Posts: 795 | Polaroid Pogo/Zink Technology I picked up one of these printers on a whim the other day: Polaroid PoGo It's an incredibly fun little gadget - not much bigger than a pack of cigarettes, when plugged into the USB port of your camera, it spits out little 2x3 color prints in about 60 seconds. And the prints have a peel-off backing so you can use them like Post-It notes. Very reminiscent of the Polaroid of old... Anyway, I'm sure these things are targeted at the teen crowd with their phone cameras - but I'm curious if any of the older & wiser members here have discovered this thing and have any creative stories to tell? |

| Loyal Member | I worked with Polaroid a bit on this project before it launched. We were hoping that the iPhone would work with it but it turned out Apple wouldn't allow it. The PoGo is a novelty but if any of the camera concepts with built-in printers come to fruition it could be the re-birth of the Polaroid Land camera. Also, if the PoGo sells well there will likely be larger format versions more suitable to enthusiasts. |

Some of the best travel photogs in the world use these, it's a great way to give a print to someone you take a photo of. Great way to interact with locals. |

| Pentaxian | Hmm I don't think the K-7 is PictBridge capable/enabled  This sucks. I was really planning to have one of these Pogos for my travel work with the K-7. EDIT: Apparently it is PictBridge compliant! WOOHOO!!! Last edited by soccerjoe5; 06-15-2009 at 03:37 AM. |
