pictures of you, pictures of me...

Finally, something came in the mail for me...
My new instax 210 by Fujifilm!
I was excited to get my hands on this as the photos are twice the size of my instax mini 7s.


I first got into instant photos a few years back when I bought my mini 7s in Singapore on a holiday. Back then no one really had one. Since then pretty much most people have got one within this year as it's become more popular.

Even though I love my mini and people ALWAYS comment on it whenever I get it out, the photos can be too small.

This is where my 210 comes in! It takes great wide shots and the picture size is fantastic.
My only quibble with it is the size!
The camera is a BEAST. When I revealed it to the family, everyone was like, "WHOAH. It's HUMONGOUS".
Yes unfortunately it is...hopefully they will make a thinner version sometime. So I don't think I will be putting it in my handbag much.
Also I wish it came in a better colour than black. But that's just me.
Other than that, it's pretty impressive and far more techy it's sister the mini with increased settings and macro settings.
For all those who are interested, it cost me about $70-80 with shipping and I bought the film on ebay from someone in HK.

I'm keenly awaiting my new purchase...a kindle!!! Can't wait...
