Summer-ready Polaroid sees price slashed in Amazon bargain

Polaroid Now (Gen 3) — (Image credit: Polaroid)

With the mercury starting to rise and the sun beginning to shine, there's one thing which every household needs – a Polaroid camera. Throughout the warmer months, you'll often find me with a model in hand, wandering around and capturing memories.

If you don't have one yet, fear not – Amazon currently has a killer deal on the Now+ Gen 3, which is one of the best entry-level models there is. You can pick it up for just £99 right now – saving £40!

The model in question is one of my top picks for anyone looking for their first instant camera. The classic Polaroid shape should make this nice and familiar in the hand, but that's not why it's my top recommendation.

For me, the real perk here is that is straddles the line between being feature packed and easy to use. While you can dive into the nitty gritty of exacting apertures, shutter speeds and the like – all via the accompanying app – there's no need to.

If you want it to, this camera can simply be a point and shoot option, which will be a big benefit for a lot of first time users. Having the ability to use it as both a point and shoot and as a more professional unit makes this a brilliant camera to grow into.

This particular model also comes in the Arctic Blue finish. That's a gorgeous colour, and is just made to accompany your brighter, warm-weather outfits.

The model is often quite a good value option anyway, but shaving an additional £40 from the purchase price makes this a real bargain. Simply add some Polaroid i-Type film and you're good to go!
