Video Description

Reviewing the Polaroid Flip instant camera, which combines retro design with a bit of modern flair. Here's an unboxing and hands-on test with the Polaroid Flip, showing off the features and photo abilities. If you're yearning for that classic point and shoot action with instant pics, this'll certainly scratch that itch. The chonky design can fold up a bit more compact, although it's still a proper brick like those retro snappers. And the Polaroid Flip takes standard I-Type and 600-Type film, which is rather expensive. Add that onto the £200 asking price, and shooting with this camera isn't cheap. Still, the photos coughed out of the Polaroid Flip have that distinctive retro vibe, and can be stuck on walls or in albums. That focus is fast to act and reliable, while you also have EV controls and double exposure. Plus you've got app support, to control the Polaroid Flip camera with your phone. So what do you reckon, tempted by this retro gadget? Let us know below!
