Fuji Instax Square SQ6 Instant Film Camera Review

June 17, 2018 By Dan Finnen

By now, Fuji has to have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. Despite completely dominating instant film with the wildly popular Instax line, everyone still calls their cameras and pictures ‘Polaroids’ and ‘instamatic cameras.’ Whenever people try to tell me about the new instant film camera they just bought, they struggle to remember […]
