You’d think
instant cameras are dead and buried? Turns out Fujifilm, one of the
biggest names in photography at a time thinks there is still a market for them.
The Japanese corporation recently announced the Instax Mini 9, its latest
instant camera.
The Instax Mini 9 is an upgrade to the well-received
Instax Mini 8 released back in November 2012. Both cameras actually share the
same design. The new model brings new features such as High Key Mode which lets
you take brighter images; a selfie mirror; and a detachable close-up lens.
While those upgrades sound pretty nice, what may get
people to buy the Instax Mini 9 are the cute colors options it has. There is
Cobalt Blue, Flamingo Pink, Smokey White, Ice Blue, and Lime Green. When it
goes on sale on April 9, the Cobalt Blue and Smokey White variants won’t be
available for purchase. You will have to wait till June to get your hands on
them.
The Instax Mini 9 will use the same Fujifilm Instax
Mini film cartridges as its predecessors. Owners can purchase either the color
and monochrome packs and get instant pictures shortly after taking them.
The Instax Mini 9 will sell for US$ 70 when it goes on
sale in April.
