If you want images imbued with the same quality as the ones your parents and grandparents took, the Now is sure to Wow.

The ability to add up to 256GB of microSD memory means that you can snap to your heart's content, then cherry-pick the images that you want to print. That said, Polaroid is trying something different; it has just released its first manual control camera, the Polaroid I-2, at a whopping 600 bucks!If you're after full-size instant photos that possess quality and that elusive 'vintage look', the Polaroid Now+ is the obvious choice.

This may change once the wallet-friendly Polaroid Go establishes itself, but for now, Instax is the overall winner in our book. These hybrid instants combine a digital camera with a built-in printer, so you can choose which shots you print –and when you print them.Fuji has a much more extensive line-up of cameras, divided between Instax Mini, Instax Square and Instax Wide formats. The advantage here over a cheaper instant-print camera is an LCD display strip at the back revealing your chosen settings. The Mini Evo produces amazing analog photos with the option to add creative effects in-camera, and also enables you to turn your phone images into real Instax prints. This is especially important with cameras that use a photochemical exposure process, since results can vary greatly even in only subtly different situations. While the traditional camera market has long been trending downward, Polaroids and Instaxes have experienced huge growth and revenue!
