Instant Cam On-The-Go

Polaroid’s little Go adds to the instant picture taking fun

- Clarissa Tan

The Polaroid Go is the world’s smallest analogue instant digital camera at just 61.5mm high and 83.9mm wide, and as a big fan of instant cameras, I couldn’t wait to try my hands on this little snapper, as I love capturing moments on the go, making the Polaroid GO perfect for me.

Designed to be ‘pocket-sized’ and weighing only a little over 240g, the Polaroid Go is meant to be very convenient to carry around on a cord, and I wore it around my wrist with the wrist strap that was included in the box. It was very convenient for me to carry around, and I’ve left home with only the camera and my smartphone for its mobile wallet, so I didn’t have to bring a bag with me, though I had a spare pack of instant film with me in my back pocket.

Leaving home, I was not worried that the camera was going to run out of battery, as its rated to last up to 15 packs of the film before needing to be recharged via USB. Each pack of Polaroid Go film includes eight 67 x 54mm (2.6 x 2.1-inch) shots, which have a square 47 x 46mm (1.85 x 1.8-inch) image area.
