Perhaps photo dumps aren't scratching the same in-the-moment itch that they once were, or maybe your phone's storage is begging you to let it breathe.
Whatever the case, if you're in the market for a camera this Prime Day, you have a few good deals to choose from. We're not seeing the selection of instant cameras on sale that we're used to seeing on Black Friday. (They do make great gifts, so the holiday timing makes sense.) But we've pulled the ones that are worth looking at, including instant cameras, action cameras, regular mirrorless cameras, and some portable instant printers that can link up to your phone — that's basically a camera.
Be sure to check back through the end of Prime Day on July 17, as it's very possible that Fujifilm, Canon, and Polaroid will drop new camera deals. Other Prime Day categories have way more deals that you can shop right now, and we're keeping track of those, too.
Note: All newly-added deals are marked with a ✨, while anything marked with a 🔥 has dropped to an all-time low price.
The simultaneous nostalgia and modernity of having an instant camera in 2024 is just plain fun. The best one to grab during Prime Day is this bundle from Kodak, which comes with 60 extra printing sheets. This version of the Kodak Mini Shot sports a Y2K-esque film camera look and use tools like auto-focus and face detection to capture your moment in high quality. The photo will pop out in just a few seconds.
The Kodak Mini Shot 2 also doubles as a portable printer that can sync up to your phone and print physical versions of memories in your camera roll.
