Digital photographers no longer have to hook their camera up to a computer or
printer to see the pictures they’ve taken. Eastman Kodak has invented a digital
camera that makes its own prints (EP 827 328). A conventional light sensor chip
creates a digital image and stores it in memory. An LCD screen inside the camera
focuses the image onto a flat cassette of photographic paper, which is pulled
between a pair of rollers to crush microbeads of developer. The print develops
just like a Polaroid instant picture.
