In the grand scheme of things waiting 60 seconds for an instant print really isn’t that big of a deal, but when you’re used to having a print pop right out, and then waiting for it to develop, the wait time was cumbersome. It takes a full minute from the time the shutter is pressed to when the print is fully printed and released from the camera. With older Polaroid cameras and my Instax when you push the shutter it immediately takes the picture, so the lag was surprising to me. We worked it out and got used to it, but I did find it to be a challenge. There’s quite a long shutter lag, which can make it difficult to photograph kids, especially. The first time I used the camera I pushed the shutter and then moved the camera and ended up with a not so great image (see above). When comparing the performance of the Snap to other instant cameras, I found it to be lacking in a few areas, however. Basically, you’re getting a point and shoot with no control over your exposure, aperture or other things we expect with a more versatile camera. Instant print cameras have their limitations for sure. ![]() In general, the Snap performed as expected for an instant camera. I hope it helps you when deciding which instant camera is right for you.
