EDMONTON, CANADA. (January 2011). In 2011, the bear is still king :) ... and the love affair with instant cameras continues. Is the Fujifilm Instax 210 instant camera the modern-day Polaroid? Purists balk that Fuji's Instax film is almost too good and, therefore, lacks soul. I tend to disagree - the fun, heart, and instant gratification of seeing a photo develop right before your eyes certainly aren't lost on these new Fujis, and this is what matters.
