Deciding between Polaroid Now (Gen 3) or Polaroid Go (Gen 2)
I’m a professional videographer so I know my way around a camera, but I’ve never actually shot on film. For Christmas, I got the LEGO Polaroid camera and my daughter (now nearly 5) loved using it to ”take photos”, almost as much as she enjoys taking actual pictures on my Sony DSLR - where she’d usually hold the shutter down to take multiples. She got used to the single shot aspect quickly.
We’re heading to the south of France later this month and I thought this would be an ideal time to get a Polaroid and try some actual film, in an aesthetic I’ve always appreciated.
However, I’m struggling to decide between the Go and Now.
- Go could be great as it’s such a cute size, with more shots per refill, and cheaper to run… but are they too small?
- Now could be great as it’s basically 1:1 to the LEGO set, full sized prints, better functionality (light and focus)… but is it too chunky to realistically travel with?
I’ve searched a lot on this sub but it seems a lot of the Go discourse is surrounding the Gen 1 release, so figured I’d ask again! Does anyone have both and have recommendations? Does anyone have experience in sharing the activity with their kids? Thank you!
