Nothing says fun quite like an instant camera. Creating great prints in less than two minutes, they bring the kind of immediate joy and gratification that digital photos can’t deliver. Perfect for those yearning to get more creative with their photography, as well as anyone wanting to take instant snaps of memorable moments or social events, these cameras are seeing a rise in popularity right now. Fujifilm says it sold five million of its Instax instant film cameras last year, proving that even with the dominance of the smartphone, you can’t beat having a print in your hand.
The Instax Square SQ6, with its unique retro aesthetics, jolly features and colour range, is being heralded as one of the best new instant film cameras out there, and will particularly appeal to fashion-conscious snappers and selfie fans.
With simplicity in mind, the SQ6 offers a fixed lens, just a few shooting modes, and not a whole lot else. It retails for a reasonable £124.99, while ten-packs of film can be picked up for about £9 each.
