Bringing the old cameras into the fun modern 21st century FujiFilm Instax Pal
FujiFilm has given us the chance to play with the FujiFilm Instax Pal. The FujiFilm Instax Pal is a small cute camera that can be the camera man for all your parties. In combination with a FujiFilm Instax printer and you get those nostalgic polaroid photos that take you back in time.
