Micro USB in 2022 is a travesty.

Thanks for this! really solid review. i was lost on which insta printer to buy

Fully agree about the SP-3. And it's not just missing a new version. Over a year ago, Fuji discontinued the SP-3 without releasing a replacement. They're only available used, and at silly prices.

are the prints any better quality

Thank you Gordon 😊 Fantastic review as always. If you have kids or just live creativity, this is a no brainer! Fun has gone from most cameras and phones so it is great that Fuji making the Instax range which is pure fun!

so lost about which ph printer to get :( I don't mind about the portability aspect as would only be using at home but don't want a full size printer either. Which one of them all produces the most consistent photo quality? Also I would like to choose whether to have borders (a la old polaroid style) or no borders at all.

I've decided to just use my iphone.. with this mini link 2 as opposed to purchasing the EVO. Seems like a perfect choice!

3:10 The nicest trick is that looks like Gordon is stretching his arm bellow the table to film himself.

Hi, i'm thinking about buying a mini link and just now realised there is a newer version. Just wondering, what are the differences between the 2 and the original one?? I can't seem the find any except some new gimmicks on the app. Is there something i missing, why this one is better then the first one. It's about a 20 dollar price difference and i just don't know of it's worth buying the new one. I would appreciate some help😅☺️

Hi, thanks for the review. How do you get the paper for printing? And how much does it cost?

Just bought mine yesterday but photos seem fainted ? I am on the stock films and bought some separate cups it be just the films ? Yours look very clear and mines don’t

Did I got it right, that you can print also pictures from your phone gallery? Like I don't have to do "live" pictures like on polaroid?

can you save a digital copy before printing?

I usually don't care for gimmicks but that instax air is actually pretty impressive

Do I have to buy the polord cam for me to print pics or I can take pics from my phone then print?

hi gordon, i need your advice about that, i wanna buy mini camera and what's your advice? instax mini 12 & canon zoemini s2 & instax mini link 2 ? thanks a lot from now

How is the print quality compared to the Mini Evo?

Would like to know if it good to upgrade from instax share sp-2 to instax mini link 2.

How is the print quality compared to the original mini link?

Hi, when I insert the film, the black page does not come out, what should I do?

i can't quite tell - is the printed photo quality similar to an instax camera, or is it a bit more clear and hi def? I want it to look like an instax camera print :)

If I have previous pictures that I have taken with my iphone, could I print those out??

What if the paper to print gets over? Do we get it in shops outside? What is the papers called?

Can you do the qr code thing like with the wide printer?

Hi Gordon. Could you please do a Video on in camera JPEGS and straight out of camera shooting on LUMIX and Canon Mirrorless cameras. I usually use Fuji but after getting your book I’m loving it but there are so many features that still don’t make a lot of sense. Ask David Bergman helps a lot but are very Canon specific but those Adorama videos are short and fast. I’ve never used a Lumix but I hear the in camera JPEGS are fantastic. I’m looking at JPEG’s to do some archival work and documenting locations. My Fuji works great with a standard provia setting but the files are pretty hefty for a jpeg.

Looking for a mini printer that will give best quality of image

Shame Fuji isn't taking USB-C at the same time they're taking an uplift in price... Surely the new margin on the BOM could afford something more modern than micro-USB. I would pay $150 if I could throw this thing on a wireless charger.

Hello, has it been updated to work with any Fujifilm X camera?

Which should i choose, this one or mini 11?

hi but my mines have problem when i print the pictures there’s black lines

I bought one and it’s really cool. Does what I want. Basically, I snap shots of my daughter on my good iPhone camera, then print them with this so she can display them in her room. My only gripe is that the Instax mini film is super small! Unfortunately, it’s ubiquitous. The film that is closer to the old Polaroid 600 size is not as easy to find. So the printer is cool, but the prints are very small.

I cannot print directly to this printer via wireless from my Fujifilm X100V?

I would love to buy this for a party. Can multiple mobile phones connect to the printer?

Can you use this with an ipod?

This or the Polaroid Hi-Print?

No USB-C in 2022. Whaaat? 😳

My X-T30 II has the instax setting!

Why are these not available on the Square link!?!?!?

The X-T2, a camera from 2016, has the ability to do Instax printing.

It would have been good if you had said about the battery performance or how many prints in one charge...

How does it work?? Is there a projector inside?

can i use sony camera to do it

Absolute bonkers with usb mini lol absolutely nobody uses that standard anymore, how about adding a floppy drive at the same time haha

Got mine for just 89 bucks in clay white. Would just use it to print photos though.

Why does the manual say "when you load a film pack, use the film as soon as possible". I dont want to use all films immediately cuz I wanna take my time in picking the right pictures to print.

It is 80 on Amazon right now, on Best Buy 90 bucks

can in print QR code on the photo?

"Space blue" looks a lot more black than blue on my iPad.

3:50 kawaii moment

Anyone else want to vomit when they see a Micro USB in 2022?

What a cute toy. Doug Kaye once mentioned the perhaps only practical use of such a device: To give away instant photos to (and of) people you meet, especially when you travel in third world countries. Since I've no travelling plans, to me it would only be a mostly unused toy. And I have enough of those.

Fujifilm bought u and your Chanel with this review... U didint even mențion the cost of the paper

Thanks, I was hoping this might be something I can use for street photography on the street with Canon R. Unfortunaly not.

Besides the printing and editing features everything else seems like a gimmick that anyone Will hardly use

gah, I just bought the mini link version 1 printer back in January. annoying.

Cute but not worth the upgrade…

Micro USB? I will never buy another product with a Micro USB. The worst connection port ever invented. Why haven't they used USB C ? A deal breaker for me.

With printers like these, I realy can only blame Sony, Canon, Fuji and so on that they don't use Android for their cameras. It would be a blase to use this printer with a propper OS on the cameras ...

I bet Fujifilm makes more profit from their “lifestyle” products than Sony and Canon does combined for their cameras and lenses. Consumers love this stuff that eventually ends up forgotten in a dusty drawer.
