Polaroid - NOW Gen3 - Instant Camera - Camera + Color Film Bundle (16 photos) Black (6560)

This Polaroid - NOW Gen3 camera arrived very beautifully packed in a box packaging. This makes the best gift for anyone because everyone can enjoy this product by capturing some nice memories.This is an instant print camera, which is quite trendy. It looks an old style camera how people used to take pictures in the past. However , it’s trendy again.I really love the idea of printing the pictures instantly. I admit the quality is not as good as digital photographs however the benefit of this camera is that it will instantly print the picture.Another great use of this camera is that you can take this camera to parties and snap pictures which then can be printed and provided to the guest instantly. You can take pictures with your friends and print them instantly.I really love the size of the pictures. They are small which are ideal to stick on the fridge or create a collage on the wall.overall, it’s a very good camera and easy to use however the cost of one picture could be quite high.highly recommended and worth the price.

Pros:Super intuitivePoint and clickInstant printNice memento for people, digital photos are rarely printed and become lost in the phoneStick it on your fridge or mirrorFilm includedCan use 2 types of film size, and B&WCons:A bit dark in lower light conditionsPrints can take up to a month to fully develop (90% done in 30 minutes)Photos are about £1.70 each when the cost is broken downThis is good value for money, as there is only one factory still around making Polaroid film, it can be a bit expensive to take loads of photos, with the included 16 you should be well on your way!The camera is quite bulky... but it needs to be to print full size polaroids. I would recommend buying a case to go along with it as one isn't included. The build quality is solid.The camera comes with 2x8 shot film cartridges and can be mounted on a tripod for group photos.The camera is easy to use, point and click, half press the button to focus, and there is a delay timer on the front

I can still remember my dad having a Polaroid camera back in the 1970s before I even started school and the thrill of seeing the photo film develop was pretty magical. I have no idea what happened to that camera but it's really nice to have almost the exact same experience in 2025 with the Polaroid Now Gen 3. This camera really does have that 1970s retro look and the film still takes agonizingly long to develop, lol - am I not shaking it enough? But to be honest I don't really mind, that a few minutes later I have a fully developed colour photo in my hands, just like you could get in the 1970s when it was actually quite revolutionary! (You didn't have to get your film developed several weeks later by a high street shop)This camera takes the larger Color i-Type film it is NOT compatible with the smaller (and cheaper) Color Go film, this particular configuration came with a double pack (2x8) of 16 i-Type photos. There is also the NOW+ version which connects to the Polaroid app on your phone via Bluetooth, but if you're just looking for a classic Polaroid camera experience then this NOW Gen3 version is perfect.

To tell you honestly , massive disappointment . Nothing like the old time Polaroid . Pictures blurry , have a massive pink tint.An excitement that we will have beautiful memories from our travel and my wife’s pregnancy to keep for an album turned out to be disappointment with photos that are embarrassing to put on the wall.Massive disappointment.

Polaroid camera arrived on time, good value for money, Only thing is it didn’t come with a USB cable to charge the camera up except for that all good.

Disappointed as the quality is not great, photos are faded and colour is not vibrant.
