Instant Cameras

Instant cameras are devices that capture and print photographs immediately after taking a picture. They use specialized film that develops automatically outside the camera, providing a physical print within minutes. Unlike digital cameras, which store images electronically, instant cameras offer a tangible, instant keepsake of a moment. They are popular for their nostalgic appeal and spontaneity, making photography more immediate and personal. Modern instant cameras often incorporate digital features as well, but their hallmark remains the instant, hard-copy photo produced right at the moment of capturing the image.
