Canon announces the Canon IVY CLIQ+ (Zoemini S) and Canon IVY CLIQ (Zoemini C) instant camera printers
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I can't find that information anywhere, maybe the Canon USA press release will touch on it in an hour or two.

Seems rather asinine on Canon UK’s part. It’s a camera. Specification? 5 or 8 megapixels. But let’s list the 14 different combinations of indicator lights and what they all mean. WTF?

Yeah, lets encourage people to take photos of themselves from up close with wide lenses, and see if they complain.

I've added the Canon USA press release for the IVY CLIQ+ and IVY CLIQ. The names for North America I guess.

I thought print was dead.
It is just my opinion, but it doesn't seem like a very good idea.
Whoever thought this up at Canon is a true marketing genius.
Promoting tech advancement over the Polaroid One Step.
A proof of his genius in that he was able to convince Canon to move this direction.
For the camera, not so much.

It's a gimmick, but that's not a bad thing. If youth is their target audience getting them used to the idea that they can use a camera that isn't a phone might make them more likely to pick up a better camera when they get older. Who knows, maybe even the idea that prints are fun may even come back into style.

Maybe this is like Canon's mirror-less release. They wait years or decades to release their version of a body.
Then they capture the majority of the market share.

In my opinion, print is not dead and never has been. In the old days, when a walk to school was in knee deep snow and uphill both ways, we printed because we had to. Now we print only what we want to print. No more waiting for the processor to get back with us to see how things turned out. I still get stuff printed. The difference is I don't have boxes full of printed photos I never would have printed to begin with. The young are going to love this. I think the success of Fuji with a similar line proves that. Good for Canon! Good for Fuji too!

No but there is a flip book video function but you will have to buy additional film.
It wasn't very thought out very well, if your kids ever peel the back of one of your frames the video will glitch and freeze.
