Polaroid going after GoPro

Do you think Polaroid has the power to take on GoPro?  I'm not sure about the design, it doesn't look at hard core as the GoPro.

Good luck, that's going to be a tough one.  I'm not sure about this one.

I saw this, for me it looks like a toy.  I would stick with the GoPro.  WHICH by the way I heard has a low cost version coming out.

Interesting comparison. Looked like the Polaroid has bluer blues. Not sure I like the wider angle however and it does look like a toy. Also says it is "water resistant" but you never know what that truly means until you get it wet.

Doesn't look as durable as the GoPro

+1 I was thinking the same thing.  Looks more like a toy compared to the Gopro

Hmmm... I must say, Inn on the fence abort this one. It looks like something a kid would use.

I didn't know Polaroid was still around!  Should we expect a Kodak version next? :rofl:
