Get Instant Digital Pictures with Polaroid PoGo Camera



Polaroid rolled out PoGo Instant Digital Camera at CES 2009 making it the first portable digital camera and instant printer combination available in the U.S. and Europe. It’s the same Polaroid experience that we all know and love, but it’s digital.

The camera is the second product in the Polaroid PoGo line of products. Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer is first and the camera uses the same ZINK Paper and ZINK Zero Ink Printing Technology that the printer uses. Just as you would normally do with pictures from your digital camera, you can crop, edit, and zoom in on your pictures on a 3-inch color LCD screen before printing them.

The ZINK Zero Ink Printing Technology replaces ink cartridges and ribbons with the ZINK paper, which actually has the ink embedded into it. It takes 60 seconds for the camera to print a 2 x 3-inch photo. The printed pictures are immediately dry to touch and are durable and smudge and water-resistant.

The camera weighs 10 ounces, measures 4.7-inches wide, and is 3-inches tall. Users also have the option of printing with or without borders. The camera also contains a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

The Polaroid PoGo Instant Digital Camera will be available in March and is set to cost $199. Ten-packs of ZINK Photo Paper are priced at $4.99 and 30-packs for $12.99.
