You can also add an artistic flourish to your photos before you print them off with a range of special filters available, including a time stamp for a more vintage feel. The SQ20 camera also comes with a four time zoom and an internal 50 photo memory capacity, but this can be extended with a Micro SD card.
Many people love the instax camera, and shoppers have awarded the hybrid digital camera a 4.6 star rating on Amazon. However, at the time of writing, 56 per cent of cameras had been claimed so you will need to be quick if you want to catch this deal.
One delighted shopper wrote: “I understand some people want ultra HD clear photos, but this camera captures exactly what I was looking for, faded and vintage style photos. It has a special style that reminds me of Polaroids and high resolution doesn’t capture the style these cameras are designed for. Truly is fantastic quality.”
Another was over the moon with the camera: “I absolutely adore this camera, bought it after not one but two SD cards failed on me and lost countless pictures of my family and friends, unlike years ago…no one prints off photos anymore, so I decided this year that was going to change.
“I adore the fact I can delete photos I’ve taken where someone has blinked etc and it doesn’t waste the film like previous instax models. I love how I can even edit prints and add a time stamp. I hardly ever use my phone now, I instinctively grab my instax.”
A third five-star reviewer added: “Best decision ever made. Picture quality is good and it has in-built storage, so that we don’t need a sd card unless we are not taking too many pics. It has different options to edit, crop and so on. I think its the best among all the Polaroid cameras.”
However, not everyone was as enamored with the camera, as one shopper wrote: “The camera overall looks good and has some smooth curves to help grip when holding it. The material however is quite slippery and it’s too easy to push the picture button when you don’t mean to. The screen is not good quality and the menu buttons are incredibly fiddly.”
Another shopper had a couple of issues, saying: “The lens is basically non-existent. I mean there is one but to me it looks like a small hole. There is no glass lens. it takes pictures ok so it must be a mobile phone lens or similar. This may not bother many people but it bugs me, just looks cheap.
“The zoom must be digital, which again serves the purpose but feels and looks cheap. The second disappointment is the screen, it’s low res and small, image quality is poor on screen making it pretty much impossible to apply any of the in camera effects and get reliable results.”
