About the Fujifilm Instax 210 polaroid camera:

The ‘Fujifilm Instax 210’ is a huge polaroid camera creating photo’s of about twice the size of a credit card. It’s especially suited to photograph landscapes or larger groups of people. I took the camera with me on trips to Peru and Denmark.

Size: 178.5×117.5×94.5 mm
Weight: 610 gram without battery
Picture size: 62 x 99 mm (price per picture about 0,85 USD)
Price: About 60 USD

What I love:
  • The large size and good quality of the photographs
  • Two different focus ranges
  • Easy to use (also for starting polaroid photographers)
  • Comfortable and steady grip
  • The lighten-darken control options
  • (It also has a close-up lens, but I haven’t used this yet.)

 If I was the boss of Fujifilm, I would improve:
  • The look. Although, the camera grip is comfortable, the camera look is a bit ‘boring’. Ok, I’d even say ugly (sorry, Mr. designer).
  • The electronic flash button. I would love to have the option to the turn off the flash.
  • The battery door. I have had two Fujifilm Instax 210 polaroid camera’s and in both camera’s the plastic battery doors came loose. I reckon in time I will have to attach the doors with tape or something.
Instead of the Fujifilm Instax 210 polaroid camera you could also buy …
  • For example: the Polaroid Z2300 10MP Digital Instant Print Camera (about 180 USD). These photos don’t have the traditional polaroid look though.
Bunch of Backpackers final verdict:

The Fujifilm Instax 210 polaroid camera is a rather ugly, bulky camera, but it has two important advantages: beautiful, large photos and a fair price. The camera is also far from perfect to take on your travels due to its size, but the photos were worth it.

I took the Fujifilm Instax 210 with me to Peru and created this portrait photo essay :)

I also have a smaller polaroid camera. Read the review here.
