Our editorial take on the Fujifilm Instax SQ20
The Fujifilm Instax SQ20 is a hybrid instant camera that shoots square-format prints on Instax Square film. It sits as the third camera in Fujifilm's square instant lineup and builds on the SQ10 with notable additions like video capture and digital zoom. The SQ20 records short 800 x 800 pixel video clips at 15 fps, letting you grab stills from motion for printing, a feature that adds flexibility to the instant shooting experience. The camera also packs a 4x digital zoom and a 2.7-inch rear LCD for reviewing and editing shots before committing them to film.
With a 33.4mm equivalent lens and f/2.4 aperture, the SQ20 handles varied lighting reasonably well, and its built-in rechargeable battery delivers around 100 prints per charge. The microSD card slot means you can save digital copies of your images, making this more than just a one-shot instant camera. At 390 grams, it's a bit heftier than simpler analog instants, but the tradeoff is the ability to preview, edit, and print selectively. It's a solid pick for anyone who wants the tactile fun of instant prints with a touch of digital convenience.
