First Polaroid camera - which to get ?
I’m sure plenty of people before me have asked this same question, but I’ve wanted a Polaroid camera of my own for the longest time, and I’m a little confused on what to choose, as I’ve seen differing opinions online. Primary use is for personal photos, whether it be myself or family or whatever, not professional or anything, although I may want to take some shots here and there for myself. I’ve seen that film can also get pricy too, and I was wondering where y’all get your film from. Currently, I have been looking on eBαy, and as far as I’m aware, I’m making sure the film isn’t over a year old. I’m currently a college student, and although I am willing to spend on film and stuff, I don’t want to spend too much 😅
But anyways, what Polaroid camera would you recommend I buy? So far, I have found good deals on Polaroid Now, but I’ve seen mixed opinions on those. The Polaroid Flip looks very nice, although a bit on the expensive side, but I may just snag one if I find it at a good price. I’ve found good deals on the old Polaroid cameras, but am seeing that it only takes 600 film, which I haven’t rlly found any good deal on. I have been finding some on the i-Type though.
I’d appreciate any advice and/or tips!
