Reviews

“Still, if you take a step back and realize what the PoGo camera is — a digital camera and a printer in one small portable device — you’ll marvel at all the technology stuffed into such a small package. The so-so print quality restricts it to being just a fun party trick, but the $199 list price doesn’t presume otherwise. For novelty’s sake, why not?” (Dvice, 2009)
