Polaroid - Now Instant Film Camera Generation 2 - Red
Customers are saying
Customers are impressed with the ease of use, overall performance, and battery life of this camera. While users appreciate the simple, classy design and fun features like double exposure and various filters, some feel the image quality does not quite live up to older models. Additionally, while the inclusion of USB-C charging is a welcome touch, some users find the device to be somewhat bulky and boxy in its physical design.

Welcome to the beautifully imperfect world of Polaroid photography with the Polaroid Now Generation 2 camera. The classic, iconic analog instant camera comes with autofocus, a self-timer, and double exposure. All in a classic design, and now made with 40% recycled materials. Compatible with Polaroid i-Type & 600 film in the original Polaroid instant film format.

The Polaroid Now Generation 3 Instant Camera is the classic analog instant camera, optimized for sharper pictures in more lighting conditions. Includes a Polaroid Color i-Type Film Pack for 8 instant photographs with white frames. Featuring a better light meter position, improved ranging sensor, upgraded two-lens autofocus system, built-in tripod mount, filter compatibility and even self-timer and double-exposure modes. All in a classic Polaroid look made with 40% recycled materials. Available in new colors, rechargeable with USB-C and compatible with Polaroid i-Type Film to capture real life in iconic, full-sized Polaroid pictures.

With modern innovation hidden inside an iconic point-and-shoot design, the Polaroid Flip is the ultimate instant camera for an analog life. Sonar autofocusing, a hyperfocal 4-lens system, our most powerful flash and scene analysis (warning you when your shots are over or underexposed) ensure you get high quality shots every time. All you have to focus on is living a life worth capturing – and click the big red shutter button. Includes a single pack of Polaroid Color i-Type Film for 8 instant photographs with white frames.

The super bubbly INSTAX MINI 12 instant camera is bursting with joy, creativity and color. Not only is this iconic instant camera available in five super cute and appealing tones – Pastel Blue, Mint Green, Blossom Pink, Lilac Purple and Clay White – it’s fully loaded with easy-to-use modes and controls. Designed to keep up with life, the INSTAX MINI 12 instant camera is ready to go with a simple twist of the lens. Twist again and you’re in Close-up mode, perfect for selfies. Combined with the perfectly positioned selfie mirror, automatic flash control and INSTAX MINI instant photos, the INSTAX MINI 12 instant camera is a selfie extraordinaire. But that’s not all the Close-up mode can do. When activated, the viewfinder neatly pairs up with the lens, so what you see is what you get – no object shifts in your final INSTAX photo! (FYI the fancy term for this is parallax correction.) Because when you’re this close, there’s no room for error. Plus, with automatic exposure, you can simply aim and click. No need to adjust any settings, just simply fun photos every time. And with that in mind, once you have snapped, your INSTAX MINI instant photo will eject in five seconds (development time approximately 90 seconds). All without compromising on image quality. That deserves high fives all around. When you’re finished capturing memories, twist the lens again to turn the INSTAX MINI 12 instant camera off. But the fun doesn’t end there. Download the free INSTAX UP! App for a new way to keep all your INSTAX photos digitally, in one place. All you have to do is use the App to scan your physical INSTAX photos with your Smartphone and they’ll be turned into sharable, digital photos that you can edit, tag and save. Ready to twist & go?
