Sorry for double posting but I want to keep the thread alive.
Here are my 5 instant cameras. The two up front are Lomography Instant Cameras and the three in the back are Polaroid 600s. I've shot with all of these cameras and they're all really cool.
For all of the people dissing the cost of instant photography, there is a more affordable and reliable option for instant film. Fujifilm is a company that was allowed to develop their own instant film when Polaroid was still making theirs. Now that Polaroid is out of the picture and the replacement company isn't exactly the same as regular Polaroid film, Fujifilm has the best clean film that you can get at a way lower price. While the cameras aren't as cheap as getting a Polaroid at a yard sale for 10 bucks, being able to get 20 shots for 15 bucks is much nicer than 25 for 8 shots with Impossible Film. Plus it develops quickly and isn't sensitive to light unlike Impossible film.
There are two sizes of Fujifilm available (and a new Square kind that should be closer to a regular Polaroid size coming out next year Spring)
I started out shooting with the smaller camera and then eventually bought a wide just to complete my collection. I personally liked shooting with the smaller film at first, but now I can't really turn back with the wide film. I do really like the mini because Fujifilm has many varieties for the borders in Japan which are cool. But the wide is really nice and people really like those more than the tiny credit card sized ones.
While these are both Lomography cameras, Fujifilm does make their own cameras and I would recommend those cameras for beginners since the Lomography cameras are ultra pricey and can be rather intimidating to use with all the settings.
TL;DR: Instant film isn't as pretenious and expensive as it really is. Look at these cute pictures of my dog and my stuffty hobby
