to know one more thing… With time do the pics face? If so how long? The old plaroid pics fade when exposed to light. Is it like that whit this camera?
January 23rd, 2012 - 07:02
@zizzabelle99 Correct, you can set the menu to not print automatically.Then later, print the pictures you want or none at all.
January 23rd, 2012 - 07:25
so wait… you get to choose which pics to print right? i mean, as soon as you take the pic, it doesen’t immidiatley print it unless you “tell” it to… right?
P.S.: nice cat

@randomgirl9099 You can order online through Polaroid (mine), Adorama, B&H Photo, Amazon, if they ship to Toronto. I don’t know who is selling them anywhere else in stores.
January 23rd, 2012 - 08:18
Where did you get it? Is there anyplace I can get one in toronto ON Canada
January 23rd, 2012 - 08:43
I didn’t order this camera to be the “Smile for the camera, in front of the biggest ball of mud in Minnesota” type camera. I bought this to be the digital companion to my analog Polaroid cameras. I think it will perform well.
January 23rd, 2012 - 09:25
Can you give it to me?

@lippa3justme I’m impressed. It seems to be a well made camera. It doesn’t feel plastic. It has a very tight fit & solid feel. It would have been nice to have a carrying bag included. There’s no neck strap with it, but there’s lugs for one. If I was going to shoot and needed prints then and there, the Z360 seems good. But if I don’t need prints right away, a smaller P + S digital camera seems more practical. I’ve never used any Pogo product & I don’t have borders to upload, but it looks easy

what is your opinion on this camera? have you tried the polaroid pogo 2? also have you tried uploading new boarders onto the camera? i seen that was one of the features on polaroids website
