s in under 60 seconds. Using an inkless process that involves a special photo paper that has embedded, heat-activated dye crystals, the PoGo Instant Digital Camera produces dry-to-the-touch, durable and smudge and water resistant prints. Unlike the old traditional Polaroids, however, the PoGo camera has a 3-inch LCD monitor, SD card storage, in-camera red-eye removal, and automatic picture lighting enhancement. However, the lens is a non-zoom affair and Polaroid did not provide resolution information. The Polaroid PoGo Instant Digital Camera will be available in March for around $199. Ten-packs of Zink Photo Paper will cost $4.99, 30-packs will cost $12.99.

\nPolaroid Introduces the
\nPolaroid PoGo\u2122 Instant Digital Camera<\/b>
\n
\nDigital version of the company\u2019s iconic instant camera <\/i>
\n
<\/p>\n
LAS VEGAS (January 8, 2009) \u2013 Today Polaroid announces the launch of the Polaroid PoGo\u2122 Instant Digital Camera, the first digital camera and instant printer combination available in the U.S. and Europe that is portable enough to take anywhere. With the push of a button, consumers can select from among the digital photos on the camera, crop or edit them and in less than 60 seconds, print full-color, 2×3-inch prints \u2013 all with a single device.
\n
\n\u201cThis is the digital version of our traditional instant camera, which consumers have loved since the 70s,\u201d says Jon Pollock, vice president and general manager, Digital Imaging. \u201cWith this product, Polaroid will bring the magic of instant photography to a whole new generation. It\u2019s what consumers have told us they want \u2013 a fun, easy way to use a digital camera to print photos and share their memories instantly.\u201d
\n
\nThe Polaroid PoGo\u2122 Instant Digital Camera is the second product in the Polaroid PoGo\u2122 family of products. Like the Polaroid PoGo\u2122 Instant Mobile Printer, which hit store shelves in July 2008, the Polaroid PoGo\u2122 Instant Digital Camera uses the same ZINK Photo Paper\u2122 and ZINK\u2122 Zero Ink\u2122 Printing Technology from ZINK Imaging. ZINK\u2122 Zero Ink\u2122 is an ink-free printing technology which replaces ink cartridges or ribbons with ZINK Photo Paper\u2122 \u2013 a composite material that has embedded, heat-activated dye crystals. Before printing, ZINK Photo Paper\u2122 appears white like regular photo paper. Once the pictures are printed, they are immediately dry to the touch, durable and smudge and water resistant.
\n
\nThe Polaroid PoGo\u2122 Instant Digital Camera offers a full-feature digital camera with 100 percent inkless printing, 2×3-inch sticky-backed photos with or without fun borders and the advantage of reviewing the captured photos on a three-inch color LCD screen before printing. The instant digital camera measures 4.7-inches wide by 3-inches tall and weighs only 10 ounces.
\n
\n\u201cUnlike traditional instant film, photos from the Polaroid PoGo\u2122 Instant Digital Camera emerge fully developed,\u201d Pollock says. \u201cWhile many of our most passionate customers tell us \u2018shaking\u2019 a Polaroid photo is part of the fun, with any Polaroid photo, the \u2018shake\u2019 is totally optional.\u201d
\n
\nThe Polaroid PoGo \u2122 Instant Digital Camera will be available beginning in March 2009 at major retailers for a suggested retail price of $199. Ten-packs of ZINK Photo Paper\u2122, which can be used in both the Polaroid PoGo\u2122 Instant Digital Camera and the Polaroid PoGo\u2122 Instant Mobile Printer, retail for $4.99 and 30-packs for $12.99, and are widely available at national retailers everywhere.
