Instax Instant Print Cameras: How to Choose Your Model

Fujifilm has given film fans the opportunity to rediscover the vibrant emotions of taking film shots. The manufacturer launched a series of instant printing cameras on the market, thanks to which it is possible to display cards immediately after shooting, and some models also allow for pre-processing of frames. Many users have already liked the device for its stylish design, excellent functionality and the peculiarity of creating pictures, which you can watch live, feeling like a real photo master.

Pushing the boundaries of the line with the release of the new model, Fujifilm each time shows that it takes into account the needs of a huge audience of users. The series includes devices of several price categories, functionality, design solutions. Among the models, you can find a camera for a beginner, a young photographer, as well as for an experienced amateur, traveler blogger or incorrigible party-goer. You can evaluate a device according to several criteria:

• Functional. Someone believes that a film frame should be created entirely by the photographer taking into account lighting, composition and other factors. Some people like not to delve into the characteristics of devices and just enjoy shooting. Models such as the instant camera Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 and Instax Mini 9 include only the most necessary functions, for example, Hi-Key - to increase brightness and reduce the contrast of color highlighting. The cameras are also equipped with a selfie mirror, which allows you to take well-arranged self-portraits. And the Instax Mini 70 already contains 3 focus modes and an automatic exposure adjustment function, which allows you to take more diverse pictures with an excellent balance of color and lighting.
• Cost. Naturally, the more technical features the camera has, the higher its price. The same Instax Mini 9 is one of the most affordable cameras in the line, due to its simplified functionality and the absence of additional options in the form of photo processing, for example. While the Instax 90 model, which you can buy in the store of an authorized dealer, will already cost much more. But the merits of the device deserve it: programmable electronic shutter release, LCD screen, automatic exposure control, a large number of shooting modes, etc. We can say that the model differs from modern digital analogues only in the use of film cartridges.
• Design. Here everyone is free to fully rely on their taste. In the lineup there are devices that just beg for a child’s holiday, such as Instax Mini 8 Minion or Hello Kitty, which are made in the form of well-known cartoon characters. However, no one can forbid an adult to cheer himself and others with a camera with such an original design. There are more serious models, for example, Instax Square SQ6, the style of which is expressed even in the form of cards, or Instax Mini 90, which was already discussed and the second name of which is Neo Classic.

You can familiarize yourself with all the representatives of the Instax instant printing camera series, their characteristics, features and cost on the website of the official Fujifilm device dealer in Russia. The store features branded components and accessories, which are also available for selection in a wide variety.
