How to choose an instant camera in 2026

Instant cameras are bought on vibe, not specs, but the spec sheet still decides whether the prints come out usable. The Mars Score weights film (50%), features (30%) and design (20%). Film format is the single most important decision — it dictates print size, film cost, and creative options.

Film format determines everything

Instax mini (54×86 mm), Instax SQUARE, and Instax wide each deliver a different print aesthetic. Polaroid i-Type (Now, I-2) and the legacy 600 format have a softer, square Polaroid look. The Fujifilm Instax mini 99, Instax Wide Evo and Instax SQUARE SQ40 cover the Instax range. Filter by film_format first.

Hybrid (digital + print) vs analog

Hybrid cameras like the Instax Wide Evo and Polaroid Now+ Generation 2 let you preview shots, reprint favorites, and apply filters before committing film. Pure analog cameras print every shot — film cost adds up fast. is_hybrid is the key filter for budget-conscious shooters.

Creative features

Double exposure (has_double_exposure), multi-lens, selfie mirror, and bulb/long-exposure modes separate hobbyist cameras from point-and-shoot models. The I-2 is the most feature-dense Polaroid in years.

Per-print cost

Instax mini film runs roughly $0.70–$1.00 per print at volume; Polaroid i-Type closer to $2.00. Wide and SQUARE land in between. For light shooters that is irrelevant; for event use it compounds quickly.
