With instant cameras, you can record a moment in time by not only taking pictures but also sharing physical, one-of-a-kind printed pictures. The classic aesthetic and method of taking an immediately printed photograph is unique.
The resurgence of film photography has meant Fujifilm, Polaroid and other leading brands have redeveloped instant cameras and film cameras to be jam-packed with contemporary features. Think compact designs, phone connections for printing digital photographs, and hybrid cameras with quick print and digital features. It is understandable why Fujifilm has long been a market leader in instant photography with their broad selection of excellent cameras.
With a range of alternate instant camera models out there, we wanted to help you navigate the range to decide which camera is best for you.
