A range of improvements make Polaroid's updated instant camera even easier to use, and take a lot of the guesswork out of shooting on instant film, even if exposures can still be inconsistent. The iconic shape makes the Now less portable than some rivals, though, and film remains expensive.

Shoots classic, full-size polaroid film; Autofocus gives consistent results; Long battery life and USB recharging;

Bulky shape not easy to carry around; Inconsistent exposures and inaccurate viewfinder; Cost of film quickly adds up

The Polaroid Now might spark nostalgia, but fiddly controls and inconsistent performance mean there are better options, and this is only a must-buy for Polaroid enthusiasts.

Classic Polaroid prints; Chunky retro design; Solid build;

Expensive film; Poor low-light performance; Easy to take a bad photo;

A+++, Highly recommended. Great camera, does what I want it to do.

Great camera, works just as it should. Picture quality is good. Nothing bad to say about it.

Picture Quality was very poor and the films are very expensive would not recommend.

Great fun, just like the original cameras back in the day. Wish film was a bit cheaper though.
