just go find a used Polaroid and shove some film in it. no need to spend money on a camera someone will probably give you for nearly free. That said, the instax wide is a better value. unless you really want the brand and square photos.

I'm looking a the Polaroid Go 2, primarily because it's the smallest of the bunch. And on sale for $60.

I'd love an Instax wide or square, but the camera bodies are just too bulky (at least as big as my rangefinders or micro-4/3+prime). Same for vintage Polaroids, plus the need to use the older battery-included (and more expensive) film packs.

And I'm aware of the limitations inherent in the current Polaroid chemistry and small size. It's a toy and I'm ok with that.
