Fujifilm Instax SQ6 £125 / $130

Targeting Instagram fans and boasting a design suggestive of that app’s logo, Fuji’s newest analogue snapper replaces the SQ10 and is square in both print output – with a central image size of 6.2 x 6.2cm – and construction. It’s powered by two tiny CR2 lithium batteries, which better the performance of AAs in lasting an impressive 300 shots. Credit-card-size prints work out at around £1 each, which is standard for an instant camera.

Also predictable is the choice of three body colours and a front-facing selfie mirror. Three coloured plastic cubes included in the box slip over the built-in flash and cleverly act as colour filters. Encouraging further experimentation is a doubleexposure mode, a macro mode and a landscape mode; the setting in use is indicated by an illuminated bulb on the SQ6’s back.

As with most instant cameras, prints appear washed out compared with a digital image; but if you’re trying to tear your teenager away from their phone to with the real world, the SQ6 provides an inexpensive opportunity to do so. PROS Simple design aids ease of use; squareformat prints for the Instagram obsessive CONS Tiny viewfinder; the square body lacks a proper handgrip
