Our take on the Polaroid Go Generation 3 Instant Camera

The Polaroid Go Generation 3 is the smallest analog instant camera Polaroid makes, built around the tiny Go-format square film. It adds autofocus, a selfie mirror and a timer, so it is easier to shoot one-handed than the fixed-focus originals. Image quality is soft and contrasty in the classic Polaroid way, and the small prints suit wallets and scrapbooks rather than walls. It suits casual shooters and gift buyers who want a pocketable instant camera; rivals like the Instax Mini 12 are cheaper to feed and sharper, but the Go is the more compact and distinctive object.

Questions and answers

Is the Polaroid Go Generation 3 worth it over the Instax Mini 12?
Pick the Go if pocket size and the Polaroid look matter most. The Instax Mini 12 is sharper, has cheaper and easier-to-find film, and is simpler to use. The Go wins on portability and character.
What film does it use?
It takes Polaroid Go film only, in the small square format. Full-size Polaroid i-Type and 600 film will not fit.
Does it have autofocus?
Yes. The Generation 3 adds autofocus, which helps most with close subjects. Very low light can still hunt before the flash fires.
How is it different from the earlier Polaroid Go?
The Generation 3 adds autofocus and keeps the selfie mirror, timer and flash in the same small body. It is the easier of the Go models to get sharp shots from.
Is the battery rechargeable?
Yes, a rechargeable battery is built in and charged over USB-C. You do not need to buy disposable batteries.
What comes in the box?
The camera, a USB-C charging cable and a starter pack of Go film. Check the pack size, since film is the main running cost.
