Polaroid’s OneStep+ makes instant photography even more fun with app connectivity

As charming and fun as taking instant photos with an analog camera is, the world is digital now, and if you can’t post your shots to Instagram, they might as well not exist.

That’s why Polaroid Originals (formerly Impossible) has returned with the OneStep+, a new instant camera that mashes last year’s OneStep 2 with Bluetooth and app connectivity.

At $159.99, the new OneStep+ is a little pricier than the $99.99 OneStep 2, but it does come with a bunch of new improvements that are well worth the extra charge. Read more…

The Polaroid Pop is one of the most disappointing instant cameras I’ve ever used

Polaroid Pop
$199.99
The Good

Has a GIF maker mode

The Bad

Slow autofocus • Laggy touchscreen • Printed photos aren’t stickers • Display scratches really easily • Crummy video quality

The Bottom Line

The Polaroid Pop tries to bridge analog and digital, but the design is so mediocre you’ll end up throwing a fit before you get any fun shots.

If you’re itching for the good ol’ days of Polaroid cameras and instant film, you have a couple of options:

  1. Buy an old Polaroid camera and get some Polaroid Originals Type-600 film for it.

  2. Buy one of Polaroid Originals’ new instant cameras, like the very fun OneStep 2.

  3. Buy one of Fujifilm’s Instax instant cameras (I’ve reviewed many over the years such as the retro-tastic Mini 90 and Wide 300, and the Mini 70). Read more…

The Moto Z’s latest Mod turns the phone into a Polaroid instant camera

sudshr47 November 15, 2017

 The Moto Z’s selection of modular backings have been pretty hit or miss (largely miss, if I’m being honest), but this one’s pretty clever. Sure, the addition of a Polaroid Insta-Share Printer Moto Mod probably isn’t going to make anyone run out and buy the company’s latest flagship, but this is a case where it actually makes sense to have the accessory as a… Read More
