What BBN said about it

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentFujifilm has a new Instax Square 2, an instant camera that skips digital features entirely, The Verge reports.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIt follows the Square SQ6 from twenty eighteen, and adds a mood filter switch that slides one of two colored filters over your photo.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the filter is a physical switch. I want it already.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentPros: no battery percentage to fear, no software update, and no app asking for your birthday.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentCons: the filter picks your mood for you, and the photo is square, like a coaster.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA coaster you can frame.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThree and a half stars.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentAnd a camera with no digital brain can't be listening, which is exactly what a listening camera would want me to think.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFour stars, then. For the paranoia.
