3. Polaroid Go
The smallest camera in the Polaroid range, this is (almost) pocket- sized. It charges via a USB cable and is simple to use, with just three buttons. It has a self-timer and a reflective selfie mirror.
4. Canon Zoemini S2 Instant Camera Colour
An 8-megapixel camera and instant printer, with a mirror and ring light for selfies. Photos can be customised with filters via a smartphone app.
5. Kodak Step Instant Camera
This prints black and white, sepia or colour photos in seconds. There’s no LCD screen so you can’t edit photos, but there is a timer, flash and photobooth setting, and you can download pictures onto a memory card.
