Retro-Tinged Polaroid Cameras

Fujifilm's New SQUARE SQ40 Celebrates Vintage Photo Formats

— July 25, 2023 — Lifestyle
The new Instax SQUARE SQ40 camera functions similarly to any other Polaroid camera but is also defined by its unique new look. It retains all the qualities of a vintage appeal whilst also delivering contemporary elements as well. At first glance at the latest camera, it seems to be larger in size than its predecessors but does not compromise the easy portability, still fitting comfortably in one's hand.

It has design cues drawn from traditional cameras including the textured black surface that resembles the look of leather for an elegant flair. The camera case for this is also made from a tactile material as well. The new SQUARE SQ40 has an auto-exposure feature that allows users to take photos in the dark without having to manually alter any settings.
