Polaroid Now 2nd Generation I-Type Instant Camera + Film Bundle - Now Black Camera + 16 Color Photos (6248)- Black

Only complaint is the flash only works if the subject is up close. It doesn't work that well in dark so the envirment needs to be well lit. The photo quality has that lofi nostalgic look. I bring it to birthday party's and things like that and give the photos as gifts which people appreciate.

My son wanted a camera that prints things out so this was recommended. I gave it to him for Christmas and he took a picture and then proceeded to tell me how they develop over time and how they have a retro look. Bruh, don't explain my youth to me....I was in the thick of it when these ORIGINALLY came out lol. He was telling me how old tech worked. Silly goose.The one thing I will say is that I'm honestly disappointed in the quality of the images but maybe that's the point? I would have thought the tech would have adjusted the quality a little but nope, still looks like photos taken in the 1970's.

Great picture qualityPhotos print quicklyGood compact designEasy to use just point and shootMy only negative is the film is pricey

It’s not real Polaroid. Nothing like the original. The picture quality is terrible and it’s not as easy to use as the original. They’re dark and dreary like a 90’s grunge album cover, no matter the lighting. They’re a little fuzzy under the best circumstances but if you breathe, you end up with an unrecognizable blob. There’s this black plastic cover that pops out over every new photo. You have to carefully remove the picture from under the cover, while the cover’s trying to shoot back inside the camera. There was no weird plastic cover on the old film. And the worst part is that it takes forever for the pictures to develop. You can’t watch it develop. Instructions say to sit the picture face down and wait. That was the best part of Polaroid, watching the picture develop in front of your eyes. If you were hoping for that, forget about it. Watching them develop now is like watching paint dry. We have Polaroid pictures from the 70’s and 90’s that are still perfect to this day. Well lit, sharp, clear and we got to watch them develop right in front of our eyes. The pictures from this camera were complete garbage. They’re definitely not going into any family album. They literally went into the trash.They shouldn’t even be allowed to call this Polaroid. This is junk. We all loved the real Polaroid and can’t believe how awful this is. We bought it because of the name. We didn’t know that somebody had bought it out and changed the film because they were unable to reproduce Polaroid’s version. My entire family sat around my daughter as she opened this on Christmas morning. It was actually comical when we were collectively like wth when we tried taking pictures with it.Save your time and spend the extra few bucks to get the Fuji film. It’s not as good as the og polaroid either but it’s light years ahead of this hunk of junk.

I’ve gotten a lot of great use out of this camera. Unfortunately the film is expensive, but it helps document some great times.

The polaroid camera takes roughly about 15 minutes to develop the film once you take a photo and once it's developed, the photo is dim and can be fuzzy. You need a lot of light for it to be less dim. You may need a ring light to help with that. It is fun and easy to use, but the quality is only ok. I say purchase this camera for the aesthetic, not the quality. If you only care about polaroid photo and not the camera, then I recommend purchasing a polaroid printer.

Gave as a gift, they like the camera and the ease of use.

I love this camera so much. I suck at taking photos but I’ve always wanted to have a Polaroid camera!!! Can’t wait to use it more :)Tips I learned from YT:-get up closer when taking portraits-do not take photo behind the sun, take it in the front-storing photos in fridges will preserve it better
