Polaroid is looking to stay in business by adapting to the changing times.  Instead of that clunky Polaroid camera – you can now keep your iPhone or small digital camera and develop prints on the go.  Easy enough with the Pogo.  In fact, no wires needed – send photos on via Bluetooth (or USB if needed).   Borderless images come out dry to the touch.  Hit for the Holidays, especially with the older relatives. $100 BUY

Leica revolutionized the camera industry since the late 1920′s – as the first to make a 35 mm camera. They still have it. The M8 is the kind of camera you pass down generations. With a 10.3 Megapixel CCD image sensor, all metal body made of magnesium alloy, solid brass base, and a 2.5″ display – they are doing it again. Quiet, speed, precision. $5,495.
