I’ve spent hundreds of hours testing instant cameras — here are my top three picks

A compilation of photos showing the Polaroid Go Gen 2, the Fujifilm Instax mini Evo and the Instax mini 12 instant cameras.

As Staff Writer Reviews at Tom's Guide, I get to test lots of cool consumer tech, from the best mechanical keyboards to the best drones, but I'm always the most excited when I get my hands on an instant camera. These nifty gadgets require thorough testing, so I usually spend up to a week with one. Quick math: I believe I've spent over 500 hours with all the ones I've tested so far, and I've got three others on my to-do list.

But which would I recommend? If you're planning on picking one up and can't decide, don't worry — I'm here to take you through the three best instant cameras and the features that make them fantastic and worth the money.
