The Polaroid Now+ Gen 2 is one of the best instant cameras today, carrying Polaroid’s trademark excellence. I’ve spent over 600 hours testing instant cameras so I know what makes or breaks it — and I’ve just spent a week with the Now+ Gen 2 to see if it’s worth the hype.
The Now+ Gen 2 produces great retro images with a vintage aesthetic, and the prints are large in size and decent in quality. It’s built to last and sports a lovely, minimalist design with the classic Polaroid rainbow stripe. You get a set of filters for more creative expression, and the companion app gives you lots of manual control over the camera. However, it isn’t without its faults — and i-Type and 600 film will cost you a pretty penny.
