While digital cameras and smartphone cameras are pretty much all the rage at the moment, there appears to still be a market for film cameras, which is why we have seen cameras from the likes of Lomography and Fujifilm continue to flourish, and if you’re after a new film camera, Fujifilm has recently announced the Instax mini 9.

This is the latest in Fujifilm’s instant print series of film cameras and unlike some of the company’s other film cameras, this actually comes with a tiny selfie mirror on the front, thus allowing you to ensure that you and/or your subject are in the frame when taking selfies. Given that it uses film, safe to say the redos and retakes will be a very expensive process, so getting it right on the first shot is important.

Other than that, the Instax mini 9 is similar in functionality compared to the other Instax cameras, where it will be able to snap and photo a print it out on the spot. You will of course need to buy the Instax films to use together with the camera, but if you love scrapbooking or if you just prefer physical photos over digital ones, this could be one way to go about getting it.

The Instax mini 9 will be available in April in the US and Canada for $70 where it will also be available in a bunch of different colors.
