My daughter had asked about an instant camera as a Christmas present.
Yeah, I know they won't be great image quality etc. and that the film is ridiculously expensive for them.
I was just going to get her a fuji instax as they seemed a popular choice.
Any way I had a quick look online as I know nothing at all about these and noticed that there are a few of these that are "hybrid" meaning you can take a photo and check it before printing, transfer the digital photo to your phone, computer etc and thought that might be a handy option to cut down on failed prints although maybe that is part of the fun.
Does anyone have any experience using these and have any recommendations?
My daughter while only 13 is pretty camera savvy she has been using a dslr since she was about 5/6 and now has a Sony A7 although she pretty much only uses it for video.
Realistically I guess I could just get her one of the instax printers which would do the same thing but allow her to use either her camera or her phone but I think it's more than fun element that appeals to her so have ruled that out.
