How to Choose the Best Instant Camera (2025 guide)

How to Choose the Best Instant Camera (2025 guide) Instant cameras are popular for one simple reason: they’re fun. You can bring one to a party or event and capture a spontaneous moment, then after a couple of minutes everyone gets a physical photo with a nostalgic look.
