Finally, something that does exactly what it was originally intended to do, nothing more, nothing less. Because that's such a difficult thing to ask for in this day & age.
Bought a Polaroid Now a few days ago, have ZERO experience with instant photos or photography in general, so let me tell you you saved me XD. I love your channel
I'm just getting back into film photography after over a decade of shooting digital. I'm not really sure what I was expecting for a Polaroid review but you rocked it. Way more information than I was expecting
Found your channel while randomly looking for polaroid related contente on youtube, got to say, watched a couple of videos already: smooth and coherent voice-over, great tips, sharp critique, and of course nice memes once is a while! Great content, glad I found your channel!
Happy New Years, man! Quick question. Since the Polaroid film has improved since your review of the OneStep+, do you think you’ll update your rating of it since the low rating was mostly due to poor film quality?
Thx 🙏 so this month I bought the one step + end the Polaroid now not to forget sx70 alpha end the sonar as well and tons of films directly from Polaroid end I’m so exited thanks to sweet Lou. 👍🏻 good work keep it up 😂
Happy New Year! Now get some rest haha. I like that this basic point and shoot includes double exposure capability. Your proposed “Polaroid Now +” sounds like the perfect instant camera.
Hey Lou. By any chance would you know how the specs of this camera compare to a 16 year-old Polaroid One (the folding grey one that takes 600 film)? I know the Now takes 600 or iType film... but do you think the modern day auto focus is improved? Is the lens on the old one any better? Thanks. Great channel.
Just bought this camera off Amazon. I like the instant vibe with it. I do have a Canon 90D mind you. The idea of candid moments is the best for this camera. That and sharing and gifting photos is what I want to have with this. Like with a DSLR you have more time and expectations for good pictures. With a polaroid you just are in the moment enjoying it. Like enjoy the moment with your people.
I’ve always loved instant cameras, I have a Fujifilm instax mini 90, polaroid one step 2, and one step 600 vintage. Fujifilm has been doing the double exposure for years now. IMHO I prefer the Fujifilm, the colors are beautiful and detailed photos every time. I guess this is an upgrade for Polaroid but it’s way overdue. Just sucks I’d have to buy a new camera to get better use of my film.
I’ve been debating between this camera and the instax sq6. I already have instax mini neo 90 and instax wide. Sometimes I don’t like how instax film has darker contrasts. The film from Polaroid coming from instax is almost like a breath of fresh air. I think I may go with this model 😀
Hey, Lou! I love your videos and have helped me a lot! At the moment I'm using a Polaroid 635 Supercolor and I was wondering if I would have a more reliable camera with the Polaroid Now! What is your thought on this one? (Not considering the looks and also cheaper film)
With the exposure compensation, do I put the bar to the bottom in darker settings so it makes the photos lighter and raise it when I’m in lighter settings to make them darker? I’m new to it all and some of my photos have been super dark even when it’s light out and the flash is on. Thanks
Good review, I'm looking at buying an unused one locally now. I have a vintage SLR from the 80's (two Minnolta's, one works, the other doesn't) and a DSLR (Canon Rebel T3) already. Looking for this to use to just take easy pictures to use to give to friends and family.
We had one of these given as a gift, we took our first photo, and it came out all grey and dark (even in our living room with lights on, also should it really take so long to develop, I can't remember the original older ones taking so long
Mad jelly at the black frames I love that u worked with it for 9 months to know a camera. I’ll stay with a camera for about 3 months before I’m like eh I’m over this. I use a Job Pro 2 As soon as u said double exposure...buying one tomorrow.... Omg dude what the fuck these are way to fire. The tripod joke 🤣🤣🤣 Those 6pm pics going crazy Press X to doubt that one 💀🤣
I got the Polaroid Now a few weeks ago and have been having a fair bit of focus issues including the camera telling me I was too close to an object when I was 20+ feet away. Wondering if you or anyone else has had this issue or I got a lemon 🤨
I haven't had that experience, sorry about that. There are tons of people in my channel's discord who are polaroid users. If you join up, you can ask them, they might be able to help if they've had the same issue. The only thing that pops into my head is the lighting- if it's too dark, it's possible the camera won't be able to focus properly.
I haven't tested it myself but if I recall correctly the SX70 tripod mount works on this camera too (I want to say the channel Aim Shoot Develop posted that?? Can't remember though)
Nope *you* don't remove the dark slide. That will expose the film if you were to take it out in daylight. Once you load the film into the camera, it will eject the dark slide. But because the film is safely inside the camera it won't expose the frame. Hope that clarifies
@@SweetLouPhotography thanks! Keep up the great content! Final question should my first purchase of an instant camera be the Polaroid Now or Polaroid OneStep+? My goal is take normal vintage looking pictures nothing major and I can adopts to purchase both. I did watch your vids on all 3, still stuck between the two camera.
I wasted my first pack of 600 film (£20) on the camera getting jammed and spaffing out 3 slides of film at the same time and the developer liquid exploded all over the place it was grim. I don't want another instax as I hate the film, so I should probably just buy a modern Polaroid and see if they're any better. Maybe second hand 30 year old polaroid's are probably not worth it Afterall
Was looking to find a Polaroid to get some old school feeing photos of shows and promotional stuff for my own band. Then I spotted that Born of Osiris hoodie. Keep on 000-0-00-00000-0-0-0 my friend. P.S. The Discovery > Anything they’ve released
First off, send me your music!! I'd love to hear, especially if you're into BoO. Also Idk!!! I love Discovery, but man the Eternal Rain does things to me.

NOW that's what I call Instant Photography!
Sweet - camera, of all things need long-term usage reviews I think. Polaroid Go came out a day or so ago. Maybe a review next year?
Just bought this camera off Amazon.
I like the instant vibe with it. I do have a Canon 90D mind you. The idea of candid moments is the best for this camera. That and sharing and gifting photos is what I want to have with this.

I’ve been debating between this camera and the instax sq6. I already have instax mini neo 90 and instax wide. Sometimes I don’t like how instax film has darker contrasts. The film from Polaroid coming from instax is almost like a breath of fresh air. I think I may go with this model 😀
yes same ! i'm deciding between these 2 model but could you explain to me why you wouldn't choose the sq6 ?
Great content!
can you PLEASE make a soundtrack or a spotify playlist and share it, I love the music you use in your vids
He really does but maybe he has someone who does the music for him.
this is the song for this video
Great video!
Amazing to know that he nailed that prediction of the Now Plus model, just saying...
not gonna lie, i was pretty happy about that haha
Hey, Lou! I love your videos and have helped me a lot! At the moment I'm using a Polaroid 635 Supercolor and I was wondering if I would have a more reliable camera with the Polaroid Now! What is your thought on this one? (Not considering the looks and also cheaper film)
btw wishing an awesome year all the way from Lisbon!! I think I've spotted a Super Bock beer somewhere in your vids :)
Happy New Year! I wish everyone here a good 2021 and a mild or nonexistent hang over :]
Happy new year to you too!!
With the exposure compensation, do I put the bar to the bottom in darker settings so it makes the photos lighter and raise it when I’m in lighter settings to make them darker? I’m new to it all and some of my photos have been super dark even when it’s light out and the flash is on. Thanks
How do you upload your photos ?? To make them digital , like when your show your examples
Holy shit dude you were totally right about the Polaroid now+ 😂
Good review, I'm looking at buying an unused one locally now. I have a vintage SLR from the 80's (two Minnolta's, one works, the other doesn't) and a DSLR (Canon Rebel T3) already. Looking for this to use to just take easy pictures to use to give to friends and family.
sick shiori exp pfp man love that manga long live Jimi!
Polaroids aside, I still think about both Hereditary, and Midsommar. Great modern horror flicks. Weird AF, but in a good way.
YESSSSS. I really loved both of them. Ari Aster is pretty rad, excited to see what he does next
Can you still scan the pictures on your phone? Or you need to have the bluetooth option in order to scan the pictures?
POG IM IN THIS VIDEO
THE WAY YOU PREDICTED THE PLUS
plot twist i'm from the future
Thumbs up for the intro
I have this camera and the poloroid 600 film but my photos look yellow tinted for some reason, could that be my camera or the film?
That screaming patrick sound bite on Holly got me good 🤣🤣🤣
What?! You know Maleficent, JEALOUS!
can i please ask how do you scan those polaroid pictures?
We had one of these given as a gift, we took our first photo, and it came out all grey and dark (even in our living room with lights on, also should it really take so long to develop, I can't remember the original older ones taking so long

As soon as u said double exposure...buying one tomorrow....
Omg dude what the fuck these are way to fire.
The tripod joke 🤣🤣🤣
Those 6pm pics going crazy
Press X to doubt that one 💀🤣
how long is the self-timer? great review!
It's 9 seconds.
hej! Thank you for this video
I can’t figure out how to get the picture to actually show up.
Of course you don't want it to be, but this is a really good review!
Thank you
I love the hilarious reference to LA Noire

Amazing review Sir! I’ll give you all the 10 OwenWilson Thumbs Up 👍 for it! 🤔🤪👍😎😜
I want one, but is there a special tripod I can get that will actually work for it??
I haven't tested it myself but if I recall correctly the SX70 tripod mount works on this camera too (I want to say the channel Aim Shoot Develop posted that?? Can't remember though)
11:05 so do you remove the dark film or not? I put the film in the camera and leave the dark film or do I take it off like you did in the vid?
Nope *you* don't remove the dark slide. That will expose the film if you were to take it out in daylight. Once you load the film into the camera, it will eject the dark slide. But because the film is safely inside the camera it won't expose the frame. Hope that clarifies

Hi, are the colored lenses filters working on this new NOW, please?
I've never used them, sorry -- if I do, I'll make a vid
@@SweetLouPhotography cheers mate!

There’s a Polaroid go now that takes a new mini film
Nice
lmfao i keep giggling at your videos! thanks for being so informative :D
2021 videos in 2021!
tee hee, NO
I'm disappointed with the film available these days. The older film in the 90s was sharp, nowadays film is fuzzy
So first 12 seconds in and I can already tell this guy is also a blink fan. lmao
You should not skip getting drunk on your birthday for work by yourself
