Fujifilm Instax Square SQ40

Fujifilm Instax SQ40 review: The bigger picture

The SQ40 is a solid camera that can't be described as little but does its job well. That said, the same reservations as usual apply - buying film is expensive and you're still subject to somewhat regular dud outcomes. It's chunkier than an Instax Mini and you do therefore get better photos in our opinion, but the added difficulty in carting it around means that I still think a Mini is the better choice for most people, on balance.

Instax Square SQ40 review

The Instax Square SQ40 isn’t anything new – it’s really just the (cheaper) SQ1 dressed up in a black vegan leather finish. Slight improvements to low light performance help justify the price hike though, and if you want a square Instax that doesn’t feel like a toy, this is your only option.

The Instax Square SQ40 is a wonderfully simple instant camera that swaps out the SQ1’s vibrant finish for a more classic faux leather style.
