Yah, only one of their square printers connect to x cameras directly, and it works great. I have no idea why they removed that functionality from the current printers.
@@davidedinoi3468 Yah, the sp printers are the only ones that will work, and they aren't being made any more. As far as I can tell the new link printers have to go through the app on a phone.
This camera will send all photos to phone, then you can select which to print. The Evo or Liplay will only let you send photos to your phone AFTER you print them...any photos not printed cannot be sent to your phone so that is a stupid limitation of those cameras. edited for typos
Hi , amazing, thank you for the nice review... I have a XT3 and I would like to start a RU-vid channel, what would be the best set up for RU-vid videos, I want to have a good résolution but still not to use to much memory... thank you
Let me say it for you who are brain damaged. FUJI. DOES. NOT. CARE. ABOUT. THE. PROFESSIONAL. INSTANT. FILM. MARKET. INSTAX. IS. MADE. TO. HAVE. FUN. FUJI. WILL. NOT. SPEND. MONEY. TO. MAKE. A CAMERA. FOR. A. TINY. MEASILY. MARKET. INSTAX. OUTSELLS. POLAROID. BY. A. WIDE. MARGIN. IF. YOU. ARE. A. PROFESSIONAL. BUY. A. FUCKING. PROFESSIONAL. CAMERA. Easy to understand? Did you digest it? Great.
Thanks for the video! I think, this is a big big waste of money and RnD für Fuji. Everyone takes photos like this with a smartphone. Wanna get teens away from their phones? Good luck... It's a cool, fun product for a few pics and then it collects dust on a shelf. 🤷♂
Can you take photos withthe intax pal and later pass it to the app or I need to connect to the app all the time? I couldn't get that on the review.like I go out take photos during the day (even with an extra memory card, and later I pass it to my phone
based on another review i saw, you can take photos without the app, but the camera is programmed to limit the number of photos stored on it to 50 (once there are 50 photos on the internal storage, you have to offload the photos, using a micro SD card will not increase the limit)
just another floop from fuji film, why the hell i dont print better photos with my phone ?!? FUji film, please, just make a new wide camera with more features, stop making shitty products, that nobody will buy
I have the Fuji Liplay, it's the same size as the mini link printer (if not smaller!), can take photo's, has a screen, micro sd and you can print from the phone. Practically everything the mini link and Pal can do but in one smaller more convenient package.
I thought the same thing until I found my liplay a hassle to bring since I don’t like beinging stuff with me in general. I switched to pal and had no regrets cause I only need to bring the small cam and just print my photos later on at home.
This is a fun camera, but I feel like it's limited in use when most cell phone cameras are better. As a selfie camera (as shown in advertising), I'm not really sure how to use it without a mirror to make sure you're in the shot.
It reminds me a lot of the Google Clips camera which was similarly useless when compared to a phone camera. I guess this is fun as a gimmick but it doesn't make sense at all to me functionally.
Great video. Just curious in how fast it would take to take photos on this thing in the spur of the moment. I feel like I always miss the perfect photo on vacations, because its a hassle to unlock my phone and run the camera app. If I have the Pal around me, am I more likely to capture photos faster than my phone?
Perfect for my 9 year old! The app accessibility is an upgrade and fun for kids. If only it was waterproof! Yes I liked your comment at the end about encouraging young kids/adults to access fun without the use of a smart phone. 💯
I’m not hot on that design. It would’ve made more sense to put the shutter button on top, instead of power, and power on the back. That move to hit the shutter button looks very uncomfortable. The app looks nice, though.
@@Adrian-wd4rn Yes, what child doesn’t mind struggling with a button on the back of a tiny camera that will make the camera pop out of their hand when they press it.
How does it compare, image quality wise, to the Instax Evo? I know neither are geared for outstanding performance but I'm interested if this has the same sensor or even better given its newer design
if you won't send the photos directly to printer (Link Mode) and you have your phone and its much superior camera, then what's the point of connecting this little camera to your phone and take the photos by controlling via phone? it's not sarcasm, i am seriously asking, am i missing something?
Nope, it's not a camera that people need. Fuji is trying to milk their instax line as much as possible with this product by creating an "instax ex=cosystem". The "F" feature is kind of pointless whith a smartphone but even the 'L" feature (wich print shots before you can even frame them) is an absolute positive for the manufacturer but kind of a nightmare for a potential client (way to many ways to screw up the shot)... It has kind of interesting ideas but, boy this seems gimmicky.
@@showdaKOs The lack of any kind of mirror for selfies is what gets me. I can conceivably see the target demographic using this for group photos in a pinch (it is simpler to use than a phone) but there's no way to frame yourself without using the app as a remote. For the trendy, younger demographic Fuji is going for with the Instax line, this camera is not more convenient nor higher quality than using a cell phone with a Link printer. It's almost like this thing would have needed a very high quality sensor to justify using it over a phone, or maybe at least some video options?
Thank you for this really comprehensive video, I just saw this camera online and found your video first in my youtube search. It's a great novelty item but you brought up some good points to think about when using it, like having to use the camera to take the photo, and then moving to the phone and then the printer (I know this is how it normally works when taking photos on a dslr and then moving to your computer and then printing it). I have an HP Sprocket photo printer which has its own shortcomings, but it's great for printing photos straight from your phone and not having to use an external gadget to take the photo, it's all happening within one gadget ie the phone. I also think the sprocket looks better and is sleeker than the mini link. Thanks again for this video, it's hard to come by tech information that keeps it simple, quick and interesting.
Really good introduction. It will definitely be my toy if it includes something that the smart phone cannot easily be replaced. Such as having time-lapse for say, 1 shot per hour, or even 1 shot per day. Wait for its improvement.
Does it need your phone and/or printer for it to work? Can I leave my phone at home or far away and take many pictures to check them later when I’m close again to my phone?
Would like to ask will the auto print works with the first gen instax mini link? Or will i need it in fun mode and send it to the mini link app to print?
A bit of criticism here, please stop saying doubt words when talking about facts, first it was the "sort of like this" with the sound when turning it on, then it was the "about" with the aperture.. Is it "about" f2.2 or exactly f2.2 Otherwise it's totally a good video:)
a very informative and useful sharing, especially you mentioned what I doubted - why do I need it if I have already got the printer n mobile phone. and thanks for sharing the shortcoming especially about the L mode. heard that it's about us$199, guess it is still worth buying for fun, especially for group photos with friends and family. the quality of fujifilm products is good, the instax products with me are still in very good conditions. thanks for the analysis ❤
I disagree regarding the film. Polaroid film was always much better than Instax film, instax was available when Polaroid were still in production. In terms of sharpness and colour richness, Polaroid was definitely superior, especially with the folding SLR and Spectra cameras. Polaroid film now is not the film I am referring to, I am talking about original (real) Polaroid film.
