Fujifilm is still producing new models of instant film cameras, and its newest flagship looks like a blast from the past.
Fujifilm Japan's recently-announced Instax Mini 90 is an instant film camera that wears the same retro styling seen in some of the company's other cameras like the X-M1. It uses Instax film, Fuji's instant film that measures 2.13 x 3.4 inches -- about the size of a credit card.
When you take a photo with the Instax Mini 90, you'll get a print immediately, which is great for the hipster who desires immediate gratification. The camera sports other features attractive to the artsy-bohemian crowd too, such as bulb mode for extended exposures, a double exposure setting, and a 60mm f/12 lens that should be decent enough for macro photography.
The Instax Mini 90 currently has a release date of September 20th in Japan, but there aren't firm dates for when it will available stateside. When it does, though, it'll probably run around $220 -- not cheap for what amounts to a camera for experimentation, especially considering the film costs around $15 for 20 exposures.
Still, it'll all be worth it when you upload your scanned, double-exposed, aggressively out-of-focus Instax photos onto Tumblr and watch the reblogs roll in.
