Keep Phoenix New Times Free
We’re aiming to raise $10,000 by April 26. Your support ensures New Times can continue watching out for you and our community. No paywall. Always accessible. Daily online and weekly in print.
The day has arrived when even a social media flowchart cannot tell you where the F#*K to post that.
Introducing the Instagram Socialmatic Camera, a camera that looks like the Instagram app icon, stores images as digital files with a 16GB memory stick, and has an internal printer that can shoot out square-shaped, high-flare, overly saturated images of your latte, pug, or latest self-portrait taken in the front seat of your car (seat belt still buckled, natch).
The camera, developed by ADR Studio, is currently a concept. Through crowdsourcing website Indiegogo, ADR hopes to raise $50,000 (just 20,000 times less than what Facebook bought Instagram for in April).
The group writes they hope to sell the camera, equipped with wi-fi, bluetooth, two different lenses, an LED flash, a touchscreen, and an optical zoom for less than $350.
Or, you could just buy this case by Andrei Robu, put it on your iPhone, print your pictures with Prinstagr.am, and save yourself $325 … and a social media meltdown.
