Fujifilm Instax Square SQ1 Camera - Terracotta Orange

Poor quality

It's really a worthy, and niche product for those who miss olden days... The photos will be there with you forever, unlike digital ones which somehow live and die an electronic life.The camera looks really cool... My only small gripe is that the metallic part (rose gold) is not metallic at all.. In fact the whole camera is pure plastic. So be careful and buy a protective cover as soon as you can.Photo quality is as per your skill, like the olden days and unlike today's filter filled world. Use natural sunlight to get the best shots.The photo paper is costly, about 70 bucks a piece. It's cheapest on amazon. Don't bother looking anywhere else. I tried and failed.

Brilliant for anyone who’s getting into old school selective photography.

It takes a few pics to learn about the camera result by trial and error . Replacement cartridges are a bit on expensive side, lens movement is smooth. It's a fun camera , instant result.

Absolutely pathetic.As you can see from the pictures, the camera package was opened by removing the stickers from the bottom. The seal saying "Do not accept if the seal is broken" is still intact but the seller Appario retail opened the box from the bottom by removing the hologram there. You can see the outline where the sticker was placed in picture 2. The sticker on the front of the box was also removed. Im not sure if I have got an original product.

Why is the flashlight of my camera still flashes one even after the flashlight mode is turned off?? Can’t I take photo without the flashlight in auto mode , macro mode, selfie mode because my pictures are all overexposed especially when I take pictures during the day time .... please help.. I think my camera is a faulty one... please respond immediately

While this camera does have a few adjustments one can make, the quality of photos isn't as good as the money spent. The close up shots are a joke actually since the viewfinder isn't a live one. So when you look through the view finder on the macro setting, the photo taken is too far left of the object being phographed, since the actual lense is in the center and the viewfinder on the right 🙄🙄. There also seems to be a problem with focusing in general since most photographs come almost soft focussed.

No problems at all, easy to use and instant pictures. Only issue is no option of checking the picture before printing and cost per picture is on the higher side.

Warning: test eseguito su SQ1 matr. A030549.1) Immagini fortemente sottoesposte (inutilizzabili), quando scattate a distanza inferiore a 1mt. dal soggetto.2) Ergonomia: impugnando la macchina (anche soltanto per prenderla), il dito indice si trova a posizionarsi su un bottone di scatto che, a causa della sensibilità’, causa spesso scatti accidentali.3) Il flash automatico, non disinseribile(!), distrugge il “mood” di ogni immagine, trasformando, ad esempio, un albero di Natale, con la sua suggestiva illuminazione, in una fredda scultura metallica.Ritengo che queste osservazioni avrebbero potuto trovare soluzione alla base, in fase di progettazione, e non ricadere a spese del consumatore/tester, come spesso mi è capitato in oltre 30 anni di professione di fotografo pubblicitario. Grazie per l’attenzione.

Compré esta cámara hace como 3 meses y después de usarla por un rato creo que puedo dar una opinión objetiva.1. Esta cámara es meramente un lujo, un accesorio que todo fotógrafo amateur tendría para sacar fotos en momentos muy pero muy especiales, y para ir armando tu mural de fotos memorables2. Las películas (papel de impresión) son caras, y aún si las agarras en oferta tendrías que checar que la fecha de “caducidad” no sea pronto. Yo compré un paquete que me llegó el 28 de mayo y caducaban el 1ro de junio (me faltó leer más), aún así, según he visto en internet, las películas sirven después de su fecha de caducidad.3. Dominar el encuadre (que lo que quieres capturar sea lo que sale en la foto) lleva su tiempo (y películas desperdiciadas). Lo mismo para los modos que la cámara tiene.5. El flash se puede desactivar, lo cual es bueno, ya que no se necesita todo el tiempo. Los modos de disparo también son útiles (pero tienes que practicar para dominarlos).6. Usa pilas que no son recargables y, al menos en México, es muy raro encontrar el tipo de pilas que usa. Ya se incluye el primer par de pilas, pero vas a tener que comprar unas en amazon para tenerlas de back up.7. Tienes que invertir en una funda/case y una correa. La correa que viene con la cámara trae una etiqueta que dice que el material de la correa ha sido factor de cáncer en el estado de California. Yo la tiré y compré otra a buen precio en Amazon. El case o funda, lógicamente es necesario para evitar golpes, rayones, sobre todo si la quieres traer colgada o ponerla en superficies8. Diseño vintage/retro: definitivamente es llamativa y atractiva. Sientes que vuelves a esa época de fotos instantáneas. La gente queda maravillada al ver como sale el papel de la cámara y cómo se va revelando la foto.Como dije, es una cámara para momentos especiales. Es un accesorio y un buen regalo si tú o la persona a la que se la das puede costear el papel.Otra opción, si no quieres desperdiciar películas, sería la Fuji Insta SQ20 ya que es una cámara híbrido, es decir, sigue siendo instantánea, pero permite visualizar la foto en la pantalla y decidir si la imprimes o borras

Returned mine.Poor quality photosTrigger button is in a terrible place can’t ask anyone to take a photo for you as it will result in a wasted photo, which are expensive as refills are not cheap. unfortunately lots of waste plastic created from photo refills.Disappointing better sticking with camera phone and adding a retro filter and printing.

This is such a novelty gift but it is so much fun, not knowing what the picture is going to turn out like and not having the option to edit etc, we only used for special occasions and have captured some genuine special memories. I would definitely recommend.

Very disappointed as camera didn't work. Bought as a gift for our granddaughter. Going through the painful process of getting it returned now.
