The Best Instant Film Cameras

[@s3cr3tpassword]

I can’t believe there hasn’t been a video comparing all these camera before. I’m super digging the Polaroid colors, really gets you the old school vibe. But the Fuji is much more affordable ;-(

[@ludwigvonn9889]

Agree, Polaroid has that old school vibe in the photos.

[@44Blueskies]

did you get one? debating myself. The polaroid's film looks cheaper in the long run.

[@luluah1198]

I had a basic Polaroid camera it was eventually stolen. Husband got me an instant Fuji mini 7s at the time . Photos too small, not great if friends are like 10 metres away hard to see faces . Seems like it’s only good up close. Relocating now just found the instax selling it and getting a Polaroid again. Never getting Fuji mini again, it’s so mini not worth it for me. I’m happy to get a used Polaroid older model as long as the quality is there and size of the Polaroid snaps

[@alexmighty9004]

I think the polaroid produced the worse results. The frame borders don't look appealing. Especially with the newer models. Fuji Instax reigns supreme in my book.

[@asianfrenchcanadian]

Actually, believe it or not, older polaroids on eBay are pretty affordable. I got a near-mint condition Impulse-AF for 20 or 30 bucks. Also got an OK condition Polaroid 360 Land Camera for 25 bucks a week ago, though since expired film alone is 90 bucks, it's just there so my Impulse has a friend for the time being. But my Impulse (when cleaned) takes wonderful pictures. Best part is, there's still film for it under 90 bucks. (600 film goes for around 20 bucks)

Thank you for another great video, Taylor! For those thinking about getting an instant film camera, there is a small learning curve with framing due to the parallax effect (the rangefinder on these cameras is usually off to the side instead of centered with the lens). You will occasionally throw some photos away early on, but don't be discouraged! It's part of the journey/ hobby. And on the flip side, there will be times the picture turns out even better than you expected. Those surprises are what make all the duds/ "practice shots" worth it. Enjoy :)

[@scotchbonnie4122]

The colour of this video is general is so pretty! Loved this video

[@matthewbeach2952]

11:30- I’m really glad you said that. I’m a massive over thinker and was debating which one to get someone for a gift. I decided on the sq6 and I believe your probably right, they’re all good options and I probably can’t go wrong. Great video.

I am a Polaroid user now, but first experienced instant photography with Instax Mini. I'll admit, at first, I was frustrated with Polaroid's quality. Mainly the color and crispiness of the image. Plus, it's very expensive film. But, I chose and stick to Polaroid because I want a bigger picture, plus, Polaroid is the OG instant camera. Also, Polaroid cameras are leaning to vintage looking than Fuji's very now approach. I love seeing comparisons like this, because, it shows why Polaroid is a standout. The vibe hits different unlike any other instant cameras that show almost the same feels. But, that's just me :)

[@FrickinRod]

you should check out the instax mini 40. best looking instax camera imo

I am leaning towards the Lomo and Polaroid. The Lomo would be nice if it were square. So I think I’ll go for the Polaroid because it’s square and has more of the vintage vibe because of that slightly purplish filter. Thanks Taylor!

[@gflo_lover]

I believe the lomo comes in at least one other size which accepts the regular instax film.

[@emilybayliss9619]

[@luvjnz]

Hello! Which camera did you decide to purchase?📷

[@SV_Photo531]

I have a Fuji Instax Mini 90 and just picked up the new Instax Wide printer. The colors look so much more rich than the Polaroid’s in my opinion. With that said, photography is fun no matter the camera. Instant film is fun regardless of brand. Go get a camera and have fun! 🤙🏼

For anyone looking at the SQ1, I highly recommend you look at the SQ6 first. It’s cheaper and has mire modes and it’s an awesome instant camera.

[@gia9551]

Yeah I don’t get the release of the sq1. Maybe they’re discontinuing the sq6 soon

[@thmoow]

It’s a shame because I was really looking forward to what they’d do with the new SQ, turns out it’s just a glorified downgrade from the previous one.

[@chasebutler2665]

@@thmoow indeed. The SQ10 and SQ20 aren’t what I would hope for either. They are a neat idea but not what a lot of people want when they buy these kinds of cameras

[@NT-hz7rc]

I was just about to write a comment similar! The SQ6 is far greater with so many other options on the camera. Options like Landscape mode, selfie mode, double exposure, macro, light/dark mode, and has a timer. The SQ1 has none of those.

[@Feelingbetterful]

Awesome thanks for this info

[@AimShootDevelop]

I love the Polaroid now! I’ve been using it for reference shots in my videos. When I have time to compose I use my Polaroid 600SE with my custom Polaroid back!

[@elisabeth46]

How long have you been using it? Have you noticed any issues with the camera itself? And quirks or small things that have broken over time?

[@pawpow9631]

I want to grow by exploring, appreciating and treasuring all the moments of my life. I badly want to have an instant camera but as of now, my parents won't allow me because its too expensive. Its so nice to look back and remember how we choose to fight and be happy in life. Instax camera will always have special place in my heart. God bless you more for allowing everyone to be happy and pursuing their pasion.

[@newecreator]

My favorite is the Polaroid Now. Green shadows and purple highlights with a moody vibe. I like that.

[@rjsvids]

polaroid One Plus is better

[@newecreator]

[@iTechRevolutionTV]

It’s more like wether or not you prefer autofocus vs extra options. The Now has the autofocus feature, so a point to shoot kind of style. Where as the + has options you can use through the app. If you dont use those fonctions the + is the same as the VF2.

Only downside to polaroid is the film price.

The Instax mini selfie mode can be a bit of a problem if you have short hands. Although it's said it can take pictures from as little as 30 cm, the flash makes it that those photos are often overexposed and it caused me to throw away a couple films ngl

[@joshjacobson9846]

Dang. I wish I saw this before I bought the Polaroid Onestep Plus...after taking the first three photos I was on the phone with customer support because I thought either the film I was sold was bad or that there was something wrong with the camera.
