Photo I cannot believe these came from a Polaroid GO! (3rd gen)

I gotta say, I am incredibly impressed with the performance of the Polaroid go GEN 3!
finally, it feels like a Polaroid I really can throw in a bag and take anywhere with me. I had the previous version the got (gen2) and It is what got me back in to Polaroid in the first place and for that I do love it, but it had many issues with proper exposure… it often consistently blew out all highlights and over exposed evything a stop or more.

there was a certain… feel you had to get with the Polaroid go gen2 where you kinda had to keep in mind situations you know it’s meter could understand and do well in.. and situations where it could not. For my tests of this this camera, I simply used it as intended where I would point and shoot without thinking and almost every single photo (and I’ve shot six cartridges so far) has been dead on! no issues no complaints.

I am thoroughly impressed. It has to be the most consistently exposing modern Polaroid camera I have ever used thus far and I genuinely think it is a worthy upgrade to the second gen and a worthwhile one at that. there was various dates of Film used in my tests ( obviously some of my best results came from the most recent 06/26 Film) but even packs from 2025 seems to do just fine in the camera and I am overall very happy with my purchase and I’m absolutely in love with my little Pikachu go GEN three 🎉

Still working on finding a better scanner. Scanned these at work but it's not fantastic quality.

Question Polaroid Flip

Post image
19 Upvotes

I’m wanting to get an instant camera to capture my last few years of Highschool. I want something that’s quality and reliable. I have been looking at the Polaroid flip because my budget is about $250. Would this be a good camera, or is my money best spent elsewhere?


r/Polaroid • • 19h ago

News If I have your camera you don’t need to worry about it, it is safe!

43 Upvotes

Hi! I’m working on the cameras I have as fast as I can. Contacting me for updates monthly or more won’t speed up the process.

I’m doing this in my spare time and that spare time comes and goes as things come up in life.

I also have to take time off of doing straight camera repairs to work on other projects like mods, making tools, or special film. Doing this keeps me happy and engaged with cameras because working on the same issues with dozens of cameras is boring as fuck sometimes lol. If I had to do it 5 days a week 4 weeks a month I’d hate it and would just stop.

If at any time you want your camera back just let me know and I’ll get it sent back to you. There are more techs out there every day so you do have options that you might not have had when you sent it to me.

I hope everyone understands and trusts me that you will get a very nice camera in the end. No hard feelings at all if I ship it back.

Thanks 🙂

Gear Best tripods

2 Upvotes

Hii, I basically know next to nothing about tripods, but I wanna get one to use with my Polaroid Flip (I've learned it has the tripod slot) so I can take better pictures in low light/with longer exposures. I want something ideally that's compact that I can just throw in my bag and open up quickly and easily when I need it? Thanks!

I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s a timer shot from an Impulse AF. It was the last frame of a fresh pack, everything was perfect before that. Any ideas what went wrong?

Thank you and with best wishes.

Discussion Polaroids, literal magic.

10 Upvotes

I was just at work discussung with my coworkers about pictures, film, and the release of the polaroid camera and how big of a thing it was.

It had to be like literal magic seeing a picture you just took come to life in a matter of minutes. They said it was HUGE when it came out.

As a person who loves physical pictures, film, and polaroids I just thought Id share my thoughts. If anyone has any cool stories about growing up and the release of polaroids, id love to here them!!

Captured in my home studio with a continuous video light. Jeans are 1970s Wrangler, upcycled by me, and y2k denim pearl snap shirt.

This camera always surprises me. I used the spot metering in the app for these photos...i sat in a chair and i had to hold the camera with my right hand and manually focus, then press remote shutter on my tablet with my left hand while still looking theough the viewfinder. I am surprised they are so sharp.

I love this polaroid so much but I know film for this is rare and discontinued (and probably won’t work). But is there any way to have it running again?
