one would assume that if you are reading this review that you are already familiar with how the device works but I’ll give a quick rundown just to show it easy it is - slide the power switch to turn it on, point the camera at what you want a memory of, and it spits out a small instant picture when you press the shutter that you can see the results after about two minutes (over-simplification? massively but you get the point)
I can’t speak to the functionality of the original polaroid cameras (other than they were quite large) but I do appreciate that this camera comes with different modes depending on if you want to do selfie/macro/wide shoots/etc along with lightening or darkening the shot. these take a little practice to get exactly right but that’s part of the charm, playing around and seeing what you get.
since I bought this I haven’t had to swap out the batteries yet so I can’t speak to that (does take a specialty battery so I suggest having backups) but I am very impressed with the build of this for the price point. the blue/metal color looks great and gets so many compliments, it has a nice weight to it without feeling like you are lugging something around all day. even comes with a neckstrap to keep it safe and secure (I prefer to just toss it in my bag personally).
the only knock that I will give this is that the viewfinder doesn’t seem to be in a very logical position. having the shutter button on the right side of the camera it makes sense in my mind that you would have the viewfinder of the left (because also most people tend to use their right eye). I had read another review that had mentioned it but it didn’t strike me as how odd it was until I was actually holding it for myself.
full disclosure - I am not a professional photographer by any stretch of the imagination so I can’t speak to the technical side of things as far as aperature and all those things. it’s a blast and a half that fits in your hand
This is essentially a point-and-click camera with instant payoff. I find the film to be fairly priced and a much better deal than Polaroid film. Polaroid films might be bigger, but I actually appreciate the pocket-sized square films of this camera because they’re easier to store and organize.
All in all, I can’t recommend this camera enough for people just entering the world of instant cameras and people who want to experiment with the multiple picture modes and filters that come included with the camera. The self-timer is so easy to use for group photos and it’s perfectly sized for travel, not too bulky and it comes with a comfy neck strap. If you’re still torn on which camera to buy, I don’t think you’ll find anything easier or as high-quality for the price as this one!

After comparing several instant cameras, I came to the decision that the Square 6 was the perfect blend of accessibility and vintage charm. As pictured, there are a variety of photo settings that are designed to be simple enough to choose from and use without having to engineer your own exposure or focus and it feels so simple a child could use it which I love. The shutter button is on the front of the camera about an inch and a half under the viewfinder which has a small circle chiseled into the glass so you can center your subject instead of estimating, a very elegant solution to the viewfinder being in the far corner of the device so you don’t have to struggle to frame the shots. The photos are a bit smaller than I thought but I don’t dislike that because they develop beautifully, display adorably and are small enough to be given out as mementos if you want. Photo pack went into the slot perfectly and I had no issues with jamming or development.
I really think the reviews complaining about how the pictures come out didn’t consider the actual purpose of buying an instant camera. If what you want is perfectly crisp, perfectly balanced photos, look elsewhere! This is a wonderful camera for nostalgia, sharing and learning how to thoughtfully capture the things you care about on film. I bought a sweet little leather case for it and 2 20 packs of film and have been having so much fun snapping photos and figuring out where to display them around the apartment! Best $80 I’ve spent in a while and absolutely an experience in and of itself!

Even though this is an older model, it was recommended to me and I feel it is still the best square format camera from Fuji. If you get a good deal, do not hesitate on getting one.

The Instax SQ6 is a fully analogue camera with no zoom, autofocus, or even manual focus. It just meters the scene and takes a photo then spits it out of the top of the camera. The camera has a few different exposure modes, where it will adjust its focus between one of three distances: Macro (0.3m - 0.5m); Normal (0.5m - 2m); Landscape (2m+). It also has a selfie mode and a little mirror next to the lens to help you line up the shot. Additionally, you have the ability to manually disable the flash and set an automatic shutter timer. The camera is also reasonably compact, as the lens retracts into the body when powered off.
While being able to focus manually might be nice, I understand that for instant cameras, Fujifilm presumably wishes to keep things as simple and inexpensive as possible so anybody can use the camera. The SQ6 is unique among recent Fujifilm Instax cameras in that it has these alternate shooting modes flash control, and self timer. Later models omit these features but are otherwise pretty much the same except for aesthetics. This is what pushed me to grab this camera before they're gone for good. I like to have at least a little bit of control over the camera, particularly being able to turn off the flash.
As for the photos themselves. I included a few examples with this review. I'm pretty pleased with the quality of the pictures. Learning how to gauge the focusing distance and framing takes a little bit of practice since you can only frame your shot through the viewfinder, which: A, doesn't show you what's in focus and B, is offset from the actual lens. I just try to remember what the actual effective focusing distances are for the three modes mentioned earlier. Correctly capturing Macro focus is particularly tricky but can have some really nice results if you nail it. By the way, when you power on the camera, the default mode is 'Normal', with the flash enabled.
Instax film has been around for over 20 years now but I had never used it before. The colours and saturation are very nice, plus it exposes and develops evenly and consistently. It is ISO 800 and tends to have a high amount of contrast and doesn't work very well in most indoor or dimly lit conditions as the photos come out rather dark. If you use the flash for indoor photos you can at least get peoples faces exposed decently, though the backgrounds will be largely black. As you may see from my included example photos, I've mostly been taking artsy-looking still life photos outdoors during the day and I've been happy with the results. But artsy-looking photos are only half the fun of instant photography, I look forward to bringing this on my next holiday to make some hard copy, charmingly imperfect photos as keepsakes.
Overall, I've run a couple packs of film through this camera so far: some monochrome, some colour. I've really been enjoying it so far. Now, if you're comparing Instax vs Polaroid, I admit I haven't used current generation Polaroid film but I find the value proposition questionable. It's more than twice as expensive per photo, is sensitive to changes in ambient temperature, and the print quality is arguably worse. I root for Polaroid and Instax to keep growing and improving, it seems both are riding a wave of popularity as people grow tired of just having all their photos in the cloud instead of in their hands. If you like photography and want an Instax Square camera and this SQ6 is still available, I'd recommend grabbing one before they're gone. Unless, of course, Fujifilm releases a new camera with these sorts of features in the future, but who knows.
