Instax vs Polaroid: what is the best instant camera?

[@sarahlittell448]

Wish I could see the photo difference on half of these but the glare is absolutely awful

[@johnluke5478]

True, true.

I've got several versions of the Polaroid (Now, Now +, a 600 from the 1980s), and SX-70 camera, a Spectra, a Lomography Wide, an Instax SQ6. I don't have anything on mini format.

[@AmateurPhotographerTV]

That's quite a collection! What's your favourite one?

[@Nanou197373]

@@AmateurPhotographerTV the SX 70 wins! but I love using the Fuji SQ6 and the Lomography Wide as well (this one takes a bit of getting used to)

Have y’all checked out any of the lomography cameras?

I love the fact that polaroid makes everything feel more nostalgic, just the era I grew up in I guess, and the picture is the biggest

I love your photos, ladies! well done on your first experience. I like both cameras, because the format is slightly different, the end result is different, the user experience is different. I've become something of an expert over the years. As a general rule of thumb, it's better to leave the flash on when using Polaroid because it's notorious for performing badly in low light. I wouldn't use it unless the weather's very sunny. The Instax does very well indoors. I got totally hooked, and it looks like you just have caught the bug too :) Well done and great video!

Thank you for watching the video!

Instax film is closer in look to the original Polaroid film. Polaroid (impossible project) now film is just too temperamental, and it’s a shame that this doesn’t get covered when casual photographers review it. Can’t blame them though since they rarely shoot it. Cold weather = blue cast to photos. Hot weather = pink cast. Pod failures. Packs that eject 2 shots in one shot. 🤦‍♂️

Clearly neither one of these AP students read the instructions! Both seem like nice air heads though.
