I’m considering buying my 8yo DD a polaroid camera for Christmas. Does anyone have any recommendations? Not quite sure what I’m looking for as never had one before!

I'm going to lurk as I love Polaroid cameras - but the last my son got (maybe 7 or 8 years ago) just didn't work like my old one did.

Instax mini 9 - my dd got one for her birthday and they are amazing! Buy lots of film packs and get something for her to use to display the pics! One of those little mini photo washing lines they clip on to or maybe a scrapbook to paste them in?

Thanks for the suggestions. The Intex one looks great and I love the accessory pack too. I think I’m sold!

My teens have had the instax for about 8 years, still going strong. It’s a sturdy little camera (film is expensive though)

I have an Instax for myself and absolutely love it! There is such a wonderful nostalgia about waiting for the image to develop, and friends are v.envious!
