About this deal

With its scaled-down form factor, the camera requires a new film - the smallest the company has ever produced. Polaroid has shrunk down its square snaps to a petite 66.6 x 53.9mm, with a 47 x 46mm image size. That makes them smaller than Instax Square prints and more like a squared-off Instax Mini snap. Build quality could be better but this is an excellent instant camera for youngsters or for parties where you don’t want to risk a pricier camera falling into the hands of a sozzled snapper. The credit-card snaps pop out of the top and we got great shots nearly every time, though we found that we had a better success rate with the main setting, rather than selfie mode. The camera works well both indoors and out with the Instax film generally giving sharper results than Polaroid.

At Wilkinson Cameras, we invite you to experience the magic of instant photography. Whether you're a budding photographer, an experienced enthusiast, or someone who values the tangible mementos of life's beautiful moments, our range of Fujifilm and Polaroid instant cameras is bound to inspire your creativity.The only real downside to the SQ1 is that there are no creative modes or even a timer, and there’s also no ability to turn off the flash. It’s also a shame that the prints are smaller than the classic Polaroid size, but on the plus side, it’s much easier to get sharp shots on every go. The textured rubber finish makes the camera nice and grippy while the tripod mount means you can keep it steady when shooting long exposures. Overall, the Lomo’Instant Automat Glass Gives the best results possible from Instax Mini film – the only shame is that the prints are so small.

Cons: Uses non-rechargeable CR2 batteries (but they are included); no creative modes or timer; prints are smaller than PolaroidThe dedicated smartphone iOS and Android app include a self-timer, remote shutter, double exposure and an improved Manual mode that offers more controls for shutter speed, aperture and multiple exposures. There’s also a Portrait mode that tells you if you’re too close or far away for the perfect shot, along with a Lightpainting mode.

Pros: Sharp, wide-angle images; lots of creative options for experimentation; good in low light Cons: Uses slightly niche CR2 batteries (not included); selfie mirror doesn’t match orientation of photo Pros: More creative control than any other instant snapper; classic full-size Polaroid photos; a long-awaited lens cap; smartphone control plus physical lens filtersIt’s still subject to the usual Polaroid hangups: principally, pricey film and somewhat inconsistent exposures. If you don’t plan on using any of the app features, the standard Polaroid Now will likely offer better value, and if you can live without the Polaroid styling, Fujifilm’s cheaper Instax SQ1 is also worth considering. Perfect for travel: never miss a moment anywhere. This small camera is lightweight, durable and great for all of your adventures, trips and explorations. Take it on your next trip and save the memories. Includes a micro USB charging adapter. With instant cameras, you're creating more than just images; you're creating memories, experiences, and tokens of the past. As the photo pops out and gradually develops before your eyes, you become part of a mesmerising process, immortalising a fleeting moment into a piece of memory you can hold. Each print, unique and irreplicable, carries a story and emotion that digital images often fail to convey.
