Using an LCD rather than a physical viewfinder, the Evo lets you preview your exact shot, tweak your exposure compensation and even add lens and and film filters.

You can get creative with 4 brightly colored flash gels. By placing them over the flash, you can get warm and cool tones. By using Bulb Mode, you can take long exposure photos. For multiple exposures, use the MX switch. I fell in love with this palm-sized camera faster than it took a photo to develop –and so does everyone I show it to. It's the world's smallest analog instant camera, and it produces fittingly tiny instant photos, too. In terms of quality, the Polaroid Now cameras balance exposures better while rival Instax Mini cameras deliver slightly better image quality indoors. Some of these cameras will automatically choose the best exposure and change the flash and shutter speed settings for you, while others will give you more control and let you choose whether to turn the flash on or off. Print development time In short, very. You don't need to worry about complicated autofocus modes, setting the right white balance, or balancing the exposure triangle – simply load your film (this can be a little fiddly first time, but should soon become a cinch) and press the shutter button. Cameras don't get much simpler than this! Some instant cameras do offer more advanced creative features, but you don't have to use them – and most instant cameras are intentionally basic to be in-keeping with the retro, no-nonsense instant camera ethos.

You want the full instant experience: The Instax Link Wide makes prints from digital images, rather than analogue from start to finish.

In operation, it’s about as user-friendly as a Polaroid gets, ideally suited to point-and-shoot photography.

With different colors to choose from and two interchangeable shutter buttons included in the kit, the Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 gives you plenty of ways to customize your new instant camera! Features:

Polaroid and Fujifilm's Instax are the two biggest brands in instant cameras. While both use similar technology, using chemical reactions that self-develop each image in your hand, the main difference between them is the type of film their cameras take. The Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 has been on the market for a while now and won’t be the instant print camera of choice for everyone. Yes, we love the larger prints but would happily forgo the larger camera size if we could achieve them. You can capture smaller subjects that are up to 16 inches away by using a close-up lens. To zoom in on a subject, apply a focal zoom dial that has two focus zones. Take this camera anywhere you go and use an ideal setting for every subject.
