Editorial take
Why we picked it
We live in an age where we take 4,000 photos of a sourdough starter and never look at them again.
This Instax is the Supporting cast member that brings back the tactile joy of actually holding a physical photo without the risk of wasting expensive film on a blurry shot of your own thumb.
It's a digital camera pretending to be an analogue one, and I'm entirely here for the deception.
Detailed verdict
The full review
The Irresistible
- The film advance lever is purely there for the "clicky" dopamine hit, and honestly, it's the best part of the whole experience.
- You can choose which photos to print, meaning you no longer have to pay two quid to see a photo of your mate mid-sneeze.
The Clever Part
- It doubles as a printer for your phone, so you can finally liberate those "aesthetic" brunch shots from your camera roll.
- The lens and film dials give you 100 different combinations of "retro filters" that make even a rainy day in Slough look cinematic.
The Fine Print
- The print quality is charmingly lo-fi, which is code for "don't expect National Geographic levels of detail."
- The build is mostly plastic, despite looking like a premium vintage Leica from a distance.
The Reality Check
- You will spend more time agonising over which photo to print than you did actually taking the bloody things.
