Wish I could see the photo difference on half of these but the glare is absolutely awful

[@johnluke5478]

True, true.

I love your photos, ladies! well done on your first experience. I like both cameras, because the format is slightly different, the end result is different, the user experience is different. I've become something of an expert over the years. As a general rule of thumb, it's better to leave the flash on when using Polaroid because it's notorious for performing badly in low light. I wouldn't use it unless the weather's very sunny. The Instax does very well indoors. I got totally hooked, and it looks like you just have caught the bug too :) Well done and great video!

[@AmateurPhotographerTV]

Thank you for watching the video!

I've got several versions of the Polaroid (Now, Now +, a 600 from the 1980s), and SX-70 camera, a Spectra, a Lomography Wide, an Instax SQ6. I don't have anything on mini format.

[@AmateurPhotographerTV]

That's quite a collection! What's your favourite one?

[@Nanou197373]

@@AmateurPhotographerTV the SX 70 wins! but I love using the Fuji SQ6 and the Lomography Wide as well (this one takes a bit of getting used to)

[@zandilemaphosa4445]

Lovely. We'll done ladies.

[@AmateurPhotographerTV]

Thank you for watching!

Have y’all checked out any of the lomography cameras?

[@kf2572]

Clearly neither one of these AP students read the instructions! Both seem like nice air heads though.
