A while back I wrote a post about the Zink Inkless camera. Well I guess that merged into the Polaroid Pogo with Zink Technology. Polaroid’s digital camera prints off 2×3 inch pictures in about a minute. Cost is $99. Personally, I think these would be a ton of fun if you didn’t cheap on the paper. The good thing is that it is digital, so you only print the pictures you like, and you can crop and alter images as well.

I’m a bit of a nut for retro gadgets, and nothing will beat the original polaroid camera, but this isn’t a bad remake. And it’s a lot easier to travel with.

Zink is a launching a new print on the spot inkless camera. Their handheld camera prints borderless 2×3″ photos. The products have not yet reached the shelves tho. All you buy is the paper which they claim is affordable and shoot and snap. It’s a retake on the polaroid, except this is a high megapixel digital camera and you only print the photos you want.

Travel Takes: For travel, this is more fun than practical. I imagine it would be great to print off pictures immediately, but then you’d have to carry the paper around with you everywhere you went. And you’d be force by good instincts to share a photo with whoever you are showing off to. But still maybe for a local day trip it would come in handy.
