I test instant cameras for a living — and these are the 5 deals I'd snag this Prime Day
I test the best instant cameras here at Tom's Guide, and I've already found great deals on some of my favorites for Prime Day Deals. For instance, the Fujifilm Instax Wide Evo bundle is currently 12% off, and it includes a 32GB microSD card, a padded case and other goodies. On the other hand, if you're a Polaroid fan, the Polaroid Go Gen 2 is down to its lowest ever price of $89 and it comes with 16 pieces of film. And there's more where that came from. I'm keeping a close eye on deals on instant cameras and will be updating this article when more appear. For now, here are the 5 best deals I'd snap up this Prime Day. The Fujifilm Instax mini 41 is a fantastic instant camera for beginners. In my Instax mini 41 review, I praised it for its straightforward control scheme, sleek and premium design, long battery life and its ability to capture (and print) stunning images with plenty of detail. If you're looking to step into the world of instant photography, I'd snap this deal up right now. The Polaroid Now Gen 2 is a lovely instant camera, especially if you're fan of the retro aesthetic. It looks great and captures equally amazing photos. This camera features autofocus, a self timer and a mode for double exposures. The Polaroid Now+ has been succeeded by two other cameras, but if you don't want to pay full price for the newer models, I'd highly recommend this deal. It comes with a filter set for you to add a tinge of color, and you can even control the exposure manually (which many other instant cameras lack). The Fujifilm Instax Wide Evo is unlike the others on this list as it's a hybrid instant camera, so you can click and print photos instantly but you can also print photos directly from your smartphone, increasing its versatility. In my Instax Wide Evo review, I loved the bright and detailed photos this camera took, and the wide format helps you capture more of the scene. The bundle includes a 32GB microSD card, 10 pieces of Brushed Metallics film, a cleaning kit and more. The Polaroid Go Gen 2 is a cutest little camera. In my Go Gen 2 review, I said that this camera was highly portable and that it can slip into your pocket. It's also extremely easy to use and captures images with a retro aesthetic. If you want to get creative, you can capture double exposures too, and there's a self-timer for group shots so you never have to feel excluded. For more savings, check out our Amazon Prime Day live blog for the best deals as we find them. Whether you're after kitchen gadgets, TV discounts or new audio gear, there's something for everyone at a lower price!

Our favorite instant camera just got a massive Prime Day discount — and I'm obsessed
We're tracking the best Amazon Prime Day deals, including everything from barbecues to laptops. However, I've got my eye on something different — instant cameras. I've always wanted to be that girl with hundreds of printed photos for scrapbooks and memories, and at this price, I could just start now. There are loads of different types of cameras, so it can be hard to find the best cheap camera out there. Fortunately, we've got a team of reviewers always testing and reviewing cameras so you don't have to. Our reviewer Nikita awarded the Polaroid Go Gen 2 an impressive 4.5-star rating. Polaroid is renowned for its iconic point, shoot, and print cameras, and the Go Gen 2 is no different. Right now, it's crashed to its lowest-ever price for Prime Day, so you should grab it now. Yes, it may only be a discount of $10, but this is the lowest ever price, so it's a rare saving. This deal also includes 2 packs of film, so you're technically getting that for free! This deal is for the white version pictured, but we tested the blue version for the review. Even so, they work the same, they just look different. While this isn't the Go Gen 2's lowest ever price in the U.K. (that's £54!), this is still an awesome £20 saving. This deal doesn't include film, though — if you want film too, it's £84 down from £109 at Amazon. The Go Gen 2 is the perfect first instant camera. It's ideal for beginners because it's so easy to use — simply install the film and get snapping. The photos take around 15 minutes to fully develop (depending on exposure levels), so you'll be able to see your creations in no time. The film works out at around $1.12 per shot, which is pricier than a Kodak, but Polaroid film is generally pricier than Kodak film. Just take a look at some of the beautiful images our reviewer Nikita snapped with the Polaroid Go Gen 2. I'll let these photos speak for themselves. Even the "failed" images (top right on image 2) look artistic and purposeful. That's what I love about instant cameras: they make everything look stylish and aesthetic. In her review, Nikita wrote, "I adored using the Go Gen 2 out and about on the streets of Bath — one of the U.K.'s most picturesque cities — and to photograph my friends." She also said that the Go Gen 2 performs best in overcast weather, and the flash only works with subjects up to 6.5 feet away. However, even low light images performed better than the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8.
