Fuji needs to do an update to allow ALL their cameras with bluetooth to print directly to the various Instax Link printers. Printing pics from phone is nice, BUT also printing direct from camera would be SO useful.

@Tige4 Год назад

you can actually print straight from camera if you have a couple brain cells, not that hard👍

@torinsall Год назад

@@Tige4 XS10 says you can print direct from camera. Folks with other cameras such as X100V, XT4, Xt3 have said they couldn't print direct to Instax Link printers but first had to send photos to phone then send to printer from phone. Apparently they could print direct camera to Instax Share printers, but not to instax Link printers, so not sure what changed from one line to the other.

@PutsOnSneakers Год назад

@@Tige4 brain cells don't manifest firmware changes to create compatibility where the manufacturer hasn't made it possible to do so

@juergenska Год назад

You are so right :-) This is the reason why I still keep my older SP3. This one prints over WLAN.

@ianroe1076 Год назад

I love these instax printers, though I'm not sure i'll ever have a good use for one. I always find it funny that Fujifilm's camera development department is tasked to create the most powerful APSC cameras on the market, high performance medium format cameras, and gimmicky film printers.

@alanbrunelle1546 Год назад

Can you use the standard Fuji -> phone app to load pictures from a camera, and then use those photos with the Instax square? I'm assuming so - it's a bother to bounce an extra step...

@paulm8157 Год назад

How about this for a work-around: attach SD card reader,usb-C (e.g.) adapter to your smartphone? Then import the target files from the SD card to your photo gallery/app - should work for JPEGs. Some smartphones can recognize Fuji raw files and do “save as” to DNG.

@usablellc6735 Год назад

I was just about to order one until I saw that it won't print from my X-T2. What a missed opportunity! Imagine, you're on location, you take a picture, give it to someone nearby and on it is a QR code linking to your website. That's something that would definitely grow traffic!

@showdaKOs Год назад

You can upload your pics fist to your phone and then print from there. 2 problems with that: one small, it take more time The second is a bigger one, you need to use the fuji Camera Remote app... But, I do it most of the time anyway to share my photos on social media or with people, and it allow me to review my photos on the much better screen of my phone

@b3arodactyl Год назад

Agreed, would be so cool if you could customize a QR code with it or go directly from the camera

@TheCoomer Год назад

Have a look at the old printers

@gaetanomagliuolo Год назад

👍👍👍👍great

@Only_and_Lulu Год назад

I have a Share SP2 and with that unit I can print directly from my X-T3 (jpegs) How odd that you can't do this with the latest printer! Perhaps the functionality will be added if enough noise is made 😁

@bfs5113 Год назад

Since it is a printer and not an Instant camera that incorporated image capturing features, I prefer my Instax wide instead. One reviewer mentioned that the wider prints are more suitable for viewing by older folks drove the final nail in my decision to pick the Instax Wide.

@jorgepietersz Год назад

I'm just sad that the new printers don't work with the new fuji camera's. doesn't feel like an upgrade since it just adds more steps (camera->phone->printer) and slows things down at events. Plus it was nice to show integration between different products of the same company. Idk why Fujifilm did this.

@blazerbarrel2 Год назад

Images From other digital cameras is what we need !

@juergenska Год назад

This little device is really amazing. I prefer the older version SP3 personally. The print quality is the same, but you can also print directly from your Fuji Camera. (e.g. X-E4)

@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench Год назад

I have the X-T30 mk2, how do you print directly? Do you mean connect my camera to the app, then after that, connect printer ?

@Baeyonetta. 11 месяцев назад

What about the XT-4 ?

@juergenska 11 месяцев назад

The newer version connects to the phone via bluetooth, and don’t work with the camera. The older version connects via the cameras WiFi. It’s in the cameras seatings in my XE-4.

@depredanoobcod8278 4 месяца назад

@pal2tech aHello, im form spain and a big fan!! Can it be used with a Fujifilm camera now? or still only with the phone? Thanks!

@gwaping75 Год назад

can you combine more than 1 AR mode?

@peterjones4935 Год назад

I can link my XT3 photos to my phone, surely I could then print these?? Or is the Fuji instax app not talking to my phone photos???

@marcusmcd1610 Год назад

Just fyi... the older InstaSHARE fuji printers (the SP series)... Not the current InstaLINK printers.. actually do connect and allow you to print directly from your recent fuji cameras...and it works well. WHY fuji discontinued this feature in the newer InstaLINK printers I do not know and I would love to find out... The instaSHARE printers also print from your phone as well.

@showdaKOs Год назад

Very cool, I definitively want an Instax but I am on the fence about this one or the 2... I prefer the longer format but the square is bigger (and with usb), but the prints are also more expensive. Tough choice

@msandersen Год назад

There's the Instax Wide; twice as wide as the mini, larger than Square, rectangular format.

@showdaKOs Год назад

@@msandersen forgot about the wide! I'll go and check if it's USB C

@deputydd4364 Год назад

Thanks for the review. One question, I have the SP-3 printer and love and it uses the same film AND connects directly to my Fuji cameras. Is there any print quality improvement on this newer printer? Thanks!

@joelb727 Год назад

Gordon Laing reviewed and stated no quality difference. The square link only adds AR and "rich print" mode.

@paulasimson4939 Год назад

Oh, what a miss that you can't print from your camera! If it did that, I'd be tempted to get it.

@villagranvicent Год назад

Many complain about not being able to print straight from their cameras. Simply send the picture to your phone and voilá! Not a big deal. (Besides the SP printers get disconnected all the time)

@PutsOnSneakers Год назад

"Simply" lol time and effort are both relative to each individuals experience. one can't state that time and effort is a matter of "simplicity". it's a hassle going from one device to another device to reach the goal of reaching the third device.

@SmartyButtz Год назад

i assume since its blue tooth i can print from my mac?

@MikeVrobel Год назад

Do you know when the release date is? I've been using the older square printer with my Fujifilm cameras for years, and the USB-C alone made this an instant-buy...but my B&H preorder just says "coming soon". Did Fujifilm America give you a release date?

@pal2tech Год назад

I'm not sure. It was available from what I saw, then it got put back into 'coming soon'. Something up w/ supply chain, as the XT5 also is now announced to be in short supply.

@stevew7779 Год назад

Sadly I haven't found a Fuji (or any) instant printer yet that would suit me. I shoot and edit various formats for street work and don't want to be constrained to one layout, while none of the printers seem flexible enough to let you leave black space around the image in a usable way. The cost of cartridges is crazy too when you can send off to Fuji for better prints for about a fifth of the sheet cost - and I want to print from my laptop or camera, not worth having to transfer to my phone. Filmora is great though, use it a lot and it does most (not all) if what I need easier and faster than other programmes.

@enditend2 Год назад

Share SP 3 was disconnecting on me all the time , will get this day one! no wifi required!!! only bluetooth

@kakurbadaph 5 месяцев назад

Hi, nice review. I just want to ask about the AR print, does the person who scans the QR code need to download the instax app for them to see the AR feature? Or they can just use the scan feature of their phone without downloading the app? Much appreciated video

@michaelbell75 2 месяца назад

They need to have the app obviously

@traceybartlam7737 Год назад

I was literally researching these type of printers today! What a missed trick that it doesn’t work with the cameras. I saw Instax printer connection setting in the camera menu and had assumed (pre research) that it would be compatible

@msandersen Год назад

It does with the old printers; they switched away from Bluetooth in the newer models.

@traceybartlam7737 Год назад

@@msandersen thanks - and why Fuji, why?! 😂

@VintageInsightPhotography Год назад

Really on the fence with this printer. I’d pull the trigger IF I could print directly from my Fujifilm camera. I want to be able to give street photography prints on the spot. Transferring to my phone and then printing would take the subject out of the moment. @Fujifilm, fix this please!

@robertmartin2898 Год назад

The FUJI app seems to be available for the majority non Apple , Android(80% phones). Check today, the printer is not yet available in Canada

@BABA-ws5eo 10 месяцев назад

I'm sure it wouldn't take them much effort to make these print straight from the fuji cameras in addition to printing from phones. If you are shooting with a fuji, what good is involving your phone? That just slows things way down, and creates a big hassle.

@MarcSThe1St Год назад

@Karim_sketchbook Год назад

Personally I wouldn't recommand the printer, I tried it yesterday in a Fuji event in Milan. The film quality looks the same as the one from the Instax Mini I have, but the print quality is better if the picture comes directly from the camera. I noticed some weird alteration in shadows and colors in the test prints that I made from my phone with the app.

It’s like something Canon would do. Also… this may be the ugliest design of any product I’ve ever seen.

because these photo printers are a gimmick, the logistics behind producing and distributing refills (film paper) is an unsustainable joke that they just would cancel after a short amount of time selling the hardware once they realize the film papers aren't selling
