Smart cameras might be the next trend in technology. Samsung presented the Galaxy Camera with high success, and now Polaroid is following its steps. The Samsung Galaxy camera opened the gates to smart cameras, and now everybody wants to join the market (Nikon has also a model named 1 J2 which compete directly with this Polaroid). The main advantage of the Polaroid iM1836 camera is the ability to swap optics, enhancing its imaging capabilities.

Polaroid has not provided much more information. There are still some questions unanswered, such as the storage capacity, the possible support of microSD cards, etc. Probably, most of these questions will be solved soon, as the camera is finally available.
