1. Fujifilm Instax instant camera, €125 The Instax Square SQ6 from Fujifilm is stylish, with a perfect mix of modern and retro looks, simple to use, and produces large square images that just feel right. The camera comes with host of creative shooting modes (including automatic, selfie, macro and landscape modes) and even coloured flash filters. If you want a bit more creative control, you can choose to manually adjust exposure yourself with Lighten and Darken modes, or even create a Double Exposure to super-impose two images into one.
2. Leica instant camera, €280 The retro-modern Sofort instant camera can take monochrome or colour film, has a mirror on the front for selfies and can be personalised with an engraving. There’s no monitor to frame your shots, but you do get a basic viewfinder, and a display which tells you which mode you’re in, how many shots you’ve got left and so on. It uses the miniature Instax format. It is also available in white, yellow, black and multicoloured.
3. Fujifilm Instax Square SQ10, €180 With its rounded edge, yet boxy, appearance, the SQ10 isn’t exactly pocket friendly, but by comparison to some of the others available, it manages to appear quite sleek. It’s a hybrid digital and analogue camera, which essentially means it’s a digital camera with an inbuilt printer - this is good for a couple of reasons. Firstly, you can make sure you actually do want to print your shot before you waste your film, and it gives you a digital backup of your shot should you need it.
