Polaroid has named the winner of a competition it launched to help shape its new digital camera, due out in 2009 with a 4x3in format built-in printer.<\/p>\n

The competition was part of a global survey<\/a> of consumers intended to help Polaroid determine which features should be included on the new camera. <\/p>\n

Polaroid teamed up with Amateur Photographer<\/em> to launch the project, which came 61 years after Edwin Land (pictured) unveiled his ‘one-step process’ for producing finished photos in 60 seconds.<\/p>\n

The winner is Seamus Magennis from Newry, County Down, Northern Ireland who has bagged a trip to New York for best answering the question: ?why is instant printing important??, as judged by Polaroid. <\/p>\n

Seamus answered: ?Because we want instant results and when we wait the moment passes, we lose interest and, especially with digital, we lose the images.?<\/p>\n

Polaroid has also chosen 150 runners up, from all over the world, to receive a Polaroid PoGo printer or Polaroid Digital Frame.<\/p>\n

Polaroid?s 4x3in format camera will be the first digital camera<\/a> to produce such prints ? larger than the 2x3in prints delivered by the PoGo printer<\/a> that debuted earlier this year. <\/p>\n

The 4x3in print size could be significant because it is the same format Polaroid used on its famous consumer instant film cameras before it discontinued traditional film<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The firm hopes the new camera will appeal to consumers lamenting the death<\/a> of Polaroid’s instant film models. <\/p>\n

It will use the firm’s ZINK digital printing technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
