Instant camera deals this Black Friday
Polaroid Now+ Instant Camera
US: was $149.99 now $101.38 at Amazon
UK: was £139.99 now £107.06 at Amazon
Get this incredible Polaroid camera for 2/3 the retail price in the UK and US. Our four-star Polaroid Now+ review says this point-and-shoot instant camera "injects a whole realm of creative possibilities via its revamped app and creative filters". This deal is for the black version of the Polaroid Now+ although in the UK its roughly the same price for the blue and white versions. If you're in the US and fixed on either of those colors, it'll cost you extra.
Canon Ivy Cliq+ 2 / Canon Zoemini S
US: was $129.99 now $99.99 at Amazon
UK: was £149.99 now £129 at Amazon
Not as discounted as the Polaroid Now+ but still a great deal. Canon’s instant hybrid camera uses Zink paper to achieve a slim build, while a built-in ring flash is perfect for party portraits. The Ivy Cliq+ / Zoemini S is truly pocket-sized, beating even Fuji's Instax Mini LiPlay for portability.
Fujifilm Instax SQ40:
US: was $149,99 now $139.99 at Amazon
UK: was £139.99 now £119 at Amazon
Shoppers in the UK can enjoy the lowest price for the SQ40 that was only released this year. I our review we described it as, "old-school design meets square-format film to hit an Instax sweet spot". It's 62 x 62mm square prints are exactly the desaturated, vintage vibes you’d expect from a retro camera. It is slightly on the pricey end, but the SQ40 is a fantastic party camera that almost anyone can use.
Instax Link Wide Printer
US: was $149,95 now $98.99 at Amazon
UK: was £139.99 now £94 at Amazon
Dropping below $100 / £100, the Instax Link Wide camera is entirely controlled by a smartphone companion app, letting you edit, crop and customize your pictures before printing, and has a built-in battery that's good enough for up to 100 prints between charges. You'll need to buy paper separately.
Instax SQUARE SQ1 Instant Camera
US: was $119.99 now $107 at Amazon
UK: was £119.99 now £94 at Amazon
One model in a line of Fujifilm Instax Square instant cameras that print onto the perfectly-sized Instax Square film, the well-built and easy-to-use SQ1 is available for the cut price of £94 in the UK or $107 in the US, although the price varies depending on which color you choose. If you don't mind which color you get, it's worth checking the various versions to see which one is on the best deal.
