I bought this camera to rekindle my teenage romance with instant photography. In our new post-Polaroid world, I went in search of film to feed my now orphaned SX-70 and/or my pack film cameras and decided that the price was now at silly money per shot level. I remembered the Fuji camera line. I have several Fuji pro film cameras (medium format) and they are wonderful to use. Some are now too valuable to use (the 6X17)but I still grab the 645 when I need a compact rangefinder with great glass.
The Instax 210 is what happens when the Polaroid Swinger and the SX-70 make babies. It is funky and cheap feeling like the old toylike Swinger and clever and motorized like the SX-70.
Wahtever you think of the design, it works well and after some playing around, it makes a decent Polaroid comparable image.
Good things:
Plentiful and cheap film supply from many sources.
AA batteries power the thing. No chance that those will be hard to find.
Simple controls that are easy to use once you get the idiosyncratic operation.
Bad things:
The idiosyncratic operation. The stupid thing powers up in the close up mode. You need to check the controls before each and every shot.
Color dye depth (for the film) is not quite at the surreal oversaturated level of the newer Polacolor consumer films. It is much more subdued bordering on pastel.
No choice of film types or speeds. You get ISO 800 desaturated color whether you want it or not.
Bottom line: If you require a serious phographic tool bring a D3x. If you want a cheap fun unusual and nostalgic camera that you can still buy film for....this camera is a real hoot, but bring the D3x (or similar spec Canon) in case you need to make frameable pictures.
One last point for instant imaging cameras like this one: If you need to document something (example; for legal purposes) this is the way to go. It is very difficult to copy- alter-and reshoot an Instax picture without detection. Meaning: this is a good way to create a non-photoshoppable image if that is what you need.

I like it a lot but its hard to find the film and a lot harder to find it in mexico and its expensive. i dont like the size, i would love it if it was smaller but with the same film format. and i dont like that what you see isnt what you take, would like it more if the view was closer to the lens.

Comments about Fujifilm Instax 210 Instant Film Camera:
Although this is the only model there is for instant pictures, besides the minis, it is a good buy. The feeling of taking a picture and seeing right after printed in a paper is priceless.
What is not so good about it, in my opinion, is its design: it's too big and not so comfortable. Another thing is that the view-finder is too far away from the lens, which won't show you the exact cut of the picture you will take. There aren't many features in the camera as well, basically, you point and shoot. You cannot see the focus through the view-finder, since it has no mirror to the lens, so you have to choose from three different focus range and guess how distant you are from the subject and try it, at least you will see if you got it right right away. Another thing that is missing, and, for me, it is really bad that they don't have it, is the feature to turn the flash off: you can only set it to fire all the time or to automatically fire whenever the camera finds it necessary, so, most of the times, I have to cover the flash with something so it won't interfere in the subject when I don't want it.
I would recommend this camera to you only if you want to have some artistic feelings in photography. It is not good for exact photographs. But, as I said, it is great to see the picture coming out instantly, and the camera has a good price.

Comments about Fujifilm Instax 210 Instant Film Camera:
I've been using a whole assortment of instant cameras over the last couple of years. Most of them are older Polaroids that I use for shooting Impossible film (which yields interesting results, but the pictures only last a couple of months before they begin to fade and the film is insanely expensive). I also have a Polaroid Z340 which I really do like - but that one is digital and doesn't shoot real film, although the results on Zink photo paper are comparable to older Polaroids in terms of quality and durability).
Enter the Instax 210 - the last REAL instant camera that is still available (and hopefully will be for a long time). Fujifilm's instant film is absolutely fabulous - much better than Polaroid ever was. The pictures are as good as normal prints - but you get them instantaneously, rather than having to wait for processing or printing them out at home. The camera looks quirky, but it's great to hold and the large format makes it stick out at parties etc. I essentially bought the camera for taking family pictures. I do that - but apart from that, I catch myself carrying it around all the time. I even use it for my wedding photo business - my clients absolutely love getting some of the pictures right on their special day. This actually generates business for me - I've had clients who called me and specifically asked whether I'd use the instant camera they had seen at their friends weddings.
I can only recommend it - it's durable, looks funny (in a good way), the pictures are great and the prints are reasonably priced, considering that Polaroid prints used to cost about double as much and now (with the Impossible film) are about 5 times more expensive.

Comments about Fujifilm Instax 210 Instant Film Camera:
Wonderful for get-togethers--I take pictures (everyone says, "Wow! A Polaroid!" and smiles) then tell people to take home whichever ones they want. Invariably, none are left!
Pictures are quite good--not great qality, but more than adequate for snapshots.
The camera is a trifle large, but it's onethelss reasonably comfortable to wield.

Easy to use point&shoot instant film camera.
Basic settings with consistently good results.
Close-up / self portrait lense is a nice gimmick.
Be aware: This is a fairly big, chunky piece of equipment...

Comments about Fujifilm Instax 210 Instant Film Camera:
I bought this camera for my daughter's Birthday since she really liked my Polaroid SX 70 and she really loves her Fuji.
It is fairly big, so keep that in mind. But my daughter actually likes this feature since she likes to watch the picture develop before her eyes and she is taking more time to compose an image.
Overall, I highly recommend the Instax 210. The only draw-back it has is the availability of the film. It isn't something you can pick-up at a local store so you have to plan accordingly.

My 86 year old Dad wanted an instant camera so he could take pictures of his family and friends. This camera was just what he wanted: easy to use, large enough for him to hold, point, and shoot, and instant gratification of seeing his pictures. He loves it.

I use the product in compilation photography (think along the lines of Hockney) and for fun shots. Reminiscent of the Polaroid camera but it is quite bulky, something that isn't seen from the photo so that was a suprise.
