i planned on getting one of these ~ new ~ polaroids as a christmas gift to myself this year so this couldn't have come at a better time ur the best

I’ve always used Fujifilm and never Polaroid because of how expensive it is. Until a couple days ago, I used my friends camera at a beach party and MAN. The difference in build quality and that soft, dreamlike look that Polaroid has unlike Fujifilm is something that just can’t be copied. The price and development time of it turned me off but now I really want one

Instax films have always been so reliable and almost perfect at all times, but it makes most photos look cold and greenish tint. Polaroid looks like something that exists in the 80's which is awesome.

I really love how you create your video! I really enjoyed it and it helped me a lot! Thanks!

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much! Getting my wife one for Christmas and it sounds like the Now is what she needs.

Thank you, this was the last push I needed to go for the one step+. Super excited to try it! Also thanks for learning the metric system haha that def helped me understand!

Love this. Finely one that compares the 3 thx for making this

Helpful, entertaining, well composed, good pacing. Damn man, you got yourself a dedicated subscriber!

Excellent vid tons of info loved it man! I use the One step closeup, but after this video I might have to pick up a One step+. I had no idea that they had so much functionality thanks!

Great video! Helped me decide which Polaroid I should get. Thanks a lot!!!

Thank you so much! Also decided!!! Yay! Amazing video and your professional view!

Man thank a lot! You really help me with this one!

Found your channel after looking for reviews of the Fujifilm Instax Wide, and honestly, you're getting me back into photography and into film photography. And the references your videos have are killer, your videos are so freakin entertaining. That being said, I never heard of a Polaroind camera lol.

You got me liked and subscribed when you said the word “Marauder”!

Nice vid, I have all 3 and dig them all for different moments ... the "Now" hasn't lived up to my hopes, but I will admit that I only have run one pack through , the plus is currently my fave for the manual mode!!!

Excellent ! Thank you very much.

Really appreciate your reviews man! Informative and hilarious! I'm trying to decide between the Polaroid onestep+ and Fuji wide 300 right now.. Curious which you would recommend out of the two? 🙏

I actually did review the Fuji Instax wide maybe two years ago?? I forget lol. (kzread.info/dash/bejne/pqeXqct8hJmah7A.html) At the time, I would have easily recommended the Fuji, because of the film. 2 years ago, Polaroid film was very unreliable. I used to just get packs that didn't work at all. In 2020, Polaroid film is much more stable. I've had consistent results ordering from Polaroid, and using the film in a timely manner. That said, Fuji Instax Film seems to be more stable, and less finicky. Meaning you don't need to worry so much about temperature and crap like that. Fuji Wide is also a bigger frame than Polaroid. The Fuji Instax Wide camera is also wayyyy bigger than the Polaroid cameras. And last but probably most important, the prices. The Instax film is typically cheaper than Polaroid. But the instax wide film in my experience is usually harder to find than Polaroid. Like if you're going to Target or whatever. I'd recommend buying directly from Polaroid anyway, but if you value just going to the store and picking up film, while Instax is cheaper typically, the wide format can be tough to find. All that to say I think at this point, the big question you need to answer is: how big do you want the photo to be? And how big do you want the camera to be? And how much do you want to pay for the film? Hope that helps, sorry I wrote a mini-novel lol

Very good -- thank you!

Hey Lou! I have a One Step+ and I've been using only i-type film( with the white borders) but I don't like how my photos turn out. I have to learn about exposure and the best one for the environment I'm in but apart from that, the pictures turn out to be way toooo vintage-y(I don't know if that makes sense but yeah that's what it does). Funny thing is, I bought the camera to add that vintage touch to my photos but it's just too much*tears*. It might due to the fact that I bought the film in 2019(a pack of 5 boxes which will last up until probably June/July 2021 bc I have 1 pack left) and newer versions might be better. But, in your opinion which film type is the best you've shot with, with One Step+ that gives you a mix of a vintage and modern vibe? And what film did you use at 5:13 and 5:25? BTW your videos are AMAZING! It's so sad how underrated you are :(

Chillaxing on the couch atm, considering getting back into creative photography after many years hiatus...instant cameras appeal once again after their initial heyday. Awesome and informative vid. Polaroid? Instax? Lomography? So many choices!

Hi! I just found your KZread channel while doing research for buying my first instant film camera. I was wondering if you would be willing to give me your opinion on what would be the best fit for me? I'm currently between the Polaroid Onestep+ and the Polaroid Now (you mentioned hoping they would put out a Now+ in your review video of just the Now,, which would honestly be ideal) I am into the just point and shoot for fun with the Now, but love the ideas of the creative Bluetooth options and the overall look of the Onestep+. I don't know what to do! I am also open to other brands, if there is a better one. I just want the best camera, vintage look, square film, but not cheap and typical like most casual shooters have (like the instax mini...too basic for me)

Polaroid Now owner and so glad you made this video. I def want the point and shoot life. And I'm so happy to learn that double exposure is a capability with the Now!!!

One Step + is a pretty sweet modern Polaroid camera. I took my current profile picture with it. If you use portrait mode in the app it will actually tell you if you're standing close enough for the proper focus.

By far the most helpful review I've seen. You explained it well plus the sample pictures for each camera. Well done! By the way, the opening clip is very ugly! Haha!

SO which one?

Hey! I just wonder how much does the film costs?is it worth the price?

It is, good eye. I love that spot, their coffee has to be the best in the area in my opinion

This is a very comprehensive review. Can anyone clarify if there is a way to validate exposure control and focus with the one-step + with the naked eye? Can you see f-stop adjustments with the viewfinder or would you not know until the photo came out? To me, this is the biggest deciding factor between which camera I buy. I wouldn't want to walk around with a light meter to determine if I had perfect exposure or guess and get it wrong, wasting film.

@SweetLouPhotography

3 жыл бұрын

hey there, thanks much. You can't see f-stop adjustments through the VF on the One Step+ it's literally just a plastic window for composition. So yes, you would have to wait and see until the photo comes out. But you can set exposure via the bluetooth connection- I actually did a full review of that camera too if you're interested.

I have the polaroid now and what is the exposure compensation what does that exactly do??

I made a very similar video recently! Completely agree with this video 100%

Get that Polaroid Go! 😃

Which one is best for a wedding and pics from like 8-10 ft away of people posing for an instant group pic? Ty

If you're planning on using a tripod with it. I would get the one step Plus. The now doesn't have a tripod mount. I happen to like the Bluetooth functions of the One-Step + as well.

I agree is better to buy film on their official website, I got some from Bestbuy 😞 and they were in bad~ probably old

is it safe to assume that now (no pun intended) the Now+ is probably the one to go for unless you really really want physical controls? just seems like the new Now but with bluetooth back again

I would say try cleaning the rollers, polaroid has vids on their website. If you have chemical build up on there (since its from the 90s the rollers might be cruddy) that might be why they get stuck. I had a polaroid spectra acting up, and a quick roller cleaning made it work like new. Hope that helps, best of luck

they have different uses- 600 is for the modern Polaroids along with the vintage models. The i-type film doesn't work on the vintage cameras (due to the battery). Since 2020 my experience ordering direct from Polaroid, storing in the fridge and shooting the film in a timely manner both films seem to perform about the same
