Never mind the fact that you didn’t know how they were going to come out.

That was then. Now fast forward to today, where people are taking photos like mad thanks to digital photography. Most devices now come with built-in cameras, from laptops to tablets and smartphones, like Apple’s ever-popular iPhone. The current reigning photo-sharing app on the iPhone is (in my opinion) Instagram. Aside from letting you post your photos to Facebook and Twitter, you can also add some pretty cool effects and filters to transform how your shots look. Plus, it’s free, so really, nothing to complain about there.

But if you’re a bit old school and want to be able to take some of your best Instagram shots around with you, or hang up posters of the prints in your room, then you’re in luck because that’s what Prinstagram is looking to offer you.

Choose the shots you want to keep forever, then have them printed out on a poster, mini print, mini book, or tiny book.

Or if you’re the playful type, then print them out on stickers instead. Prinstagram prices range from $10 to $25, so they’re still pretty affordable, since you get concrete versions of your best memories in exchange for that amount.

That said, Sony’s entry into the fray seems a little anemic at first glance. From what I can tell from this translated page on Sony’s Japanese website, the camera will take 640×480 and 480×272 still pictures as well as 480×272 motion jpeg clips at 30 fps, but only up to 15 seconds of recording. With those specs, I’m not sure where the “effective” 1.3 megapixel resolution that’s also mentioned will come into play.

In addition, it looks like it will ship with an application which allows for slide shows and adding special effects to pictures and for creating animations. No mention is made of support for live video feeds (i.e. ‘webcam’) capability.

The camera should hit the streets in Japan on November 2 for 5,000 yen (appx $44 USD), but there’s no announced date or price for US or European launches.
