The world's smallest analog instant camera, the Polaroid Go.
How small is it? At only 4.1 x 3.3 x 2.4 inches, you won't have any trouble finding room in your backpack. It even fits in a coat pocket, because Go is designed to be wearable and looks cute too.
For those worried about what kind of photographic media to use with such a small camera, the Polaroid Go will be available with new miniature versions of Polaroid's classic square-format film.
The film produces photos that are approximately 1.8 inches square, excluding the frame. While not ideal for super-detailed photos, it might be perfect for handing out to friends at a party or picnic.
Surprisingly, given the Polaroid Go's size, there is even room for some additional features. Some of them, such as a selfie mirror and self-timer, are clearly aimed at the Go's target audience of Instagram-loving hipsters. There's also a dynamic flash, travel-friendly accessories, and even the ability to capture double-exposure images.
The Polaroid Go's size and features rival Fujifilm's Instax Square SQ6.
Choosing between the two cameras may be a trade-off for the Go's really small footprint; the Instax is larger at 5 x 4.7 x 2.3 inches, but it can also take 2.4-inch square images.
We'll know more once we try the Polaroid Go in person. In any case, the Polaroid Go is currently available for pre-sale, priced at only $99.
