Topic: Pogo Camera
When you think of instant photos, most of us over the age of 30 think of Polaroid’s…but for the younger demo – there is no such thing (or so they think). Well now the originators of the instant-photo, Polaroid is bringing the instant-photo back to life with their sweet, new camera called ‘Pogo’. Pogo is a modern version of a Polaroid camera but sleeker, better quality and digital-friendly. With the Pogo you can upload your instant photos to the web, review instant-shots on the fly before they come out of the camera and capture a video as well – all for $199.
We know instant-gratification is what drives this generation – hence why digital cameras took off. Now Polaroid is taking it to the next level with printing on the fly, instant photos! The other wonderful feature is, unlike the old skool Polaroid’s where you had to wait for your print to develop in order to see it, the new Pogo prints the pictures in their true-developed form.
The only thing we need to wait for now is for the Pogo to hit store shelves next month!

What our community is saying about Pogo:
“My dad has a Polaroid camera and he still uses it…and he’s not cool. He came to me this morning with this article on this new Polaroid camera called Pogo. It’s a new, modern Polaroid. Instant printing of pictures, from the camera. It look sweet and it looks like it will be mine because he wants me to fall in his Polaroid-loving footsteps! I can’t promise that will happen.” – Mark, 15
“I want one of those new Polaroid cameras. I go to FIT and we’re constantly using Polaroid’s for our designs…but the quality is so bad. With this new cam it looks so sharp and for the love of God, it’s instant! Love, Love, Love!” – Leslie, 19
“I always wondered why there wasn’t a cam that printed pictures as they were taken…and as I was reading one of my geeky-tech blogs today, they presented one from Polaroid called Pogo. It looks so insanely cool…and it’s cheap $199. I can’t wait til it comes out.” – Stacey, 17
