The Japanase toy company Tomy has unveiled the world’s first digital camera to feature a built-in printer. The 5 megapixel Xiao camera can produce a 2x3 inch print with an adhesive back in 45 seconds. Developed in collaboration with ZINK Imaging, the Xiao looks very much like a run-of-the-mill compact camera that has been literally stuck on top of a small printer, resulting in a product that could just about be described as hand-held. According to The Telegraph, the Tomy Xiao camera will be available in black, magenta and green and will be available in Japan on Friday for 34,800 yen (around £240).
