Fujifilm Instax Square SQ1 Instant Camera (Glacier Blue)

The Fujifilm Instax Square SQ1 is a square-format instant camera that's easy affordable and easy to use.

• +

  Fun, square instant prints, Very easy to use, Close focus and mirror for selfies, Color and black-and-white film available

• -

  No self timer, tripod socket, or double exposure support, Smaller photos than Polaroid cameras, CR2 batteries aren't always easy to find

The INSTAX SQ1 is a nice addition to the INSTAX family, bringing the fully-automatic simplicity of the Mini 11 with the larger square format. Like the Mini 11, it’s a pure point-and-shoot with no control beyond choosing whether the focusing range is near or far.

You aren’t going to get professional quality pictures, but that’s not the point of owning an instant camera. It’s more about capturing an intimate moment and preserving it. The Fujifilm Instax Square SQ1 is easy to use and produces likable instant photographs in seconds.

I have spent some time with the Fujifilm Instax Square SQ1, launched a few months ago in September 2020 at a price of Rs 10,999 in India. The price has been slashed now. The new price of the instant camera is set at Rs 9,999.

The Instax SQ1 makes Fuji's square format instant cameras even more affordable, at the expense of features. That makes it ideal for snapping away without thinking about shooting modes, but creatives may miss the versatility of the pricier SQ6.

  Point-and-shoot simplicity, Square photos are a fine size, Delivers punchy, vibrant snaps

• -

  No advanced shooting modes, No tripod thread, Non-rechargeable batteries

With two modes and very little customisation, the SQ1’s basic functionality makes this a very easy to use camera. It also benefits from auto-exposure and uses the large Instax film for a better overall photo when compared to the Mini range.

Really cute and compact camera! Fits in my purse, which I love. It doesn’t come with any film though, so you have to make sure to purchase some separately!

The pictures come out blurry :( I was so excited for this camera. You have to hold the camera really still when you take the picture after the flash don’t move right away, if you do that’s when it comes out blurry

So cute and fun - love the glacier blue but honestly want all three colors

great quality camera, the only downside is the film is not included, it would have been nice knowing this before hand when I was taking it on a trip

Kate really enjoyed creating photos of her animals, ponies, rabbit, sheep etc. and something she could manage herself without adult supervision.

I love the look of this camera and the nice square size of the prints looks like the classic Polaroid print. The quality of the print is good, though I do find it comes out a bit blurry if you're not in a really bright environment- that could be the photographer to a point though!

I got the glacier blue and the colour is perfect! Such a fabulous way of capturing moments, instead of all pics being held on our phones. Wonderful instant quality

Really lovely product, everyone adores the orange colour and the photos have come out great, but battery cover fell off and was lost first use.

Very nice camera takes brilliant pictures for an instant

Got this as a Christmas present for my wife and I'm not impressed while setting the camera up u accidentally hit the shoot button because of its location about 4 times already. The selfie quality isn't great at all especially taking selfies at night.
