If it says , then you have a camera. Polaroid cameras were one of the newest generations of Polaroid cameras, and was widespread in the 90s. It traditionally used Polaroid type film, which had a much higher sensitivity that made it easier to shoot indoors and in low light. Polaroid completely shut down production of Polaroid film in , and sold off the last of its stock over the next few years.
The last remaining packs of vintage Polaroid out there are extremely expensive and likely have dead batteries in them. Polaroid makes both color and black and white film for cameras , as well as a myriad of special editions. You can purchase the film directly from Polaroid , and also find it at stores like Amazon. The Polaroid OneStep also has a sticker on the bottom of the top side of the cartridge slot.
Polaroid SX film has the same shape as Polaroid , but is an older form of it that was much less sensitive to light. Polaroid SX cameras are also numerous, but tend to be older since their heyday was in the 70s and 80s. SX type cameras are often tougher to use because of their advanced age and lack of features. Most of them do not feature flash, and are, with few exceptions, manual or fixed-focus.
If you get one, I highly recommend picking up a flash bar. Old flash bars were disposable rows of bulbs that popped one-by-one, so a new reusable one is a far better solution. As of press time, the app is not the best, but it does give you the option to use features like Tripod Mode, Manual Mode, or setting a custom f-stop in Aperture Priority Mode. It's pricey, but it does offer a good blend of modern methods and vintage execution.
Sure, it has the right features, but its huge, plasticky body isn't portable compared to a Polaroid-compatible shooter or an Instax Mini camera. Its biggest drawback is the viewfinder, which can make framing close-up shots challenging. But if you want to go wide and don't mind the bulk, it's decent. Fujifilm's Mini Link is close to our top pick, the LiPlay, but ditches the camera functionality. Instead the Mini Link prints images from your phone.
Fujifilm's new mobile app is much better than its past efforts. I'd recommend this over the older SP-2 printer for that reason alone, since the results are otherwise similar. What makes the new app more fun? Fun Modes. Party Print creates collages from multiple phones, while Match Test takes images of two people or two images of one person and prints a combined image.
It'll also tell you how "compatible" it thinks the pair is, which is gimmicky, but what party doesn't lighten up with a little gimmickry? For those of us who value portability, Fujifilm offers the Instax Mini But if you're lucky, you can sometimes find it at a significant discount.
This stylish but expensive camera is fantastic—just not for everyone. Explore Go. Explore Now. Vintage Cameras. Explore Explore SX Instant Printers. Another way to enjoy that analog photography without needing to be a Polaroid photographer. Lab For those who love that analog aesthetic but prefer to take photos on their phone. Explore Lab. Still not sure? Your Bag. Likewise, there are several kinds of film used by Polaroid cameras including i-Type and Polaroid even prints the appropriate film type on a sticker in the film door.
Beyond that, consider whether you want a camera that can also snap digital stills without immediate printing or special features to go above and beyond simple snapshots.
These can range from simple features like selfie mode and a remote shutter to advanced exposure controls like bulb photography.
The good news, though, is that choosing the right one is pretty straightforward. If you have a Polaroid camera, you need Polaroid film.
There are a few common kinds of Polaroid instant film, but most of the new Polaroid cameras work with both i-Type and film. Polaroid includes a sticker that tells you want kind of film to use. Most non-Polaroid instant cameras are even easier. Fujifilm Instax film works in all Fujifilm instant cameras as well as in Lomo models. There are three kinds of Instax film: Instax mini, Instax wide and Instax square.
Last but not least, Zink cameras all use Zink cartridges, but there are two different sizes—2x3-inch and 3x4-inch. Yes, there are! You can copy digital images into a MicroSD card and insert it into the camera, then select and print those images. That essentially turns your Zink instant camera into a portable printer.
