Polaroid Go Generation 2 IS FINALLY GOOD

[@irinalynch5764]

Hey! Im so glad you posted this! I had no idea this was out!! So so glad it is I loved the size of gen 1 but it was so disappointing!! So so glad they’ve improved it!! 😭

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Yeah Polaroid was very quiet about this release and I don’t understand why. This should be the most important camera for them, the low camera price point and low film price point.

[@irinalynch5764]

@@CREATIVEreviews for sure!!!

[@baylor3894]

I'm definitely getting one of these I'm liking the photos it reminds me of back in the day

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Make sure you get the gen 2 always. The first one was not a good camera

[@baylor3894]

@@CREATIVEreviews ok thanks

[@peffken8834]

A good idea would have been to take the photos with both the 2nd and 1st generation and compare them directly. However, thanks for the video.

[@CREATIVEreviews]

@@peffken8834 that’s a good idea. I’ll try that. But just to be clear, it’s a big difference

[@beastofthedevil96]

Just randomly found your video in my recommended and thought hey, why not watch it (coming from someone who has an instax fujifilm in his household) out of curiosity. And I'm surprised by this vid, as in, it being one shot (...I think?) and how it just showed a TON of pictures of the product in action and your opinion of it. Thanks a lot for this video!

[@CREATIVEreviews]

You’re welcome Yeah, I’ve always hated editing so I do all mine in one shot. For me, the most important part of this new version was the improvement of the quality of the images. They went from being literally unusable temperamental trash to more standard vintagy Polaroid looking

[@Elvis_Pond5]

It would be extremely popular if it would print photos taken from mobile phones so, in this case, a miniature pocketable mobile printer is all that's required.

[@CREATIVEreviews]

If you want that get the Instax Mini Link 2. That’s my favorite mobile printer

[@Elvis_Pond5]

@@CREATIVEreviews Thanks for the information 👍

[@michaelbell75]

Printing digital photos totally defeats the purpose of analog photography....

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Definitely not. We are clearly in a mixed media world

[@MythicSuns]

@@michaelbell75 Your comment is based on the assumption that _all_ people who buy Polaroid cameras are anti-digital photography when in reality it's either _some_ or _most_ . Some people who buy Polaroid cameras probably still take photos with their phone and only use the Polaroid for rare or special occasions. Polaroid themselves also made a digital photo printer for smartphones which tells me that they don't consider themselves above making products for digital photographers. Based on this I would say they should consider making a camera similar to Fuji's Instax Mini Evo that can print from bluetooth but can also do direct prints. I'm not saying they should abandon the full film cameras, just that they should consider making Instant Digital Cameras with bluetooth printing support as well.

I have found that the Gen 2 overexposes in some situations when it’s a sunny day outside. In darker situations it Cleary produces a better photo, but in more outside scenarios the Gen 1 gives more detail and doesn’t blow things out

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Yeah gen 2’s definitely over exposing. I like that lighter vibe more than the gen 1 I can always expect my gen 1 to be way to dark. Maybe it has more contrast but I wouldn’t say it has more details

[@sophytang8320]

Thanks for the video! How does it compare to Instax mini 12? I am thinking of getting one of them but haven't been able to search side by side comparison between the 2...

[@CREATIVEreviews]

INSTAX photos are clear and crisp with good contrast. Polaroid photos are more vintage looking and can vary greatly from photo to photo. INSTAX is consistent. Polaroid is experimental

[@irinalynch5764]

Just to ask about the bed pic with the window is so awesome shot! Was that taken with flash?😊

[@CREATIVEreviews]

No flash on that shot. Also, it’s my fav too. It’s the first picture taken on a Go that looked like it could be displayed professionally

[@spanishginger]

I own the gen 1 go and it's a joke. Like you said the image quality is awful, and the quality of the film itself is hit or miss. My gen 1 also started malfunctioning 7 months after owning it where film got stuck in the camera or the rollers ruining the film and becoming even more waste of money

[@CREATIVEreviews]

I would try cleaning the rollers regularly. That would at least fix that issue But in my opinion, sell your old version for whatever you can get and then buy the gen 2 The models I have of this new version are finally usable with that Polaroid vintage look

[@joannafrix562]

Polaroid is nostalgic, but instax does prettier photos to me.

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Oh definitely. Polaroid is artsy and Instax is consistent

[@valles_marineris8955]

Great review, thank you. I've just bought my Go 2 Gen, and overall is an awesome little piece. The problem I've noticed is a recurrent white pin mark on the top left corner, exactly as the one on the very first photo you show. Is that a problem of the film or the camera? In my case around 70% have it, and I've taken 35 photos. My camera is right out of the box, so I don't think it is related to dirt in the rollers. Hope you can clarify that question. Thanks again

[@CREATIVEreviews]

It’s the camera. It seems to press on that portion of the film on most cameras. Polaroid knows and they always say it’s the film 🤷‍♂️ Although it may be good to clean the rollers even if the camera is brand new

[@valles_marineris8955]

​@@CREATIVEreviewsoh I see, those are quite bad news, because it means that issue won't go away. Apart from that, Is there any reason why one photo can show that dot and the very next be without it? I've been thinking about the possibility of the light shield rolling back and damaging the film...I don't know man, but it's a bit anoying, specially when the dots appear in great shots. Thanks

[@CREATIVEreviews]

They’ll say it’s just the vintage aesthetic of the camera and look but it’s just because it’s a inexpensive body and camera that isn’t made the same every time

[@valles_marineris8955]

@@CREATIVEreviews I see, thank you mate

[@odrater6698]

Hello. I watched the whole video. I don't really know much about cameras but I want to buy an instant camera for my girlfriend. So I would like to know wether I should go for the Polaroid Go Generation 2 or should I just pay more for the Polaroid Now Generation 2 or even the Polaroid Now+ Generation 2.

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Depends on what size you like the pictures to be. I would say do the Go

[@marcc16]

Thanks for the review. May I suggest adding a link to buy in your description?

[@CREATIVEreviews]

I have an affiliate link to buy the bottom of the description

[@neilmoorhead7778]

I have a gen 1 go and it's hit and miss. I'm not convinced to buy the gen 2 as changing the use port is a piecemeal change. Polaroid needs to improve the lens, the flash, and introduce something similar to that a Fuji Instax Evo camera can do. Polaroid, you CAN do better this.

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Watch the video man. And then buy the camera 😂

[@christinesikuta9932]

Hello! Can u please explain how to turn on flash? I trying many times no working 😢

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Long press the flash button to turn it on or off

[@hakeem6060]

Great review! Accessible and practical!

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Thanks 🙏

[@jeremiahbacon3651]

i dont want a clear image i want nostalgia

[@CREATIVEreviews]

But you want a usable image. The first generation was unusable. This gen has the Polaroid look but it’s a usable image

[@anicetune]

I really appreciate this video and you've saved me a lot of money. I didn't realise how crappy this product was until I watched this.

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Which one? The new one is actually good

[@ahmedeloufir]

You’re luckier than me for I got it without checking reviews and it is a disaster

[@trillbill4028]

I disagree. I’ve got one today and it’s raw ass. “Improving photo quality” I can attest it’s still trash.

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Return it and get a new one. Polaroid is still bad at their quality control but the gen 2 go is absolutely better than the original

[@ahmedeloufir]

The quality is still bad

[@CREATIVEreviews]

Compared to what?
