Polaroid PoGo Expert Reviews

One of the benefits of being a reviewer is that occasionally you get play with something that's just plain fun. The Polaroid PoGo Instant Digital Camera ($200 street, complete with a standard 1-year warranty) is that kind of toy...uh...product. It ...

Easy setup. JPG image quality equivalent to the best camera phones. Print quality suitable for wallet-size photos. It's fun

Prints photos at only 2 by 3 inches. Relatively low image quality by today's standards for both JPG file and printed output

Despite some limitations, the Polaroid PoGo Instant Digital Camera delivers more than good enough image quality for its intended purpose, and it's fun to use too.

The Polaroid PoGo Instant Digital Camera represents a logical evolution for Polaroid. The company may have stopped producing film for its famed instant cameras (the first came out over 60 years ago), but the name lives on, synonymous with photo prints ...

Built-in printer works on images stored on SD Card

Image quality, print and digital, is poor

Ultimately, if you covet the instant and fun prints that Zink technology enables, I'd recommend the Polaroid PoGo printer--which is now $100, a full $50 less than it was when it debuted last year--over the $199 Polaroid Instant Digital Camera

Fun and truly mobile printer that you can actually take with you

Power brick is huge ; battery life must be improved

Fun yet flawed, the PoGo tries to recapture the fun of a Polaroid

The camera world may have gone digital, but the name Polaroid remains synonymous with instant photo prints. So it's not surprising that Polaroid has introduced the $150 PoGo portable printer.

Small, battery-operated printer Prints are adequate

Power adapter is nearly the size of the printer

In the end, the PoGo's appeal lies in its mobility and its near-instantaneous picture production. The $150 price is steep for what amounts to a one-trick gimmick printer. But that doesn't detract from the silly fun people can have by printing pictures ...

Remember that song, "Hey Ya!" by OutKast? Good song, but overplayed to the point where everyone from your Grandma to your 4-year-old niece was shaking it "like a Polaroid picture."

It'll take you longer to actually line up, compose, and shoot a decent photo than it will to transfer that same photo to the Pogo. Thermal ZINK photo paper is a hoot to use. Adhesive back is ingenious.

Colors are washed out. Wouldn't it be awesome, I mean really awesome, if you had to shake the heat-sensitive paper once or twice to make it develop?

The Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer is strong on gadget appeal, but it's limited to a 2- by 3-inch photo size and less than ideal photo quality.

Polaroid has integrated a portable printer into the chassis of its PoGo Instant Digital Camera, in a move that's innovative in concept at least.
