I’m looking into getting an instant camera. I was drawn to the Fujifilm Instax cameras but it looks like the instant film for it can come out to $2 a photo which is pretty expensive imo.

I want this to take small color photos for journaling/scrapbooking/logging and may need to take a lot of photos at once (i.e. logging results of glazes on a ton of test tiles).

Also I don’t really care if it’s true analog or a digital camera that just prints out, but it does need to be color.

Anyone have any good reccs?

    All film is going to be expensive, especially instant developing cameras because of the extra technology in both the film and camera.

    You can save money by going black/white or by getting a normal film camera. The film market is picking up at the moment so there are more options available if you look around, but 90% of film is still made by about 2 companies.

    I would suggest a half frame camera because that will double the number of pictures you can take per roll of film and if they’re only going to be small you won’t notice any quality drop.
