I just got this camera and I am completely in love

Hey Hashem, great video. I've been contemplating acquiring an Instant camera for a while now, and it's good to actually watch a review that shows examples of the camera's capabilities. I found a lot of the features you mentioned to relative, and informative. Thanks. Keep up the great work.

The photos looks so good. I’m about to by this camera soon. Excited!

Lighten/darken modes default focus to "auto" (.5-2m). If you want sharp photos in the 6ft to infinity range, use landscape mode and neutral density filters over the lens to darken and over the sensor to lighten. .15ND = 1/2 stop, .3ND = 1 stop. A Roscolux #397 gel = 2/3 stop.

Nice review! Might have to get one of these. Thanks for sharing!

The best review of this camera I have seen, thanks! Finally somebody is showing the photos it makes! And good tips too. The one thing it is missing is a bulb mode. But for its size and how compact it is, with all,the manual optioms, I think I will buy this. Luckily I just found it on stock in one store!

Great video, I bought my SQ6 txs to your advices!

that macro shot with the flowers is beautiful

Awesome review! love your style, informational and succinct. Will definitely be coming back to this channel. Thanks!

Well done, a review that informed. Got one in the mail.

Nice vid man, great information. Thanks.

Great Video ! Learned a lot about exposing with the SQ6 thanks to you. Still waiting for those monochrome squares... Hope Fuji didn't abandoned this format already.

You just sold me on the sq6 over the 300 wide. Such great features for the price and you have quite a few great photos there!

Great, concise video 😊

I found this video very helpful because I just got a SQ6. Could you maybe mention what settings you used for your daylight/portrait photos?

I was in a similar position recently, even though the SQ6 is discontinued I bought one becasue it was the last "feature rich" square format instax has made. Also considered the Lomo square glass but it is too inconsistant and EXPENSIVE! Mannaged to pick up my SQ6 with a bag, 20 shots of film, and all the original packaging for only 120 bucks

Hey Hashem, nice video! One day I have to get one of these. One location in one of the photos looked very familiar! 🤗

The new film for this camera is amazing! You are however paying $1 per shot in a 2 pack (10 each) for $20 US compared to my Polaroid Land Camera 250 at $3.50 per snap. Great job Hashem!

Nice video. I have been shooting with a mini instax for a while and wanted bigger pictures. This helped my decision. As of right now you can get 20 slide bundles for $17 usd, which is about $1.50 more for the same number of mini slides. Not bad.

I had the same problem with my one step 2 I don’t mind the price of the film as long as I get good results but unfortunately I wasn’t getting that with Polaroid. The results where so inconsistent like you where saying some shots will come out decent while others were unusable and it’s really not worth it especially for the price you are paying

Hi, very helpful, but I still have a couple of questions: 1) I don’t quite understand the very differences between “selfie mode” and “ macro mode” since the have the same focal distance. 2) what’s the focus distance when shooting automatic, or double exposure or lighten and darken mode. They just specify the focus distance when shooting macro, selfie and landscapes. Thank you!

I cant believe how amazing your pics are !!! This is where a photographers skill show off. Great video highly appreciate it ! I am a photographer and had the chance to try the Instax 9 and i felt this amazing addictive feeling after taking the shot. I felt its a new amazing way to enjoy photography and spread smiles. So i went with the intention of buying the SQ6 because it was just perfect although the film was more expensive but ended up buying the Instax LiPlay . I’m not sure if i did the right choice. It defeats the entire purpose of the addicting analogue photography which kinda killed me on the inside. But its really compact and can print pics from your smartphone ,save pics to an SD and most importantly shoots black and white which is a feature i really need. I really enjoy and need those features but feel bad that it doesn’t have the experience of an analogue ... And honestly, where i live, i cant find much square Instax film, its all small size. .... Do u think i made a mistake with my purchase ?

great review

Didnt know instax had a square format. Might have to give it a try since polaroid is so expensive

While the film is developing, do you need to put it in somewhere dark or keep it away from sunlight like the Polaroid film?

Thank you!

I just buy this camera it looks so good,great review

Thanks for sharing. Nice images. 👍🏻

Great review!

Hey there , was indecisive about getting this camera and your video helped me a lot . Thanks so much man. Subbed to the channel. Quality content. I have a short question if you don't mind , how do you take pictures of the polarids ? :)) like the one in 8:48 , I have some cool polaroids that I wanna share on social media and I don't have to convert them into digital photos and still have them look cool like you do. Hope you answer my question, would mean the world to me. Thank you again.

About scanning: turn photos 90 degrees - you'll fit six of them at once ;)

Hey I’m not sure if you know this because this video is older but lomography is making an instax wide film back for medium format cameras, I think it’ll be out pretty soon!!!! It’s already listed on their website as a preorder item

The manual the camera comes with says to compensate for the parallax error by moving your viewfinder to the top right of the composition but you are doing it by moving it to the left. I am a beginner and I am a bit confused. Could you explain that a bit more, please?

Do you know which focus is used when you are on the darken/lighten mode please ? Can we practice portrait AND landscapes with these modes ? Because I think this camera hasn't go an autofocus non ?

I thought about this, but then I saw the SP3 instax square printer and thought wouldn't it be better to take the photo on my Fuji digital camera and then print out the ones I want. Would there be a difference?

Nice job, Hashem.

I wish Fuji brought back Packfilm, dare I say it's the best instant film experience. Too bad as the years go by they just get more and more expensive. I really hope One Instant takes off to revive the market.

Is the camera alright when taking pictures far away or is there a general way to compensate for the parallax issue?

Wow, you took some beautiful photos... Can't wait to play with mine.

damn I really wanted this until I heard about the parallel issue... I am very particular about what enters the frame in my photos and I don't wanna play guessing have with expensive film.

Thank you SO MUCH, I was certainly hesitating whether I should buy or not this camera, but with your review, you've definitely convinced me :D One question, this "parallax error" is present in every instant camera? Sorry, but it is the very first time I hear it, I'm a more digital photographer and I bought a Mini 7 camera a couple weeks ago, so I'd love to test it asap, but I'm now thinking about that detail :o I don't wan to waste my shots :(

Ive searched up and down to find a review/tips or example of macro mode on the Sq6. No luck. But I’m very curious to know if you find the macro mode easy to use? Any tips? I jumped at purchasing this camera because of macro mode. Personally love macro photography. I got my camera yesterday and have gone through 12 attempts to use macro. Maybe 2 came out ok. The rest are blurry, out of frame, back is sharper front is blurry. You can imagine the frustration due to the film being so expensive. I followed the instruction manual very well. Any advice would be appreciated.

For that beach photo you were talking about what setting did you use?

how is the picture quality in terms of sharpness compared to lomo square glass? is it big difference because of glass vs plastic?

It just seems lazy that Fuji didn't even get the parallax correct.

I have this camera and I love it but macro mode is still hard to understand..

on those portraits did you use the flash?

IMO instax should have black frames as default option :P And yes - FUJI, we want monochrome squares!

Did u take your outdoor shots without flash? I tried to take photos outdoor without flash, but it turn out blurry.. not as sharp as if I use flash. But the sky was kinda cloudy at that moment though. I am just thinking do we need to have a bright light sky to have a sharp result without flash?

Which one is better? Sq6 or sq20?

Make more vids ;)

I don’t know what you mean by Polaroid being inconsistent. The film has always been designed to develop in neutral conditions, remember that Polaroid integral film is 1970s tech.

Meh, I'm better off with my Polaroid back on my Mamiya RB67 and backing One Instant to bring back packfilm for it

Fuji did Polaroid better.
