Fujifilm instax SQUARE 2 review

The SQUARE 2 replaces the SQUARE SQ1 as Fujifilm's easy square format camera, and at a $119.95 MSRP it costs less than the SQ1's $159.95. It prints a 62 by 62 mm square picture on 86 by 72 mm film, noticeably more image than a mini print. Exposure and flash are automatic, and the lens twists between Standard, Close-up and distant-scene modes, with a selfie mirror for close-ups from 0.3 to 0.5 m. A Mood Filter switch adds a warm or cool tint, or turns it off for the plain instax look. Four AA batteries last about 30 SQUARE film packs by Fujifilm's figures. A twin pack of SQUARE film lists at $31.99 for 20 shots, about $1.60 each, between mini and WIDE film. Fujifilm's specification list does not include a self-timer, so groups who want to be in the shot should look at the mini 13 or WIDE 400.
