Our take on the Polaroid Now Gen 3.0

The Polaroid Now Gen 3.0 is a point-and-shoot instant camera that uses i-Type and 600 film and prints 8 photos per pack. Its two-lens autofocus system switches between 95 mm and 103 mm focal lengths, and it adds double-exposure and a 9-second self-timer. It charges over USB-C and the battery lasts up to 15 film packs. At $79.99 at eBay as of November 6, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, well under the $100-plus it often sells for.
