{new camera swoon}

I've been dying to show you my new camera but I had to wait until it actually arrived. he he. So today from Tokyo... live and in person, my new Fuji Instax Instant Camera. But it's not just any camera, it's an instant camera that gives me a business card sized snap of the image within seconds. I bought it to photograph my shoes to post on the exterior of my shoe boxes but now I have a few other projects in mind so stay tuned! :)

I can't wait to bring it with me to London in August to take some photos. I'm only in London for the day so I'll have to snap fast! :)

{5/26 9:48 PM UPDATE} Wow, I cannot believe the response this camera is getting. I've been flooded with tweets and emails all day since posting this. Okay so here are the deets if you want one:

Seller on eBay: UniqJapan

Model: Fuji Instant Mini 7S "Last Model" - The last model part is important to note when you buy this camera. The earlier models did not have settings - This one, the "last model" as he calls it which means "latest model" has four settings, cloudy/indoors/sunny/little sun. I think it's pretty nifty to get it with these settings.

Cost: I won it for $132.50 US Dollars. I think you can "Buy it Now" for about $10-15 more.

Shipping: Was VERY fast. It came within a week from Tokyo to New Hampshire. It's not some Made in China knock off. It's the real deal. It was $37 to ship.

Goodies: The camera came with batteries, an English instruction sheet that the seller made himself, original packaging, and 11 packs of film, 10 pictures per pack. He also tossed in a darling little Winnie the Pooh photo album sized especially for these photos (they are the size of business cards). He also threw in a brand new camera bag with tags in light blue. So cute!

Oct 14, 2009 Update: Seems Urban Outfitters felt the buzz about these little guys because now they carry them too. You can get yours here. And film too.
