Lomo’Instant Wide

Okay, the first of the best Instant camera models also bears the title of the most expensive gadget on this list! However, that’s not without its reason. Lomo’Instant Wide surely has its name well-deserved since the camera is pretty sizeable and cannot be considered the most convenient Instant device out there. However, what it lacks in compactness, it compensates for with impressive hardware. Lomo’Instant Wide is real craftsman’s work, and due to its fully programmatic shutter, it will automatically determine the necessary light levels. Essentially, your photos will always be perfectly exposed! The camera also contains interchangeable colour gels and a lens cap that serves as a shutter remote control. This is truly a beast of an Instant camera with numerous interesting features, and it also comes in a variety of beautiful colours!

Polaroid 600 type

Every person with a slight interest in Instant cameras has heard something about the Impossible Project at some point in their lives. First off, the guys involved in it pretty much saved the whole Polaroid industry in 2008, and they did so by basically rebuilding the whole thing from scratch. The relatively high price is there mainly for the novelty value. However, the camera does have some great chops! A simple, point and shoot variation, Type 600 is perfect for beginners who still want to check out the sensation of snapping with the most popular Instant device ever made. Being just as much a design feat as an operable camera, it allows the user to adjust the darkness or lightness of the shot and to set the focus length. Thankfully, these days it comes together with a protective film layer, thus your Polaroids won’t be damaged by the light anymore.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 90

This one is a hugely popular Instant camera model with an appearance that perfectly mixes the sophisticated and the toy-like. Although it’s mainly plastic, the device feels sturdy and well-crafted. The main reason behind its tremendous popularity? Pictures taken with it simply look great, like there’s a universal filter that adjusts itself to get the best out of a particular scene. Also, the use of the device is not much more complex than that of a smartphone camera. While the film coming with it has a pretty light-sensitive ISO of 800 and the lens has a fixed f/12.7 aperture, the built-in flash somehow is able to provide a natural aesthetic that’s in most cases better than what you get from most of the middle-of-the-road compact digital cameras. The colours, albeit not photographically accurate, look marvelous, providing every photo moment with the vintage charm you might have already expected. The only real downside? Photos coming out, despite being beautifully formatted, are really tiny. Like credit card tiny.
