Polaroid Now 2nd Generation I-Type Instant Film Camera

It’s not real Polaroid. Nothing like the original. The picture quality is terrible and it’s not as easy to use as the original. They’re dark and dreary like a 90’s grunge album cover, no matter the lighting. They’re a little fuzzy under the best circumstances but if you breathe, you end up with an unrecognizable blob. There’s this black plastic cover that pops out over every new photo. You have to carefully remove the picture from under the cover, while the cover’s trying to shoot back inside the camera. There was no weird plastic cover on the old film. And the worst part is that it takes forever for the pictures to develop. You can’t watch it develop. Instructions say to sit the picture face down and wait. That was the best part of Polaroid, watching the picture develop in front of your eyes. If you were hoping for that, forget about it. Watching them develop now is like watching paint dry. We have Polaroid pictures from the 70’s and 90’s that are still perfect to this day. Well lit, sharp, clear and we got to watch them develop right in front of our eyes. The pictures from this camera were complete garbage. They’re definitely not going into any family album. They literally went into the trash. They shouldn’t even be allowed to call this Polaroid. This is junk. We all loved the real Polaroid and can’t believe how awful this is. We bought it because of the name. We didn’t know that somebody had bought it out and changed the film because they were unable to reproduce Polaroid’s version. My entire family sat around my daughter as she opened this on Christmas morning. It was actually comical when we were collectively like wth when we tried taking pictures with it. Save your time and spend the extra few bucks to get the Fuji film. It’s not as good as the og polaroid either but it’s light years ahead of this hunk of junk.
