Polaroid Pogo Instant Digital Camera

Remember the old, mahoosive instant Polaroid cameras from back in the day? oh yeh, aye aye. Well, Polaroid is launching an up to date, slick digital version – the PoGo Instant Digital camera/printer combo.  

You can view, crop and even add borders then print your pictures in less than 60 seconds on 2×3-inch, peel-off, sticky-backed paper. The camera easily connects to a PC or Mac where photos can be uploaded and saved from the camera’s 16 MB internal memory or optional SD card. It measures 4.7-inches wide by 3-inches tall and weighs only 10 ounces. Pretty nifty.

It’s going to be available the beginning of March for around £130 and don’t forget you will also need packs of ZINK Photo Paper too (around £8 for 30 sheets). Good fun tho’.
