We previously covered the announcement here but missed the press release for the Taylor Swift Instax SQ6 due to all the X-T3 and GFX 50R rumors flying. It looks like the cameras will also launch with Taylor Swift Instax branded film.
Most of you probably aren’t interested in this camera but maybe your kids or a loved one is and it will help grow Fujifilm’s brand with unfamiliar Taylor Swift fans. The camera will be available October 20th and limited Instax cameras like these sell out quickly around the holidays because they make good gifts, so stay tuned if you’re interested in securing one.
