The instant print camera market has seen a revival over the last few years, with nostalgia and a desire for physical prints seeing a flurry of new cameras hitting the market since 2013.
Our guide and comparison table looks at the size, format and cost per print of instant print film that is available in the market in 2018.
Much akin to Hoover and vacuum cleaners, the name Polaroid is synonymous with instant print cameras. The company may have had a turbulent time over recent years, but happily they live on, rebranded as 'Polaroid originals' in 2017.
*I-Type comes in the same format as 600, but is optimised for the OneStep2 camera. It doesn't have a battery in the film pack, so they won't work in old 600 cameras.

Events at Park Cameras
Throughout the year, Park Cameras hold and attend a range of events. For photographers currently stuck indoors, as opposed to our events that are traditionally held in store or on the road, we are currently working on a range of events that can be held in the comfort and safety of your own home. In these uncertain times, there’s never been a better time to get to grips with your camera, and hopefully we can help achieve this. Find out more
