The Polaroid Now is a welcome arrival to the Polaroid product line and a worthy addition to the increasingly crowded instant camera world. For pure point-and-shoot simplicity, the Polaroid Now 3 is hard to beat – and while the pink Instax Mini 11 does have it beaten on price, we prefer the full-size square prints that Polaroid delivers.
And much as we love the Instax line, when you're shooting an old-school instant film there's nothing quite like the tactility of holding a big, boxy Polaroid. Plus this is one of the best-looking pink cameras that is currently available.

The bulbous, bubble-like design of the Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 may have you thinking it’s a bit of a toy, but this camera does pretty much everything a budding instant film photographer would want it to, and it does it with one of the most affordable instant films on the market. A selfie mirror on the lens barrel makes it a great camera for self-portraits, and it’s powered by cheap and easily available AA batteries. If you want creative control then you’d best look elsewhere, as this camera lacks many of the modes and options seen on its rivals, but if all you want to do is point, shoot and create beautiful mini Prints, this Instax camera will knock it out of the park.

The Panasonic Lumix S9 packs full-frame performance into a ultra-compact, user-friendly body. Featuring a 24.2-megapixel sensor, it captures rich, detailed images ideal for travel, landscapes, and low-light shooting – and has proved very popular with vloggers and content creators.
However, its portability comes with trade-offs. The camera lacks an electronic viewfinder and a mechanical shutter, features a single SD card slot, and relies on an autofocus system that lags behind key rivals. Battery life is best suited for casual use rather than extended sessions.
Despite these compromises, the S9 is a standout choice for creators prioritizing lightweight convenience and the ability to have a choice of lens options.

The Kodak FZ55 has been one of the best-selling cameras in the last couple of years because Kodak is about the last brand making cheap, optical zoom point-and-shoots. It is small and stylish, and is easy to use. Sure, purists might turn their noses up at the image quality, but that retro, low-fi vibe is precisely the draw—it’s pure nostalgia for the early digital era. Your smartphone might take sharper photos, but for anyone seeking a nostalgic experience on a budget, these cameras deliver.

This instant camera is rather different to the others here, in that it also has a digital camera built-in - so you can shoot a version of your pictures to share on social media, as one as one to pass around the party. It does this with such speed that it’ll allow you to shoot a second still while the first is still printing, ensuring you don’t miss the moment even if you were a little premature with the shutter button. It also has a switch that allows you to toggle between color and monochrome shots, and if you run out of prints, you can keep on shooting by switching to the microSD card (this is not supplied with the camera).
High-quality 360° images in a single shot? Sounds great to us. Ricoh’s Theta cameras have garnered a deserved reputation for their ease of use and unique USP, and the Theta SC2 does everything they’re reputed to do (see our guide to the best 360 cameras). It shoots 4K video from its 360° perspective as well, and built-in Wi-Fi allows you to quickly transfer your creations to a phone or computer. This version is pleasingly small and light, and while its specification is unlikely to blow anyone away, it does what it does well.
If you want something truly retro, then this pink Kodak camera allows you to shoot 35mm roll film. It is styled like a disposable camera, with the only manual control on option being a flash on/off button - but it can be used multiple film. Great value for the camera - but you obviously need to pay for the film and the processing each time you use it.
