Your memories instantly with fujifilm instax cameras

Those of us who already have a few springs behind us, still remember those Polaroid instant cameras that did something that seemed like magic to us: providing us with printed photographs that we had just taken, after a characteristic “flapping in the wind” of photographic paper. Fortunately, Fujifilm Instax series cameras offer us a similar experience in the middle of the digital era.

Fujifilm Instax, instant photography in the middle of the digital era

With the proliferation of camera phones, cloud storage, and generally everything “digital”, we've become a bit of a photographer. Almost every day we get a good handful of photos, however, in most cases our snapshots are forgotten, accumulated in the memory of the phone, on a hard drive, in Google Photos or in the cloud service on duty. To a large extent, we have lost the magic of printed photography, however, Fujifilm Instax cameras give us back that experience, the touch and the aroma of Polaroid snapshots from decades ago, but in the XXI century.

For many it is just one more contribution to "retro fashion" or "vintage fashion", however, Fujifilm's commitment to this type of camera is the answer to the longing of a generation that has grown straddling the era analog and the full digital transformation.

Instax Mini camera models

Thus, the prestigious photography firm Fujifilm offers us a good handful of instant cameras that combine an emotional flavor of the past with characteristics and fashions as current as selfies.

Currently, the Fujufilm Instax series of instant cameras consists of:

• Instax Mini 8 , with a sinuous, compact design and available in five different colors to provide “instant fun every day of your life”.

  

  Instax Mini 9 , also available in five colors (Cobalt Blue, Flamingo Pink, Smoky White, Ice Blue and Lime Green), and equipped with a Selfie function. Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic , a very retro looking instant camera, perfect for those who have more morriña, but that offers advanced features such as double exposure and long exposure, macro mode, high-performance flash… For the smallest of the house, The Instax Mini Hello Kitty limited edition comes with fun accessories. Instax Square SQ10 , the first “hybrid instant camera” thanks to which you can combine the best of photographic printing with the controls and composition of a digital camera. Especially focused on the composition of portraits. Instax Wide 300 , an instant camera designed to capture the best moments of your life and the world in panoramic format.

And so we come to one of the most successful and praised Fujifilm Instax Mini camera models, the Instax Mini 70

The Fujifilm Instax Mini 70 camera is compact in size and uses 62 x 46mm cartridges and ten prints. After taking the photo, you start to "see it coming" in thirty seconds, and in just a couple of minutes in total you will have it printed on your hand.

It has six shooting modes, including the self-timer, landscape mode, macro, or the selfie shooter. Selecting any of them is as simple as pressing the menu button and you will jump from one to the other.
