Now Instant Camera - Gen 1, Black

Polaroid Now (Gen 1, Black) — the no-fuss instant camera for on-the-road memories

The gist: A durable, autofocus instant camera in a stealthy black finish, built to turn any leg of a trip into a physical print in seconds.

• Two-lens autofocus: automatically switches between a portrait lens (1.8–4.3 ft) and a distance lens (2 ft–infinity) so focus is one less thing to manage on the move.
• USB-rechargeable battery: the 750mAh lithium-ion battery lasts roughly 15 packs of film per charge — one less cable to pack.
• Stripped-down controls: power, shutter, flash on/off, and self-timer only, so anyone can pick it up and shoot a group photo.
• Standard i-Type film: compatible with widely available Polaroid i-Type film, easy to restock in most cities.

Digital Camera World's review found the autofocus produces sharp, compelling shots in good light — landscapes look especially good — though it's a binary in-focus/out-of-focus system rather than fine-tuned manual control.

Best for: travelers who want instant, tangible photos without carrying extra gear or learning settings. Skip it if: you frequently shoot low light or want manual exposure adjustment. Runs ~$44 — check the current price before buying.
