Is the Go Generation 2 worth it over the original Go?

Yes if you want better exposure and the recycled-material build. The size and film format are the same, so owners of the first Go gain mostly on metering and consistency.

How does it compare with the Instax Mini 12?

The Go is smaller and offers double exposure and filters. The Mini 12 uses cheaper, more widely stocked film and tends to produce sharper prints.

What film does it take?

Only Polaroid Go film, the smallest Polaroid format. Standard i-Type and 600 film will not fit.

Does it have a self-timer and selfie mirror?

Yes. Both are built in, along with a double exposure mode and support for Polaroid Go color filters.

What comes in the box?

The camera itself. Film is sold separately, so buy a pack of Polaroid Go film to start shooting.

Can I use it indoors?

Yes, the built-in flash handles low light, but keep some distance from close subjects to avoid washed-out faces.

Our take on the Polaroid Go Instant Camera Generation 2 - White

The Polaroid Go Generation 2 is the smallest instant camera Polaroid makes, built around the tiny Polaroid Go film format. It adds a wider aperture range, a more precise light sensor and improved exposure settings over the first Go, plus a selfie mirror, self-timer and double exposure mode. It suits people who want pocketable analog prints and don't mind paying per shot. Against the Instax Mini 12 it is smaller and more creative, but its film is costlier and harder to find, and image sharpness trails Fujifilm's.
