Polaroid Flip

Polaroid's most capable point-and-shoot: a flip-up flash lid, sonar autofocus that picks one of four focus zones, and an over/under-exposure warning in the finder. It shoots full-size i-Type and 600 film, charges over USB and can be driven from the Polaroid app. Big, chunky prints with less guesswork than the Now.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
