I'm a bit of a Polaroid geek, and the company makes some of the best instant cameras – but they tend to be a bit more expensive than their rivals from Instax. Not right now, though!
Polaroid's latest Generation 2 Now cameras have just hit their lowest price ever, with savings of up to £39 on these brilliant analog nostalgia machines when you buy direct from Polaroid. While the Now+ is my personal favorite, all three deliver brilliant results.
The best savings are available if you've never ordered from the Polaroid store before, as you can register as a new member and get an exclusive first-timer discount! Here are the savings on offer…
I own eight Polaroids, including vintage models from the Seventies and Eighties, and these Gen 2 updates really are some of the best cameras ever to bear the name.
You can check my Instax vs Polaroid guide to see what the main differences are, but honestly – to me there's nothing better than Polaroid's Now series. You don't even have to check what type of instant film you need, as they accept both i-Type and 600 film.
The standard Polaroid Now is your traditional, straightforward point-and-shoot Polaroid with an autofocus system that chooses the right lens for you, a flash that delivers great exposures, and a built-in USB-chargeable battery.
For serious shooting, the Polaroid Now+ Generation 2 adds serious creative control, with manual features like aperture mode and light painting, a tripod mount for long exposures, physical lens filters and even a lens cap!
It's rare to find Polaroids discounted by this much, so I wouldn't waste any time if you're interested – I don't know how long this deal lasts!
