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. :)
