Which Polaroid camera?
Hello everyone
I earn a little money babysitting and am saving up for a Polaroid camera that I want to take with me on my long summer vacation. Can anyone recommend a particularly good one? My father also had the idea of a Polaroid camera where you can see the picture first and then save it to a SIM card before printing it, so you can also have it on your phone.
Then you can also take your phone and get a Polaroid photo printer. That’s no other thing. The cameras that save pictures draw digital on and then they are printed analogously. This is no longer purely analogue to a real instant camera.
Right polaroid images are also expensive and cost almost 2€ per image, which you should also consider. If you just snap 100 pictures, you’d have the money for a decent digital mirror reflex camera.
Thank you so much for not having so much experience in this area
Hello
these are not real instant image cameras but copact cameras with printers are available from Canon, Polaroid, Fujifilm, Kodak. The installed camera is usually a cheap smartphone camera with 1/3″ sensor
Simpler is you buy an instant printer and photograph with the mobile phone there are 6 different portable printing methods (Selphy to Zero Ink) and the exposure of Fuji Instax and Polaroid analog film with laser exposure.
an instant image camera is only worthwhile if you need 90% of your images immediately as a “right” paper image.
consider that this procedure is very expensive, i.e. that each “most” image is approx. 2 €. Therefore, you should bring with you enough photo-know how to exclude such starter-murks in terms of image design, lighting conditions, etc.
Alternatively, you can also use a mini photoprinter, which can be “feed” with digital images (e.g. from the handy) and which does not require much more space than a correct polaroid. from dozens or more photos, you can find out the best that are worth “appearing on paper”.
