How can you start out with some affordable film photography? Shooting 35mm Film Photography can be a great option for beginner photographers who want to dip their toes in an analogue style. With more budget friendly costs when compared to medium format photography, combined with the unique image results, it's an ultra exciting format to get started on. In this video, we used Reto's point and shoot cameras to show the quality of results you can get with even the most budget friendly option.

![Fujifilm Instax SQ10 vs. SQ20 Instant Camera | Worth The Upgrade?
Hi Focus Fam, Veronica here. Today, weâre comparing the new Fujifilm Instax SQ20 to the SQ10 instant camera. Letâs start with what these two cameras have in common before we dive into the differences.
First and foremost, both the SQ10 and SQ20 are hybrid digital and instant film cameras. They both have a built-in memory of about 50 images and a slot for a memory card so you can shoot till you drop.
When youâre ready to print, both cameras use INSTAX SQUARE Film, so if you do end up upgrading from the SQ10 to the SQ20, you wonât have to invest in new film too.
As for for the interface, the 10 and 20 have dual left and right shutter release buttons as well as a built-in flash.
Ok, now letâs get to the good stuff: external UI differences.
The first thing that hits you is how much sleeker the SQ20 is compared to the SQ10. The SQ20 is slightly lighter, more compact and, in my opinion, just better looking.
However, with that streamlining comes a few sacrifices.
First, the SQ20 has a smaller screen reduced from 3 inches to 2.7 inches with half the pixels; the SQ10 has 460 pixels and the SQ20 has 230 pixels .
Second, you canât replace the SQ 20âs battery, you have to charge the whole camera. This is a huge pain if youâre out shooting, your battery dies and you have nowhere to casually charge this thing. You could take a power bank with you, but thatâs less convenient than being able to immediately use a second pre-charged battery.
Third, the SQ10 has a tripod mount and the 20 doesnât. This wonât affect more casual users, but if you want to take long-exposure shots this will be problematic.
Finally, the buttons on the SQ10 are a bit bigger than on the latest model. Will this make a huge difference to how you shoot with this camera? No, probably not. But itâs still something we lost with the size change of the 20.
One feature weâre relieved the SQ20 does not come with is the auto/manual switch. [point for SQ20] A problem that we repeatedly run into with the SQ10 is that when you leave it on Auto and put it in your bag, the shutter button gets pressed and you end up printing a lot of really dark pictures of nothing. Also, who is buying a Fujifilm Instax instant for automatic shooting if the purpose is to print later.
The last UI change might not matter to some of the more serious photographers out there, but let me tell you something: taking a selfie with an instant camera is awkward. [Riff on why]. The SQ20 has a built-in selfie mirror for people who donât want to waste time repeatedly taking a photo of themselves which is also, letâs face it, kind of embarrassing.
The Instax SQ10 is barely in the lead, so weâll see if the SQ20 can redeem itself with internal feature and spec updates.
Letâs start with photo effects. For those of you interested in mixing up your social media content, the SQ20 has some fun new shooting settings including a time shift collage, image sequencing, and frame grab. This is a big upgrade from the SQ10 which is only capable of double exposure and a few bulb modes.
Speaking of Frame Grab, the SQ20 now lets you film a video up to 15 seconds long and then pick which frame or frames you want to print. This is an incredible feature for never missing a moment.
Next, thereâs the CMOS sensor. The SQ20 has a 1/5 sensor while the SQ10 has a 1/4. This isnât a huge difference, but a bigger CMOS sensor is preferable and this point goes to the SQ10. The larger the sensor, the better the low-light performance and dynamic range. It can also affect resolution. But, again, the size difference here is so slight that they both produce 1920 x 1920 pixel images.
Finally, the zoom. The Fujifilm Instax SQ20 has a respectable 4x digital zoom. This is exactly 4x better than the Instax SQ10 which has no zoom at all.
