What You Should Know About Fuji Instax Cameras And Film

By Maureen Kerr


Fuji Corporation has long been the leader in 35 mm film quality. Their film has consistently delivered striking colors, and images that are sharp and crystal clear. With the Fuji Instax system, they have stepped into the instant film gap left by Polaroid. Instax film is professional quality film that does not suffer in comparison to their 35 mm offerings.

There are a number of situations where a tamper-proof photograph is necessary. These are considered legal evidence. Neither digital photography nor standard film photography can produce an image that cannot be altered. A lawyer may want visual evidence where an accident took place or need to make a copy of a legal document where no copier is available. The instant picture is also useful in documenting an accident on the spot.

There are two basic designs of instant cameras in this series. The minis take a picture the size of a credit card. These pictures are great for your passport, your wallet, or whenever you need a photograph for an identification card. The 210 take a wide screen photograph. Fuji mini film works in any of its mini camera. There are three professional films in addition to the standard instax wide format film. All films come in easy to load packages, with ten pictures per package. Further discounts on the film are possible with larger packages.

Users are impressed by the quality of the images they've gotten from these cameras. The colors are brilliant and images clear. The film requires no extra steps after it is exposed and ejected from the camera. Professionals can choose professional quality black and white or color film in 300 ASA speed. Black and white photographers will also be interested in the 3000B films which offer 3000 ASA speeds.

There are two minis to choose from, the 50S and the 7. The 50S is compact and stylish. It is capable of taking low light shots because of its adjustable shutter speed. There is also 2:1 magnification. Those who like to look in the viewfinder and take the shot will enjoy the 7.

The 210 has traditional styling with a side grip and large viewfinder. The automatic flash adjusts for lighting conditions. The lens is also adjustable for a variety of magnifications. The 210 uses 200 instax film and the specialized professional versions.

Polaroid enthusiasts may find using these cameras a delight. Many had given up on photography once they ran out of Polaroid's instant film. Digital and film photography do not give the instant gratification of this type of film. Digital systems can be complex and hard to master for someone who is not savvy about technology.

One of the attractions of digital photography is seeing in the viewfinder how your picture will turn out. Instant film goes one step farther. You have the actual picture in your hand minutes after the film was exposed. When the quality of the product is as fine as this film is, you have an all around winner.
