Instant film cameras and printers make great gifts, and Fujifilm Instax models are always popular for the holidays. For Black Friday through Cyber Monday, you can save $70 on the Fujifilm Instax Share SP-3, one of the best mobile photo printers you can buy. Normally $179, the SP-3 is now down to under $110, the best price we’ve seen.

Why buy the Fujifilm Instax Share SP-3?

The Fujifilm Instax Share SP-3 Printer connects to your phone or other mobile device other Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and prints your digital images to 2.4 x 2.4-inch Instax instant film. This square format is ideal for printing out your Instagram posts and is larger than the Instax Mini film used in other Instax Printers like the Mini LiPlay. Select your best pictures from your smartphone and simply transfer the photos via the Instax mobile app to the SP-3. The app lets you add text, split the photo, make a collage, or add a filter to your images.

The Share SP-3 combines the immediacy of an instant camera with the flexibility of a digital camera, allowing you to print only your best photos and avoid wasting film. Instax Square film is not exactly cheap, but you can find good deals on it this time of year. We like the black-border film, available in a 10-sheet box for just over $11 right now on Amazon but Fujifilm has many other varieties worth checking out.

Black Friday deals on Instax cameras

While none of the other Instax deals offer quite as much in savings, if you want an instant camera — not just a printer — there are several models that are discounted right now. Of these, the biggest savings are on the Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic which is $50 off, bringing the price to $120. The Mini 90 is one of the best-looking instant cameras on the market, with a real retro vibe and black, brown, or red faux leather finishes to choose from.

Other Instax cameras see smaller discounts. The Instax Mini LiPLay, which combines a digital camera with an Instax Mini printer, is $140 ($10 off) and includes a free pack of rainbow-border film and a 16GB MicroSD memory card. The Instax Mini 9 is down to $50 with the same rainbow film, but B&H Photo is selling it in a holiday gift set that includes a pack of film, wallet album, and two clipboards for $70, the normal price of the camera alone.

Be sure to check out all the Black Friday camera deals for more savings and gift ideas.

The FCC’s latest crackdown could put more than DJI drones at risk in the US
Robot, Person, Face

DJI may have found creative ways to keep some of its products flowing into the US, but those efforts are now drawing increased attention from regulators. According to The Verge, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has started cracking down on several companies it believes could be helping DJI continue selling products in the country. These businesses have been described by industry observers as "DJI front companies" because they market or import products that appear to be closely tied to the Chinese drone maker while operating under different brand names.

I bought Kodak’s viral keychain camera, and the bad photos are part of its charm
The Kodak Charmera is barely a camera, and I still keep using it
Machine, Wheel, Camera

I bought the Kodak Charmera partly because I wanted a portable digital camera, and partly because I wanted a pretty little collectible. The Charmera is sold as a blind box, so you do not know which version you are getting until the box is opened. There are multiple retro Kodak-style designs, plus a transparent secret edition that looks like the one everyone would want.

I had the shopkeeper pick my box for better luck, and it worked out. I got the yellow variant, which is inspired by Kodak's original 80s disposable camera. The transparent one is definitely the fun collector’s piece, but the yellow model feels like the proper Kodak version. It looks like a tiny toy camera that escaped from a souvenir shop, found a keyring, and now hangs around wherever you go.

Yashica's new camera makes toy photography more fun
YASHICA Funtastic Keychain Camera in multiple variants

Tiny digital cameras are all the rage, and Yashica is now offering a very cute toy photography experience of its own. The company’s new Funtastic Keychain Camera is exactly what the name suggests, a miniature digital camera small enough to clip onto your keys, bag, or lanyard. The popular Kodak Charmera is the obvious comparison, which brings a tiny blind-box keychain camera that became a viral collectible.

Now, Yashica's version lands in the same novelty-camera lane, but adds one very useful trick, which is a 180-degree flip screen.
