I was sent the Polaroid Now+ Generation 3 instant camera in a coral color. They had sent the camera and two cartridges of photos with no expectation of any content being produced. In this article, I'll be sharing my experience with it over a few days of use.  I also have a live stream where I unbox and try out the camera for the first time.   For those unfamiliar with instant cameras, the process is simple: you buy the film, and the film itself becomes the photo. It develops right after you take the picture, ejects from the camera, and in about 10 to 15 minutes, you have a physical photograph to enjoy. The Now+ Generation 3 is compatible with both Polaroid 600 and i-Type film. Throughout this review, I'll show you some of the shots I took both outdoors and indoors. One of my long time viewers had mentioned in the initial live stream that the 600 film has an integrated battery and it's meant for the older Polaroid cameras, so for this camera it makes more sense to use the c...

I recently picked up a Polaroid Go 2 instant camera kit and wanted to share my thoughts and experiences with it. In this article I cover the camera in detail. First, a quick note about this specific kit. I found this one locally at a heavy discount (you can see the sticker in the video if you are curious how much I paid), which probably means this particular bundle with the photo album and wrist strap might be discontinued or harder to find online.  I did see other kits that come with the camera and film, but maybe not these exact accessories as a bundle. If you really like the little photo album featured in the video, I did see that available as a separate purchase in black instead of red. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this look at the camera itself! It was a fun video to make.  The Polaroid Go Generation 2 Instant Camera Kit box. What's In This Kit? This kit included: The Polaroid Go 2 camera itself. Two wrist straps (one for the camera, one for the album maybe? I'm not totally su...

Polaroid has never been on my radar as a photography enthusiast. While I had a film camera back in the day, I never really used it much. The only thing I can remember about the camera was that it was blue and had a fixed lens (birthday present). However, I do recognize the popularity of Polaroid’s old instant cameras. They were and still are popular with many people because they provided a unique and instantly gratifying experience. Enter stage left, the Polaroid Z340 Instant Digital Camera. I’ll say it’s about time Polaroid takes the obvious step of making an instant camera for the current era. Looking at a retail price of $300 it is within reach of many people. It’s a good thing they tried to keep the price down by presumably making most of their profit on consumables. So if the camera eventually gets around $200 I think it will have a good chance at becoming popular, not considering if it will work as advertised. What does the camera have going for it? Nostalgia. That’s probably...
