Smartphone cameras are convenient, but they lack the charm of analog instant cameras. If you’re trying to relive the nostalgia of waiting for an instant photo to develop, Amazon is selling the second-generation Polaroid Go instant camera with a 16-photo film pack for $71.99 (usually $109.99).

Polaroid’s tiny instant camera is $72 and includes a free pack of film

The Polaroid Go 2 instant camera, priced at $71.99 on Amazon, offers a nostalgic analog photography experience for around $72. This compact device is perfect for road trips and adventures, thanks to its smaller film size of 53.9mm x 66.6mm, which is ideal for displaying on a bulletin board or carrying in a wallet. Equipped with a USB-C port, the camera can be charged and can run for up to 15 rolls of film on a single battery charge.

The price of the bundle, which includes a 16-photo film pack typically sold for $21.99, is $4 cheaper than purchasing the camera alone.
