The Polaroid OneStep+
  1. For spontaneous snappers 
    The 1970s instant camera (US$140, Polaroid) has received a 21st-century upgrade. Try out the light painting mode and draw lines or letters over evening shots using a smartphone flashlight.
The GoPro HERO8 Black on tripod
  1. For adventurers 
    Whether you’re paddling whitewater rapids or shredding late-season powder, this waterproof cam ($530, GoPro) records smooth footage thanks to image-stabilization technology.
The Fujifilm X100V
  1. For urban explorers 
    A retro design contrasts with this compact model’s ($1,800, Fujifilm) cutting-edge technology: The 26.1-megapixel sensor and wide-angle lens render images with the character of film photography.
A Moment lens for smartphones
  1. For smartphone shooters. 
    Transform your smartphone pics with attachable lenses. Screw the wide-angle version (US$120, Moment) to the phone case to capture that desert vista, or home in on a prickly pear cactus with the tele lens (US$120, Moment).
