Sakar shows QX-style, Vivitar-branded modular smart camera

One of the stands we didn’t get a chance to visit at CES 2014 was that of Sakar International. Its Vivicam IU680 (as seen by digitalcamera.jp) at first looks like a competitor to Sony’s QX models and JK Imaging’s Kodak Smart Lenses. However, a closer look reveals that the lens module is interchangeable. We say lens module, rather than lens because it appears to be the same 10-30mm lens/sensor combination shown by Sakar at last year’s CES under the Polaroid brand.

The lawsuit seeks an injunction against both manufacture and sale of the Polaroid iM1836 digital camera.

Sakar International has formally announced the distinctly Nikon-esque iM1836 – a modular camera system wearing Polaroid branding. Details are scarce – with the company able to give little information (and some of that being improbable), but the first model is said to be an Android-based, Wi-Fi-connected camera with Ricoh GXR-style interchangeable modules with the sensor built into the lens. Further bodies and adapter modules are promised to allow use of Pentax K, Nikon F and Micro Four Thirds lenses.
