For Black Friday 2026, pick a Polaroid camera by the film and the controls you want. The Now takes i-Type and 600 film and is the simple choice, the Go is the smallest and uses its own Go film, and the I-2 adds manual controls. Always check the film type before you buy.

Now, Go or I-2?

Polaroid’s own pages list the Now, Go and I-2 as separate cameras. The company describes the Now Generation 2 as compatible with i-Type and 600 film. The Go Generation 2 uses Go film only, a smaller format that does not fit other Polaroid cameras. The I-2 arrived in September 2023 as a premium camera with manual controls, and its film details are on the maker’s product page.

Film is a running cost

An instant camera is only useful with film in it, and film differs by format. Look at whether a listing includes a pack, and whether it is the right type. An unopened pack from a reliable seller is better than an unknown stock, since instant film is sensitive to heat and age. Check the expiry date on the box if it is shown.

Checking a listing

Choose condition new, a sealed box and a seller with clear returns. Read the model name against the maker’s page, because the Now has several versions. Look for what is in the box: a charging cable, a strap and any film.
