Fuji Instax Instant Camera

Love Polaroid cameras but weep when it comes time to buy the rapidly expiring, exorbitantly expensive film?

You might consider the Fuji Instax Instant Camera, a brand new camera that uses Fuji film still in production (huzzah!).

Because this camera produces smaller pictures (“credit card size”), the developer refers to it as “Polaroid’s little brother.”

Here are the specs, according to the developer:

• Mini prints develop instantly
• Easy-loading Fuji film cartridges still in production
• Exposure settings for cloudy/indoors/outdoors
• Built-in flash
• Runs on four AA batteries
• Wide-angle lens
• 5" x 5" x 2.5"

The camera is $90 from the Photojojo Store, or $105 with film.

It is nothing short of amazing to watch a picture develop just before your eyes. And because even the biggest photography buffs can’t hang out in a dark room all day, this is the next best thing.
