Fuji Instax 200 Instant Film Camera

The Fuji Instax 200 Instant Film Camera. It was love at first sight. No doubt about it.

I dearly miss the Polaroid cameras, so when I got a chance to grab the Fuji Instax 200 Instant Film Camera I did not hesitate one bit. I latched on to it.

The camera is very light weight indeed. But on the size front – this bugger is HUGE! When you compare it to your normal cigarette packet sized digital cameras of today, the Fuji Instax 200 Instant Film Camera is no small puppy. But I tell you, its a crowd magnet. The best part is the price. It hovers at around $50. I picked up mine at Amazon (if you click on the link it will take you there).

What I liked about this camera is for one, my son, gets to see a bit of history, the way photographs were taken back in the 80s. With the advent of digital cameras it is all to easy to show it through the small screen, but the cool sound that it makes, you know the sound of an instant camera when you point and shoot and that memerizing sound of the pic coming out. Way too cool.

The second thing I like about this camera, is I can hand off a picture right there and then. Sure we use to do this way back 15-20 years ago, but now you can do it again. Take it at a party, or out on the beack, the BBQ, to the game, etc. it sure will win admiration for you. Many kids have never even seen one! Imagine.

I really don’t dwell into the technical aspects of Fuji Instax 200 Instant Film Camera that you can find a plenty on the web, but to touch on a few, yes, it has a self-retracting zoom lens. Each photo-pack has 10 exposure films in it per cartridge. Built in flash. It takes on an average about 2 1/2 minutes for the film to develop and the picture size is about 6 cm x 10 cm (approximately).  Oh in case you’re wondering the picture comes out from the top!

Do try to buy one if you can, you simply cannot go wrong with this beauty! You savor each and every moment when you take it out, and if you are mildly hermit, be prepared to be hounded by new friends!
