Fuji Instax is stepping in to fill the vacant footsteps left by Polaroid instant cameras. Early in 2008 we lost the iconic photography process of taking a photo and having the picture appear right before your eyes within minutes.
Instax could fill the void we have lost. The instant photography system offers high quality pictures in the time it takes to check the exposure and press the shutter. The cameras generate an image the size of a credit card in moments.
You can purchase one from Urban Outfitters for about $130 with instant film packs available to take 10 photos.
