The Fujifilm Instax SQ6 is Fujifilm’s second Instax Square Camera, and this one is analog!

It was only a matter of time until we got another Fujifilm Instax Square camera; and this time around we’re being treated to the Fujifilm Instax SQ6. This is the company’s second Instax Square camera – and with it is also their new Instax Square Black frame film that’s coming out too. The new Fujifilm Instax SQ6 comes in white, gold or grey. It has a 65mm f12.6 lens on the front, and from what the tech specs are telling us thus far, it seems like it’s going to be another one of those plastic fantastic cameras from Fujifilm.

Unlike their previous camera, this one is said to be all analog. That means that there isn’t a digital sensor at the heart and instead the light is passing through straight to the film. At least, that’s what Fujifilm is telling us; we’ll hopefully get one in our hands soon enough. Pretty cool, right?
