I'm thinking of getting a polaroid camera. Where can I get the best bargain? At the moment I'm thinking of getting a Fujifilm Instax Mini 7S. My budget is arounds $60-70
Thanks

Gday,
Whatever you do don't get Polaroid pogo printer they are crap. I had the instax mini 50s and it took some pretty good photos. It was nice and fairly small to lug around if you want to but the problem is the credit card size photo thing gets old real quick. It's nice for a while but the pictures are just way to small.
I would opt for the Instax 210 or another model. I'm not current on what the new models are but definitely the wider option is the way to go. It's friggin huge but you wont regret being able to take bigger pictures.
I have a Dell Wasabi printer (Zink like the Polaroid Pogo) and they are pretty dodgy and small sized images, not to mention that the images fade quickly.
I had a Mini 7S and now have a Wide 210….the Mini 7S (aka Polaroid 300) is not worth the trouble, but the Wide 210 produces a nice size image but is pretty bulky.
With your budget you really are looking at a Mini 7S on special (have a look at eBay for specials and packages)
Agree, I have the 210 as well and it's a good size photo. Haven't used it in a couple years though, I need to bust it out again.
damn hipsters..
Get the Instax Mini 8s - the newer version of the 7S which is slightly slimmer and smaller.
I don't think you'll find any new ones for $60-70. JB Hifi recently had a promo with a slightly discounted camera and 50% off (or was it free?) pack of film but I think that is now expired.
Maybe try Gumtree if you want a cheap one?
