37 thoughts on “Polaroid Flip In-Depth Review – Worth it??”

  1. Is it really full manual exposure? Only certain shutter speeds are available to certain apertures. I brought it back to the store immediately because of that. It's aperture or shutter priority modes, at best, and considering the exposure latitude of the film, that sucks. Don't know if that's a feature or a bug on my particular camera.

  2. "Program" is a weird term, but it's not from nowhere. A LOT of cameras have this so I'm surprised you didn't know, but it's automatic exposure via shutter speed and priority.

    Digital cameras offer more features under "Auto", but program is strictly for those two settings. Come from film cameras that introduced Program like the aptly named Canon AE-1 Program

  3. Hey Chris,
    I'm new on your channel, but I just love your content!

    I'm in the process of buying my first Polaroid.
    I was actually thinking of buying the Now+ gen 3, but then I saw the Flip.

    However, is the viewfinder too difficult and irritating to shoot with, that I should just get the Now+ gen 3?

  4. Your videos aren’t bad but what is up with these thumbnails my dude, it’s like you’re trying to appeal to 7 year old kids, but i don’t think there’s that many little kids watching videos on old analog cameras

    It’s slightly strange

  5. I'm glad you're not overhyping this camera like the other reviewers. It has so many flaws. The light meter in the manual mode is like "maybe it's correct, take a shot and see", at least with the latest firmware. I just went through my first pack, and I've been disappointed by it to say the least. I shouldn't have to go through multiple packs just to realize how "off" the light meter is in manual mode. Especially if it changes after the next firmware update. And the viewfinder is a small, but annoying issue as well, especially if you want to set the camera for a timed shot.

  6. I’m from Canada and I really want to get the camera, but it’s $320 Canadian or $233.60 USD for the starter kit, which is the flip and a pack of film. Also, a pack of film by itself is around $30 CAD or $21.91 USD.

  7. I’m very interested in the comparison between flip and now❤ because both cameras are modern and it raises a question: should I upgrade from now to flip
    Thank you, Chris

  8. Some how YouTube unsubscribed me from your channel so just catching this video now. Nice work! Got one for myself and been enjoying! Time to go catch up on your other vids now.

  9. Did you use 600 or i‑Type film in your video? Is there any difference between them? I know they’re both ISO 600, but I thought it might be worth asking. I love your channel!

  10. It would be nice if you’d actually compare it to one of the cheaper ones. This is a bunk review not even testing out exposure compensation or different environments. And the photos that missed focus also are composed with a shit ton of grass in the lower 2/3s so I’d assume the camera thinks the ground is the subject.

  11. Sonar autofocus doesn't depend on lighting conditions to focus. If it misses, it's because you are too far or too close, or there are other things in view that are not the subject that are confusing the sensor.

  12. I have a Polaroid Now Plus and all my photos look pretty crappy. I used to have a Polaroid camera in the 80s and those photos were top notch – maybe I am just spoiled

  13. Oh yeah btw. I just noticed this watching the video again at 8:09. You should really really do the Firmware update for the Flip. It re calibrates a view things making the camera apparently way more reliable

  14. I got the Flip recently. I've had very good results outside in sun and shade. Focus is good 9 times out of 10. Exposure inside hasn't been great but I havent messed with the app. Indoor exposure been consistently dark. The viewfinder is the only issue for me, but you get used to it. Overall it's WAY better than my Now+ gen 1. I've had mostly bad photos with my Now+.

  15. The only possible use for program mode would be to get a feel for what settings the camera would use, so you could use that as a point of reference for when you switch to manual mode

  16. I LOVE the Flip! I just started getting into Instant Photography a few months ago, watched videos after videos..Instax Wide Evo and Polaroid Flip are my favs so far. I had the SQ40 but once I saw the Flip coming out, I returned it lol…There is a bit of a learning curve with the Flip, albeit small, there is a learning curve

  17. I actually really like that last truck through the fence picture you took. We’ll have to take the Flip out on a nice day and do some direct comparisons with the Impulse or 660

  18. Thank you so much for this review! I got to shoot the flip in sunny and warm conditions, and I promise you will get better results when in proper conditions! Love your channel

  19. Nice review, Chris! Now, who was it that first pointed out that you can turn the flash off for multiple shots? 😁 Meee 🤣
    I don’t think you mentioned the self-timer in this review. My guess is the semi-auto mode lets you choose the focusing lens, does it? Looking forward to your comparison of the Flip to the 660! 😃

  20. I had much better results with the Flip with reclaimed green than the one step plus, also double exposures seemed a bit more consistent … I still think the regular 600/itype film is a bit wonky
