Hello, @3:35 you say it is possible to connect the SP3 to a computer to print. I cannot find any information about it in your video dedicated to the SP3 nor in the manual. Are you sure it is possible? I'm asking because I'm hesitating between the Square Link and the SP3, and this feature could be interesting. Thank you in advance.

The iPadOS INSTAX Wide app will side-load on Apple Silicon Macs and allow you to print from your Mac to the Wide INSTAX printer via Bluetooth. I don’t know about the Square, but I would hope it acts the same.

@Rocky-AR

I wish they developed all three at the same time. All USB-C and one app. It looks like a juggle for Fuji app developers. I also prefer the texture, flat edges, and dark gray color of the Link Wide.

Having a hard time deciding between all the instax's,Kodak Mini 2 Retro, polaroid hi-print and the canon selphy qx10, what's your take gordon? I want to use them to print out the portraits I shoot of the models to take home a photo after the shoot is done, which would you recommend for this? I'd like the photos to last them awhile and have them to be able to look back on them for memories.

Get one of the INSTAX printers, and the choice is based on the shape of your photos.

Hi Gordon, first of all a great and thorough review. I was wondering, if you think there is still merit in getting the SP-3 over the Square Link if I would buy one now (new)? Personally I prefer the design of the sp-3 and the added bonus of having lights showing how much film is left. However if Fuji pulls the plug on the SP-3 app in a year it might turn out to be a waste of money. Do you think there is any danger of that and would the SP-3 still be a safe choice in your opinion?
@SpaceShipDee
@SpaceShipDee Год назад
I bought a SP3 from Amazon and have used it over the last few days but will be returning it and grabbing the Square Link. Wifi connectivity is such a hassle and it doesn't always connect first go. It's also a hassle if you're the DJ at a party and you need to disconnect from the Wifi network to print shots (happened this weekend) Also the SP3 app hasn't been updated in over 2 years and looks + feels much more clunky than the modernised app for the Square Link.
@cameralabs
@cameralabs Год назад
Hmmm, that is a valid concern about the app, I'll ask them, but otherwise, if you don;'t mind the wifi connection, it's a solid choice.

Hello Gordon, thanks for another great review. I may purchase one of these in favour of the SP3 (preferred option as it prints direct from camera - the downside how much longer film will be available). Curious about instax connect, does this store the image online? Please explain more as I'm unable to find info about Connect.
@cameralabs
@cameralabs Год назад
The Sp3 uses the same instax square film as this new printer. The film isn't going anywhere. The connect thing is very new, but as I said in the video, they expire after a short while, so it's not for achieve, only casual quick messaging.

This sounds like a downgrade from the older ones Bluetooth for printing instead of wifi even though wifi is better at transferring files. Removal of direct from camera printing. Different apps for every single printer.

I agree the different apps and direct camera printing is frustrating. BUT the Bluetooth connectivity is actually fine for the data transferred, as since it eliminates the slower handshake of Wifi, the process is similar in overall speed, maybe a bit faster.
