I recently bought a Now Gen 2 and from the pictures i've taken so far the camera appears to have a tendency to under expose but i haven't used it on a bright sunny day as yet. Those that i have taken have been inside with flash or outside on overcast days without flash. The flash is only usable outside at short distances anyway as it's not powerful enough for longer shots. If you want to use flash outside for longer distances you need to use an auxiliary flash gun with an optical sensor and set the gun to S1 mode so that the camera's own flash can trigger the auxiliary flash.

The USB-C charging is good but not worth the upgrade from my point of view if already owning gen 1. It would have been great if a tripod mount was added. It’s something the Polaroid Go also lacks.

I want to buy MY FIRST Polaroid but I'm really undecided. I'm a beginner but I'm undecided between the NOW and the NOW+. Of both versions, gen 2 differs from gen 1 only for the USBC, in practice, right? Can the flash be deactivated in both possibly? In the end, what do you recommend? I would like to shoot both indoors and outdoors a lot.

I started with the 600, the film is a bit more expensive as the film carries the disposable battery. From what I understand.. I’m glad I got to see the outcome of an original, retro Polaroid camera before going to the gen 2. Gives you an idea on the implications/differences. The Polaroid 600 can be found very cheap too.

It wouldn’t keep the settings the same during use without the app once it’s turned off. I’ve never been a big fan of using the app to change settings at all because I’m a point and shoot person and I’m definitely not going to open the app every time I need to take a photo They have a light sensor on the camera, it should do a better job estimating the light for the inconsistent Polaroid film

Polaroids are very temperamental. I never expect something consistent even when taking pics back to back. Other than that, just make sure your film is kept in the fridge until you use it and if it’s extremely hot outside you will get colorshift. The + seems to overexpose and the now seems to underexpose

At least for me, I’ve never seen a brown line on B&W film. That would be almost impossible because it’s a true black and white chemistry unlike Instax which is a type of color emulating B&W. Polaroid’s black and white film is my favorite to shoot on because of how crisp the photos are and I feel like it does better in low light
