I bought this camera, brand new about a year ago because of your recommendation. I have been very pleased with it. Thanks for going over it so well. Best instant camera I have had.
Amazing!!
Yes! Love this one, picked one up for my Wedding last June. We set an instax booth up with a friend with a nice backdrop, and she helped me take pictures of guests with the SQ6 to put into our guestbook as they signed it; it turned out amazing! Incredibly reliable camera ( I had the lomo square as a backup but my friend couldn't figure it out LOL); she even walked around shooting the SQ6 later at the dinner reception and caught some really nice candids/reactions, everyone loved it! Super fun camera :)
Now that’s a killer idea!!
It's been awhile since I've watched one of your videos as I have not had time for photography of late, glad to see they are the usual awesome videos to watch..
I am going to try and buy one of these
Thank you for the information you put out because of your channel. I started Instant photography with a fujifilm instax mini 40. I'm glad I picked the fujifilm instax over the Polaroid. Thank you
I just bought one last year. I love this camera. The one that came after this has no bells and whistles and it is the same expensive price as the sq6. I wish they would make the view finders over the lens for centered photos. Sharper Image makes a mini instax camera with the view finder over the lens. Where it should be. Even Diana's have the centered view finder.
Just discovered your videos the other day. Great videos keep it up, man 👍
Thank you! And welcome to the channel!
Hey man i just wanted to say that i love your videos keep going!
Thank you!
The best of the SQ line. I got one. Thanks for sharing.
It really is!
That is one of my fave Instax cameras, love the fact that it can work without the flash and of course the self timer!!! I believe every camera should have a self timer!!! Sadly, it's not made anymore!!! The newer SQ cameras are more dumbed down and no self timer!!!
Exactly!! And yeah it’s bummer these are easily obtainable these days
Rad video! I just picked one up yesterday🙌🏻 It’s rose gold though 😂 But got a leather case for it to cover it up as much as possible. This is my first instant camera…. Thanks for making me want to get into this🤘🏻
Still that’s a great find!!
Mini 10, Mini 90 and SQ6 are my favorite cameras from Instax. Mini 10 has less features than the other two, but its light sensor works amazingly. It will turn the flash off when it's necessary, but if you still want to have the flash on, you press a button while shutting the picture and that's it! Mini 90 is the most complete in features, it has everything SQ6 has, but there's also those modes where we can have presets for shutter speed. I love them all!
Still need to do a review on the 90!
@@JustAnotherChris I totally agree!
I had 2 Mini 90s die an early death, bad luck on my part, but loved the camera when it worked ... ended up with a mini 40 at the moment!!!
I love the mini 90’s features and design but not the format 😟 i wish it was a square film format
I didn't know about the mini 10, looks cool. Did some googling definitely interested in tracking down one. Though I couldn't find a lot of test shots/reviews for it. How much better is it over the mini 90? If you could only have one would it be the 10 or 90? Is the sensor more accurate in low light or overall better exposure for lights and darks? Thanks!
I use that one and I love it!
This is hands down my favorite Instax camera. I like the film size, and the features. I got the SQ10 when it came out and was so bummed with the weak digital photos. The SQ6 was exactly what I needed, great shots, camera look and features at a reasonable price. I have no idea why they dropped it for the crappy SQ1. not into that rubbery look at all.
I just picked up a fuji square 10, their first hybrid camera (I think). It is really cool. Got it for $90, sq6's are hard to find and pretty expensive (even in 2nd hand stores). I think the Sq6 looks better than the sq1.
A workhorse for every day! Over the year, I used it the most
Nice mate 📸
I loooove my SQ6! I wish my Instax Wide had all those features
Me too!!
I just picked up one of these last week, and it's great!
I never wanted to mess with Instax because I didn't like the rectangular aspect ratio, and especially not the portrait orientation on Instax mini film.
And then I discovered Instax has a square format. So I had to get one.
I'm not thrilled about the pictures being quite a bit smaller than polaroid 600, but they don't look too out of place in the same album.
The sq6 is a great camera, and if you just can't abide the portrait nonsense with Instax mini, it's by far the best option for Instax square.
It’s a great camera and format!
The instax mini 90 also have the same features and have a rechargeable battery you should try it out. Love the content.
that's amazing and really hepful because these batteries are nowhere to be found where i live
A classic instax cam. Fuji logic though with them discontinuing one of their few decent instax cameras. Kind of regret selling mine years back. Ridiculous prices on the used market. 🙄
Just snagged one up barely been used 75$ Canadian I see they are up to 250$ online now , can’t wait to snag some photos with it
Now that is a great find!
I bought mine because I watched this video... I found it used at a camera repair shop for a good price. It's perfect for the square format. I don't understand Fuji discontinued it.
That’s a good pick up!!
They probably discontinued it because of the ridiculous battery situation 😂 I’ve never
Are you gonna do a review on the SQ-1? Was considering buying the SQ-6 but then I saw the SQ-1 and I was wondering what your opinion on it would be!
Did you get the sq1? How was it?
I love it being on the right side; as I am blind in my right eye lol
Well hey there you go!
Instax mini 90 has the same features as this camera(sq6) and has more, also is easily available!
Instax is still selling it
It also shoot Instax mini. Not square.
One day I will do a review on the mini 90!
I would take the mini90 with eyes shut, if it wasn't for its tiny mini film format... it has a beautiful vintage look though
@@deborathkatiussiacoelho9745 Yes same! It’s a very good camera apparently but the format … ugh
I love my sq6 ... not happy i could only get a pink one 🤷♂️. Still trying to figure out all the settings and how it all works 🤷♂️
Trying to decide on an instax square camera, and tossing up between the different options from instax and lomo is driving me INSANE!
More options with lomo as far as camera features
@@JustAnotherChris Do the reliability issues on the lomo make a difference? Or is it just a learning curve? I'm pretty much a beginner and have heard there are overexposure issues
@indeedentertainment nit with Instax cameras that’s more of a polaroid thing
@@JustAnotherChris So they don't have any under or overexposure problems? I have seen several people online complaining about it, defective or user error maybe?
Just sucks because the SQ6 is more reliable but you miss out on the charm and long exposure
I am really thinking of buying this camera after your great review. My question to you is this. I have found rechargeable cr2 batteries (3V, 800 mAh). 4 pack and a charger for 45 $. Do you think this will work or is normal batteries better?
Is there any other camera that uses the Instax Square film that’s not the SQ1 or SQ40? I would like a bit more features than the named models but the SQ6 is discontinued and I can’t find any good replacement for it😔I would like it to be all analog, the double exposure function, and the ability to turn the flash off
Yes there are a few cameras made by lomography
CR2 are probably not so easy to find, BUT they are very durable! Veeeery )
Indeed
My pictures come out blurry with the SQ6 and I have no idea why…
I used the double exposure for dem jojo stand instax photo 😂😂😂😂
Why didn't I thought Abt it😂
which would you choose between the SQ6 and the lomo instant square?
SQ6. The lomo takes practice to use but has a great features. SQ6 still has some good features but it’s way easier to use
Thank you for the great reviews! I've been watching your videos all day.
I'm looking for a photo printer and narrowed it down to the Kodak Retro Mini 3 or Polaroid Hi Print Pocket. Do you recommend one over the other? (or a completely different one)
I would go for the hi print. Better print quality. Plus it’s also sticker paper.
@@JustAnotherChris Interesting since I was leaning the other way! Thanks for the response.
Have you tried the new Polaroid David Bowie film?? I haven’t seen anybody review it yet
I haven’t and probably going to be skipping that one. Don’t really care to have someone’s name on my photos 😅
i was about to shell out almost 300 on the sq6 and the printer because aquariums dont allow flash photography, but now that i know i can turn off the flash i dont need the printer
Yeah this camera is pretty damn awesome
The battery thing really threw me off what?? Why can’t they just use normal batteries. I was sooooo into this camera you just crushed my dreams
is there any practical reason to prefer this camera (or any instax camera) over the instax link printers for each film format?
Well this is a camera and the link is not so that is something
@@JustAnotherChriswhat I meant is that this camera is limited by a plastic lens and a phone seems to have better features that would help making better photos, which could be then printed with an Instax square link.
I’m struggling to find sq6 anywhere. Where do I buy it
I got one on Amazon at retail price I’m in the uk people selling them for 200-250 on eBay and there still on Amazon at retail price 120
Good God I checked eBay out of curiosity and people are selling theirs for like £400+ wtf😂 I just never reach for this camera, I really miss using all my instant cameras I just have such anxiety bringing them to places and feeling weird for wwhipping them out😂 my instax wide is my favourite one but inconveniently it's also the biggest one I have so I never end up taking it anywhere because I don't know how to hide it if I have a small handbag. aaaah such a silly dilemma I have🥲
Yeah it’s going for mad money these days! I get where you coming from though. I still feel weird at times. But I always regret not taking a photo when I get home. So I suck it up shoot a photo and I have never really had anyone make fun of me for it. So it must be in my head haha
@@JustAnotherChris It definitely is in our heads because people end up loving it and want photos taken to keep😅 I guess I'm just too insecure to take my camera on a night out because it just doesn't go with my outfit🤣🤣🤣🤣

Haha well that sounds like an entirely different problem 😅
@@JustAnotherChrisstill in stock at retail in Canada
Which is better Sq6 or mini evo?
Ones mini film one is square. One is a digital camera one is not. Whats your preference?
I can't decide between the SQ6 and the SQ1.. I live in Sweden so the SQ6 costs about $250 to get here and the SQ1 $100. Is it worth it? Also this would be my first camera so I have no experience with instant camera. Would really like your thought on this. Instant cameras really is a jungle lol. Love the content, keep it up bro!!
Is the SQ6 better then the SQ40?
of course ! T he SQ6 is way better !
Is this better than the mini 99?
This shoots square film sooo it’s in another class of its own
Where can I find it in europe? It disappeared! :'( and sq1 is too basic...
Unfortunately looks like Fuji stopped making those camera. So you will have to look on other sell sites like eBay or Facebook marketplace
Fuji Mini 90 is 1 to 1 with this
The mini 90 also shoots Instax mini. Not Instax square.
It’s on Amazon for $130. Doesn’t seem to be discontinued?
It was on sale at the date of the recording of the video. Sale must have ended.
$300 on Amazon…
