    Picked one of these up the other day for an xmas present - €54.20 on Pixmania for the printer and a pack of 70 photo papers.
    I know loads of people don't like Pixmania (never had any probs myself) but they're the same price on Amazon and everywhere else so you can shop around - I got a budget camera to go with. :D

    €54 seems a bit pricey!

    EDIT: That's a marketplace seller actually. Think Zavvi were selling them cheaply recently: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055616489&highlight=pogo

    There's no ink - they call it zink technology (think of that simpsons episode lol) you just need the paper.

    @basquille - I'm paranoid about buying from market place sellers lol and it was easier for me to get it from pixmania along with the remaining bits and pieces to finish my xmas shopping! ;)

    how does it work? Do you need a specific camera to go with it? or can you just put the SD card into it and print from it?

    €54 seems very pricey for this. The likes of blahdvd.co.uk/base.com/dvd.co.uk (are these all the same site) are selling it for £17.99. Misco.co.uk have it for £19.99 and as already mentioned zavvi for £27.95 (incl free pack of paper) and so on. Not sure how many of those will ship electronics to here but odds are some will. Or failing that you'll get it for a lot less than 54 on eBay.

    Yeah the print out's are small, about the size of a credit card, but the quality is good enough. You dont need a specific camera, you just need a device that has bluetooth to x-fer an image to the pogo or you can plug it into a pc and print from there.Dosen't take sd cards.

    *pixmania price is expensive.

    Btw the paper has an expiery date :cool:

    If the camera has PictBridge you can plug it into the printer with a usb cable. Re the price - €54 is for the printer and a box of 70 paper things not just the printer on it's own. I could have got it a few euro cheaper but I was getting other stuff on Pixmania so just got it there for the convience of one delivery coming etc.
