Meet the Kodak Step – it's a point-and-shoot camera with a printer!. It’s designed to provide all the fun of an instant camera like Polaroid or Instax, with much less expense and greater ease of use. Rather than film, it uses Kodak’s ZINK (zero-ink) paper to instantly print out images upon capture.
