Polaroid Camera

I recently read an article about a new tiny Polaroid camera. I would really like to try to get one as I think it would be really helpful taking images for my DS for his visual timetable, social stories etc. It takes me such a long time to get around to printing photos and I think having an instant camera would really help.

Does anyone know of these or anything similar and if so, please give me some info.

I haven't got a Polaroid camera but do have a Polaroid PoGo printer PoGo

I love mine though the photo paper is a bit on the expensive side (it doesn't use ink so no cartridge expense). It has an adhesive layer on the back off the printed photo so you can peel it off and stick it.

Meant to add that your digital camera has to have PictBridge - don't ask me what that is though! DP assures me most modern digital cameras have it (and even his old SLR has it).

Can second the Pogo. I have one for the very reasons you describe - instant prints for sociL stories etc, and I also use it on the girls' calendar each evening, a la Moondog calendar....

You can get reasonable deals on pogo paper on amazon sometimes. I can't believe how brilliant it is, and can Bluetooth pics from either my phone or dh's phone, or the camera etc.

I have a Canon Ixus 75 which we bought about 4 years ago. Do you thin k it will be compatible with that? Do you know how I find out about the PictBridge compatibility?
The Pogo sounds just like what I am looking for.

Have you still go the box &/or instructions as it should be stated in there. If not worth seeing if canon have a spec on it online.

Thanks so much for your help. I ordered one from Amazon and got two packs of 70 sheets of the paper as they were half price. I found out online that it is compatible. Very excited as I really think this is going to help DS. Already planning the visuals I am going to prepare...!
