A Fuji Instax 210, it’s old, big and ugly. The battery compartment broke so I have a bunch of electrical tape on it 🙈 Here’s the Amazon US link.
I have this Fuiji Instax camera. It works awesome. And you can buy film for it via amazon. Its not as awesome as the good old Polaroid 600 type, but it is a great equivalent, although a bit big. But has a nice set of features.
That is like how much the Instax Wide 300 is, I would not pay for it. Especially used, you can pay 2 dollars more for the same camera with film on amazon brand new.

If you're price conscious on film I would shy away from any of the 600 series cameras. $25-30 for 8 shots? Not worth it if you want to actively shoot with it.
If you don't like the mini form factor, you could also consider an instax wide. the pros are the film is cheap, it's wider than the OG square polaroid film which some people like too. (cheaper than the instax mini film even) but the cons are the camera itself is HUGE.
I personally have the mini 25, and have been enjoying using it more as an out with friends, or throw it in my bag camera. For more artistic stuff I use a Polaroid Land and FP100c film (8.99 for 10 shots) If you can go that route I would do that for cost. The cons of pack film is you can't just throw it in your pocket after you peel it, you have to wait for it to dry first.
The Impossible Project stuff is nice, but the film is extremely expensive. I would recommend going with a Fujifilm Instax Wide. The camera itself is pretty cheap...roughly $50.

If you buy the film, you can get 40 sheets for roughly $30.

If you want the film to be a little cheaper, you can buy an Instax mini, but I think the bigger prints are worth the little bit of extra money they cost.
Fuji Instax 210 Instant Camera - Digital photos tend to get lost but not real physical polaroid-like photos. I love this camera and look at the pictures every day.
iPhone 4 - I want to change to android but not until this phone has completely broken down. Right now it is a calendar, to-do-list, messenger, alarm-clock, music player and - of course - phone all in one.
Notebook - My diary. It helps me clarify and remember things.
I have the instax mini.
Over time it's the cost of film that really matters, the cost of the camera will be negligible once you've taken 100 shots. Fujifilm Instax are the cheapest for film. It doesn't matter how much nicer the camera looks if you can't afford the film to use it! If you want the bigger film size you can always get the instax wide though that means the camera is bigger and less convenient to carry around (though so is the polaroid).
Do take into consideration the size of the camera itself. If you have to carry an extra bag around for it you're less likely to have it on you when you see something you want to shoot. The instax mini fits in my handbag, the other two would not. Google for pictures of people using them to get an idea of the size.
As for the smaller film, I considered that too but the truth is I'm never looking at my pictures from across the room anyway - they're in my hand when I look at them. Credit card size is plenty for that.
In conclusion i think the instax wide is a good compromise if the film size is important to you. The films for it are about US$16 for 20 (as opposed to US$50 for 16 for the polaroid) and they're comparable in size. Here's a comparison of the polaroid, instax mini and instax wide films.
BTW you could always get a groovy case to make it prettier.
I was excited when the impossible project was announced a couple years ago, but as I've said before, the price and quality of the film isn't for me.
A realistic alternative is buying an instax camera and using instax film.

Right now I'm really diggin' this camerea I think it could be a lot of fun.
