Remember the retro Polaroid? Here's the noughties version, which lets you print your digital photos instantly. It uses new zero ink (Zink) heat-activated printing, so there are no messy ink cartridges, and prints are ready in just 60 seconds. You can crop and edit your photos on the LCD screen before you print, too.

The sheets of paper for this camera (£7.95 for 30, Firebox) are also stickers, so it's great for putting prints straight into an album. It has a five megapixel resolution, 4x digital zoom and a 3in LCD screen.

Polaroid Two digital instant camera, £229.95 from Firebox.
