    Fuji Instax Mini 11: amzn.to/3GJzV0z. Fuji Instax Film: amzn.to/3sDxUxI
    In this video I test and review the NEW Polaroid Go instant camera vs the popular Fuji Instax Mini 11. I tell you what is the best instant camera for kids and what is the best instant camera for everyone on the go right now. Polaroid makes a big splash with their come back cameras, but are they good enough for you to purchase? I hope this video helps you decide what is the best instant camera to buy right now!

    Great review! Don’t know if you’ve seen that they released black frame film for the GO and I’m not sure if it’s because of the contrast of the black frame with the image colors that increases the quality to the eye or they really improved on the quality of the film itself but the pics look so much better on the black frame!

    The Polaroid Go is cute. When I received it, at first I was disappointed with the IQ. But I used it on day trips (already visited before) within my country last summer on bright sunny days without flash, just like you mention, and the results were quite good. The temperature was not above 25°C/77°F. Shot portraits, architecture and a few landscapes. Hope Polaroid can improve the film. However my preferred small analog instant camera is from the brand to be seen on your monitor. It’s an expensive one based on the Fuji mini 90 with some tweaks. I like the look and handling over the Fuji mini 90.

    • @DominicPhillip
      @DominicPhillip  2 роки тому +1

      The mini 90 is really cool. I think Fuji is far ahead of the game, but I'm excited that Polaroid is back in it. Thanks for watching

    Good review! My sister bought two Instax for her wedding so guests could take pics as mementos and I stole one at the end of the night. Been using it ever since and I do enjoy the image quality only if slightly overexposed at times.

  • @HelloYersoGae
    @HelloYersoGae Рік тому +14

    I don't dislike the overexposure, it's nostalgic of the original Polaroids when I was a kid. If I'm worried about a photo being overexposed then I just use my phone. I mostly use my Instax mini for scrapbooking

    This is the most honest review i watch so far when it comes to polariod go. Indeed it produce crappy image. I have both of the camera but i often use the polariod go since i dont like the image it produce. At first i thought i just dont know how to use it.

    • @DominicPhillip

  • @XricheeX
    @XricheeX Рік тому +11

    So I would prefer the ''go'' over the '''mini'' and here's why: The mini photo size is quite small, but the body of the mini is almost the same size as a wide/square instax camera, you can't take either three of them with you in your pocket, they're just too big for that. Knowing that, it makes 0 sense to purchase the ''mini'' instead of a wide or square. but like I said, neither the mini, square or wide have a small enough body to take with you in your purse or pocket, and that's where the go is perfect. yes the photo size is small, but it's so easy to carry with you. I myself own an instax wide and the polaroid go. the wide I use mostly at home, and often have it in my car so If I go to friends I can grab it out of my car if I'm still nearby. and the polaroid go I pretty much bring everywhere just in case, to parties and event, my job, etc.

    you solved my doubts. But still, if anyone is reading this, can you suggest a camera that can be used for 20-30 years? I mean i do not want to change the model, once i have bought the piece. I will re buy the camera again and again in the years to come. For now, fujifilm seems to be the right kind of camera brand for me. feel free to type long comments. I am looking for a life time friend here(in the form of the camera)

  • @michaelmichniak127
    @michaelmichniak127 5 місяців тому

    My opinion of any of the Polaroid film that was made after the original company went bankrupt and stopped producing film is that it cannot compare to what Fuji produces. Even with the improvements The Impossible Project made, the film just does not have the same color saturation and truer colors that the Fuji film has. It does not matter what Polaroid camera you are using or film type, the picture quality is not there compared to today's Fuji film and the film Polaroid produced pre-bankruptcy. I just wish Fuji would bring back FP-100C peel apart film, the best of the best!

      there are people who want an unbiased review that makes them decide in choosing a one off purchase in this field of instant cameras. especially when your looking at between $250 to $300 Australian and you want to gift.
      I don’t want a review that has a tone like it’s by a person who got a product motive It’s not a genuine review imo and I’m not getting my info from here.
