Selfie vs Huji Cam: one look or fifty?
Huji Cam is gloriously simple: one disposable-film look, a tiny viewfinder, done. It started the whole wave in 2018 and still does that one thing well, for free. Selfie is the maximal version of the same idea: 50+ looks, video, and simultaneous front-and-back capture.
TL;DR: For a free, zero-decision disposable look, Huji remains hard to argue with. The moment you want variety (film stocks, instant, VHS), video, or both cameras at once, you've outgrown it — that's the Selfie half of the comparison.
