It’s been described as the 21st Century’s Polaroid, but Tomy Xaio is actually a more complete camera than the classic instant camera.
To begin with, it uses a much more sophisticated system to make prints: it has a tiny built-in printer that doesn’t use ink but instead uses a special paper made up of crystals that are inlaid with cyan, yellow and magenta pigments that are activated when you print a picture.
The quality of the pictures is infinitely superior to classic Polaroids and the format is also different: the photos measure 5 x 7 cm / 2 x 3 inches, more or less the size of a business card. That way you’ll always be able to carry pictures in your wallet, a habit we’re slowly beginning to lose.
Use it to show friends your new furniture, leave your sweetheart a written-photographed-printed note or simply to carry pictures of your friends around.
It’s compact in size, it looks more like a cell phone than a camera, and its Japanese design makes it almost a collector’s item. The camera is available in three colors: black, pink, and sky blue. It’s hard to pick one. Tomy Xaio uses digital photography technology to take pictures with a high-resolution. It has 5 megapixels, a 2.5 inch screen and a 16MB built-in memory.
The paper is sold in packages of 20 sheets and it’s not cheap. The camera itself isn’t within everyone’s reach either. But, nobody’s perfect, right?
