<\/span>What is the Sharper Image Instant Camera?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the demise of the Polaroid company in the 2000s, few people could predict the resurgence instant camera market would see just a few years later. Instant photography seems to be all the rage these days, with film and camera availability<\/a> at an all-time high. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same companies have dominated the instant photography market for as long as it’s been around. Polaroid<\/a> has come back in yet another incarnation, and Fuji <\/a>has never left the market. However, a slew of new companies has entered and diversified the field. From heavyweights like Kodak<\/a> and Canon<\/a> to niche players like Lomo<\/a>, everybody wants a slice of the instant cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where the Sharper Image Instant Camera<\/a> comes in. Not a revolutionary product by any means, it is essentially a rebranded version of the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8. It uses the same Fujifilm Instax<\/a> Mini Film<\/a> and offers pretty much the same user experience. At about half the price of the Instax (often reduced at Walmart), the Sharper Image Instant Camera comes in three colors – black, baby blue and pink. It’s a cheap and cheerful way into the instant photography hype. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike it’s modern cousins like the Canon CLIQ <\/a>and the Kodak Smile<\/a> the Sharper Image Instant Camera is a classic analogue instant camera. It uses traditional light sensitive photo paper cartridges and does not keep digital versions of the shots you take. The camera is not burdened with any unnecessary bells and whistles and is simple enough to be operated by anyone. However, it does come with some advanced features not commonly found on other instant cameras. It’s, therefore, best to familiarize yourself with its functions and settings to achieve the best possible results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
