I was at the show and heard one of the Reps demo-ing the product say that the MSRP would be $199, so you're $200 guess seems pretty informed. All-in-all, not my cup of tea but it seems like a reasonable price for being a camera/printer in a (large) pocket size.

And here I thought Polaroid was dead with the demise of their instant cameras and film, and now they present this 21st century version of their old Instant cameras. Not sure how useful this will be as you can get a better digital camera for $100-150 and a small portable printer like the Canon SELPHY for about $70 which can print 4x6 color prints in a much better quality.

I think this is a great idea. For my wedding I am going to purchase one so I can have someone take my guests pictures to put in the guestbook as they sign it. The adhesive backing on the paper is an awesome idea. It will be great. I was actually thinking about using my dad's old polaroid, this is a much better option. :)

I think this is a good idea, espcially that you can choose "frames", including one that looks like the classing Polaroid frame.
However, it is a bit pricey... But I am pretty excited for it anyway!
