The instant camera "Polaroid Now+" has infinite possibilities, but the degree of completion of the app is regrettable.

Photograph by polaroid

An instant camera is an attractive product that combines the vintage mechanism of film cameras and modern techniques.Among them, "Polaroid Now+" proves the comfort when nostalgia is updated.Many instant cameras are on sale, but there is nothing better than the analog atmosphere of snapshots that can be taken with traditional polaroids.Polaroid "Polaroid Now" has three colors, white, black, and blue gray, which is a really wonderful instant camera, and is beautiful to choose.The price of $ 150 (about 17,000 yen) is comparable to other instant cameras.If you are a photo enthusiast who likes to pick up your work as evidence of shooting, it will be worth buying.

Surprising analog feeling

The feeling of Polaroid Now+is wonderful.It is solid and heavy, and in contrast to smartphones and "Instax " in this regard.After attaching the neck strap (honestly, I want you to attach it from the beginning).It may not be a big deal compared to the equipment used by professionals, but if you carry a product weighing about 450g, which is packed with a certain level of technology, it feels surprisingly analog.The body has a solid and square design like a polaroid, with a large viewfinder and several physical buttons.I am grateful that it is a battery rechargeable type, but it is unfortunate that the micro USB port lid is fixed with claws.In addition, a porch with a zipper is included, of which there is a color lens filter that can be attached and detached with one touch.A fun quick start booklet with the theme of the 70's is also included.Polaroid Now+supports the inexpensive instant film "i-type" made by Polaroid.Film can be purchased by itself, but a set sale between the main unit and the film pack is also available (the price will be added to the price by about $ 50).One pack of film is sold for about $ 16 (about 1,800 yen), so a set is not particularly advantageous.
