Aim, shoot, print. Repeat.

IT'S funny how things come full circle after a while. Cameras, for example, have become so sophisticated that they can shoot a rock-solid image while you're bouncing up and down in a car.

It could be that they're "too good" - precisely that they lose some of that je ne sais quoi, - the tiny imperfections that give a photograph a patina of nostalgia. But that is what Canon's latest iNSPiC instant camera printers are trying to recapture.

Thin enough to be thrown into a day pack, they're slab-sided and utilitarian - made out of plastic but robust enough to withstand the rigours of millennial life.
