A few years ago, a friend of mine named Amy showed me this tiny little instant camera she had just purchased.
It was the Fuji Instax – and she had purchased it from a Japanese seller on ebay.
On her urging, I bought one too. However, after using it once I was dismayed to discover that what I saw through the shutter was not what the camera captured when I clicked. It was like three feet OFF. And I could never figure out the right configuration of me moving a little extra to the left to get the thing all the way on the right that I wanted to get – so I put it back in the box and left it on my shelf for two years. I got a lemon.
Then this year happened. And they were now being sold here in the USA, not just Japan. Suddenly these little cameras were popping up everywhere on photography blogs. And I was like, “Man, I will have to try one of these new ones out.” And I was all set to buy a new one, when Jennifer over at Photojojo emailed me and offered to send me one to review.
Um, yes please?
That was easy.
And then she asked me if I thought my blog readers would want to try one out. And do you know what I said?
Um, yes please!
I received mine just in time to use with the kids in San Francisco, and am happy to report that the issue I had with my first was not duplicated in the new models. Also, the new model is a bit smaller, and easier to hold and maneuver. I carried my big camera around, and Nathan and Anna carried the Fuji Instax. We took turns using it.
A mix of our favorites, taken by me, Nate, or Anna.
This camera would make a great gift for a child. This camera would make a great gift for yourself. :)

I just recently discovered Photojojo and I LOVE them too!!! I’d like to try out a camera like this!
I’ve been taking a picture everyday and trying to decide if I’m going to do it next year. It would be fun twist with this camera. Thanks for the chance to win one.
looks very cool!!
Oh this looks way too fun…I think I need one. fingers crossed!!
This would be a perfect way to share photos on my blog!
Awesome! I’ve been wanting a smaller camera, so I can keep one with me all the time. It seems like this would work perfectly!
oohh! I’ve totally been wanting to get one of these for my daughter! (and for me to ‘borrow’) ;) pick me, pick me!
looks awesome! thanks for sharing.. i was just thinking i’d like to shop for an old polaroid camera for some instant gratification, but I might need to check this one out!
How fun is this little camera! My 6 year old would LOVE it and so would I! I hope Santa comes a little bit early for us! ;)
that camera is *darling*
Oh my gosh, I think I’m in love! As much as I adore my digital SLR, I know this one would rank right up there with it. I remember the old polaroid cameras and the wonderful instant satisfaction. This looks to have all that in a totally cute package.
I LOVE these little things!!! I know my son would love it too! ;) Oh PLEASE Santa.. I’ve been good!!
My little lady would love to get her mitts on one of those sweet cameras!! Very generous!!
suh-weet!! that looks like SO MUCH FUN.
I have the Instax 200 and LOVE it, but I really wanna get one of the mini’s as well…I have always loved photography, but the Instax brings a new kinda fun to the whole thing and highly suggest everyone to just play
Super fun camera- would love one to bring on family trips! Please, oh please, for Christmas please!!!
i would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this. . .especially tomorrow. . .my anniversary! fun fun!
Love it! Count me in!
Got my cool camera/seat belt strap from them via your blog! Since then I have been a huge fan of Photojojo…
insta-happiness is what i say!
Oh yeah! Winning one would be divine; and I have little hands that would die to give it a try!
This camera looks lovely! I would love to try it out!
What a cool camera!
I have, admittedly, been coveting one of those for quite awhile now. I mean, I know that sort of behavior isn’t looked highly upon this time of year, but hopefully Santa will look the other way and refrain from putting me on the naughty list! I’d love to win!!! Thanks T & Photojojo!
