In a challenging imaging market, trust Fujifilm to think out of the box and come out with a range of instant cameras that have captured the imagination of the market. The Instax Square SQ10 is a premium hybrid instant camera from Fujifilm and is one of the eight Instax models on offer.

Design & Build Quality

The Fujifilm Instax Square SQ10 camera is very well built and appears tough. It measures approximately 12.5 (H) x 11.5 (W) x 4.6 cm (D) and the finish is very good. The tripod mount is made of metal and the camera is manufactured in Indonesia.

Key Features

The SQ10 is a 3.68 megapixel hybrid camera that allows you to record images digitally (using its internal memory and/or Micro SD/SDHC card), or print directly from the camera using an accessory 10-sheet film pack. The camera uses a 1/4- inch Type CMOS sensor. A maximum of 50 images can be recorded to its internal memory and approximately 1000 files can be recorded per 1GB SD/SDHC card. The camera has a non-interchangeable 28.5mm (35mm format equivalent) f/2.4 lens that can autofocus from 10cm (approx. 4 inches) to infinity.
