A Digital Camera for Those Who Like Instant Gratification
New York Times
By RIK FAIRLIE
Published: January 14, 2009
The Polaroid film cameras may be dead, but you can still have instant photos with the company’s new PoGo Instant Digital Camera, a compact snapshooter with a built-in printer that lets you capture and immediately print 2-by-3-inch images.
The $200 PoGo camera is a follow-up to Polaroid’s PoGo Instant Mobile Printer, which appeared on store shelves in July. Like the printer, the combination device uses Zink printing technology, an inkless system that uses heat-activated dye crystals to produce an image in about 60 seconds. The photos have an adhesive backing, which enables them to double as stickers.
The PoGo camera has a 3-inch LCD for reviewing images before you print. That is essential because the paper will set you back $12.99 for a pack of 30, or about 43 cents for each photo.
The device looks a bit clunky but weighs only 10 ounces, which is pretty slight when you consider there is a printer inside. Don’t expect great images or outstanding prints from a device in this price category, though you will get the instant gratification that Polaroid made famous many decades ago. Look for it in stores in March

Digital Tip: Disabling Your Camera’s Start-Up Screen

Have you missed too many spur-of-the-moment shots with the digital camera because you had to wait for the company’s splash screen to go away when you turned the camera on? Many cameras will let you disable the logo screen and jump right into the live viewfinder, which saves start-up time. Just go to the camera’s menu or settings area and look for a “start-up screen” or similar option, then choose not to use it; check your camera’s manual for specific instructions. Within the camera’s menus, you should also be able to adjust the length of the review time each photo stays on the LCD screen after you snap it. By decreasing the time the last image stays on screen, you can get back to shooting photos more quickly. J. D. BIERSDORFER
