Instant film cameras are pure fun. Their nostalgic prints make them a go-to for capturing memories and creative projects that need a vintage vibe. All of these models have a fun aesthetic, are easy to use, and produce photos with a retro look for a reasonable price.

We recommend getting the Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 as it’s a great deal and easy to use. We also like the Polaroid Now I-Type Instant Camera as it offers true-to-size prints and that classic Polaroid look.

I’ve been a freelance writer and photographer since 2017, shooting everything from street scenes to sports. I’ve used brands from Nikon to Canon and beyond, mirrorless and DSLR systems, and shot analog film. My professional photography clients include universities, local businesses, and individuals in need of a good headshot. As a writer, I’ve also researched various tech products to compile best-of lists, from DSLRs to photo printers to camera straps—John Bogna.

TL;DR: This user-friendly instant camera is easy to operate and a good deal if you don't mind smaller prints.
