Spontaneous shots are among the most special ways to capture a memory on film. Sometimes. The problem is a spontaneous shot can develop poorly almost just as often, especially if you're trying to capture motion.

The appeal of instant photography is no secret. With the press of a shutter button, you're just a few seconds away from holding a physical image – one you can share with friends right away, without messing around with Bluetooth or the Cloud. Packs of instant film can be expensive, though.

Take as many photos as you like and only print the best; Add creative Instagram-like effects in-camera; Digital backup means you can keep shooting once you're out of film

No wireless connectivity for easy sharing; Digital image quality no better than a smartphone; Creative modes a little cumbersome to use

The film is really great quality and the perfect size and shape.

There are other purely analog instant cameras that use the Instax Square film format. Our favorites include the Lomography Lomo'Instant Square and the Fujifilm Instax Square SQ6 . You can also opt for the larger, more classic Polaroid format with the OneStep 2 or OneStep+ .

The Instax Square SQ20 is Fujifilm's latest instant camera. Making its debut at Photokina towards the end of 2018, it follows on from the previous year's Instax SQ10 – the first "hybrid" Instax camera.

I love it a lot I'm enjoying this camera and it's features

Our hands-on early verdict of Fujifilm's new hybrid instant camera...

Simple to apply effects; Frame-by-frame video grabbing; No-risk printing

Bland colors; Limited creative effects; Not a huge upgrade on the SQ10

A true hybrid camera, the SQ20 is even more flexible than its predecessor thanks to smart additions like video capture, digital zoom and Instagram-style filters. The design isn't as exciting as some rivals, and being able to preview your pics before printing might feel like cheating to instant camera purists, but it's still an effective stepping stone between digital and analogue photography.

Fujifilm didn't make a lot of changes to its second-generation digital/film hybrid camera. The Instax SQ20 ($199.95) is a warmed over version of the SQ10. It adds a video function—a seemingly odd choice for a camera able to print instant photos—but doesn't make many other changes. It does come in at a lower starting price, one that's more competitive with the purely analog Instax Square models on the market. It's a good camera to get if you want the convenience of shooting digital with the charm of making analog prints, but we wish its video features were a bit easier to use, and that its image sensor was better. Familiar Form The SQ20 ($199.95 at Amazon) doesn't stray too far from the design of the SQ10 ($159.00 at Amazon) , but it's not a clone either. The general shape and size is about the same, 2.0 by 4.7 by 5.0 inches (HWD). The form factor is almost square, but the edges are rounded; they give the SQ20 an attractive silhouette, and also make it more comfortable to hold than...

The Fujifilm Instax Square SQ20 is an updated version of the SQ10 with video, but the new feature isn't very useful, and other aspects of the camera have been downgraded.
