Fujifilm Instax Square SQ1 review: Instant camera good only for enthusiasts
I am amazed to known that instant cameras also come in different
variants despite being a niche products. After recently reviewing the Fujifilm Instax
Mini 11 (review), I got my hands-in the
Instax Square SQ1, which is another instant camera but aimed at entirely
different audience compared to the former. Successor to the Instax Square SQ6,
the Square SQ1 is a square-shaped instant camera that is touted be a better imaging
device compared to commonly available instant cameras like the Instax mini 11.
In terms of design, the Instax SQ1 has a minimal profile and it
looks like an instant camera from all sides. It is, however, a bit large for an
instant camera and weights around 500g with the film. Its big size and heavy
weight makes it unsuitable for one hand operations but these are the only
deterrents in terms of design and the camera otherwise looks appealing.
The camera has a rotatable ring around the lens
to switch it on or to activate the selfie mode. On the top side, it has the
flash light, which is activated for use in all scenarios and there is no option
to turn it off. This leads to flash light working even in scenarios where
artificial light is not required. Therefore, it ruins the picture quality in
good light conditions.
