In the not too distant past, most agency producers and claims adjusters had an instant camera with them at all times. Digital cameras have replaced most of these older cameras, but there are still times when an instant photo can be useful. To serve this need, Fujifilm has released its Instax 200 Instant Film Camera and Instax Instant Color Film in the United States.

For years, the instant photo system has enjoyed great success among customers in Asia and Europe. As availability of instant film has declined, Fujifilm has received an influx of requests from photographers in healthcare, law enforcement, insurance, real estate, and other industries to make the complete Instax instant photo system available to U.S. customers.

The Instax instant photo system includes: LCD control panel displaying focal distance and film count; programmed electronic shutter, 1/64-1/200 sec; automatic flash for low-light shooting; two-range selectable shooting options; and sharp, vivid, super fine grain prints. The Instax 200 is available through dealers and photo labs that support the professional photography market, at a list price of $70.
