Taking Instant Photography Digital

More than 60 years ago, Polaroid created the gold standard of instant photography with the instant film camera, empowering friends and families to instantly capture memories with instant pictures. Millions of memories later, Polaroid is taking instant photography digital with the Polaroid PoGo™ family of products.

Backed by the power of ZINK™ Zero Ink™ Printing Technology from ZINK Imaging, Polaroid PoGo™ products combine the best of digital photography with the company’s instant roots and allow users to print their digital images instantly. In 2009, Polaroid introduces the Polaroid PoGo™ Instant Digital Camera, which follows the introduction of the Polaroid PoGo™ Instant Mobile Printer that hit store shelves in July 2008.

Polaroid PoGo™ Instant Digital Camera

The Polaroid PoGo™ Instant Digital Camera is the first digital camera and printer combination available in the U.S. and Europe that is portable enough to take anywhere. The digital version of Polaroid’s iconic instant camera, the Polaroid PoGo™ Instant Digital Camera allows consumers to capture, view, crop and even add borders, then print their memories in less than 60 seconds on 2x3-inch, peel-off, sticky-backed paper. The Polaroid PoGo™ Instant Digital Camera easily connects to a PC or Mac where photos can be uploaded and saved from the camera’s 16 MB internal memory or SD card (not included).

• The Polaroid PoGo™ Instant Digital Camera will be available at retailers beginning in July. It will retail for $199.

This full-featured digital camera has everything you need to take the ultimate photo. The 3.0" bright color LCD screen lets you preview the image before you print and the camera is SD compatible for additional internal memory for saving photos and downloading them later. With built-in editing tools, the Instant Digital Camera is full of features to perfect any photo.

Polaroid PoGo Review

For all the fans of the original Polaroid instant camera, you remember, the one where you insert a cartridge, take pictures and watch them develop before your eyes, take heart, Polaroid has done it again. Now you can capture those memories all over again, only with a smaller, sleeker, little brother. Introducing, Ta-Da! The Polaroid PoGo. The Polaroid PoGo is a compact digital camera with a built-in printer! It's 4.7 inches by 3 inches by 2 inches and is only 10 ounces. It can hold up to 10 2X3 inch sheets of photo paper. You can take pictures and store them on a standard memory card(not included) or download to your computer using a usb chord. The paper costs $4.99 for a 10-pack and $12.99 for a 30 pack.

This camera is high tech. It uses a heat-activation process to colorize special crystals that are in the paper. The results are sharp, clear inkless prints. Pictures develope in about 60 seconds.

This Camera Is Going To Be A Huge Hit!

Just think of all the advantages a camera like this can have. It's compact at the size of a deck of playing cards. It's simple to use. Just open the paper tray and insert the paper, take your pictures and print them right away. You don't have to take just the last picture either. You can scroll through the pictures in the memory and select which one you want. You can also choose a border for your print. This would make a wonderful Christmas gift and would fit rather nicely in a Christmas stocking :) It will be a huge hit a parties and social events. What about sporting events. The possibilities are endless.



Pros:

1)Relatively inexpensive for a 5-megapixal digital camera with built-in paper feed. Retail $199.00
2) Can print any image stored in the camera, not just the last picture. After selecting the print button, you can select how many prints you want and also choose borders.
3)Totally digital prints. No ink to sludge the prints. Prints are also water resistant.
4)Has a video recorder.
5)3 inch LCD

Cons:

1)Poor Battery Life. Can print only around 15 pictures before the battery dies. Without printing you can take 75 images.

2) Also found that the unit ran fairly warm; after the Polaroid PoGo printed eight photos, the camera was warm.

3)No optical zoom.

4) No paper counter



Conclusion:

The Polaroid Pogo is an innovative, fun gadget suitable for both children and adults. Even with its flaws, PoGo shows that Polaroid instant photography can still make you smile. All in all, I'm pretty impressed with the Polaroid PoGo and would be happy to recommend it.
