I love this camera - I am a photographer and have used many a camera - lately been using polaroid spektra and 600 cameras with Impossible project polaroid film for my art work and also been giving them to kids to take shots with on road trips... they love it. I am I admit attached to the iconic polaroid format, but I decided to try this camera because of the large frame size and the beautiful design. I LOVE IT sofar and need to get the case....only wish they made black and white film for it - hello !? Why not....
PROS
This camera is sharper than the older polaroid cameras (except spektra and land cameras). Very sharp - love it
Nice selfie close up attachment, sharp, with mirror so you can see what's in the frame
Love the design - looks like a real older camera, but is light and smart looking (not like a pink cartoon kid camera like the others).
BEST PRO: The colors and development time, as well as the properties of the film is very similar to OLD polaroid film and other peel apart Fuji polaroid film (the kind they just stopped making that worked with land cameras shame on you fuji!). It develops IN sunlight, in 90 seconds and is very sharp, with lovely 1980's yellow midtones, just beautiful tonal range and colors with excelletn sharpness. Very contrasty and colorful. Impossible Project film by contrast takes 30 minutes to develop and requires being upside down and being held out of light. It is also not as contrasty as this and I have tried all kinds (b and w is good though).
I have one more pro: The film is way cheaper than Impossible Project film, thinner like the old polaroid film, but has the same glossy finish.
Nice large image area! Love the image area, so much better than the mini instax.
Love the old leather case designs.
CONS
Why is there no black and white version of the film!?? Fuji please get on this ASAP
The format - for fine art use, the connotations of the square polaroid frame are imbedded into western and non western popular culture in ways that are hard to undo now - think Andy Warhol's polaroids now worth in the 5 and 6 figures, classic family snaps, the frame proportion is reused again and again to connote (snapshot) . I WISH they made the same format as the square 660 or the spektra format. Even if the bottom part was proportioned slightly longer, higher, that would work. I guess the rectangle is very rectangle, almost cinematic.....
Camera is a tiny bit large - but ok by me.

Consider me impressed!
My sister has an older model instax mini so that’s what I have to compare this to. The photos are very clear for a Polaroid style camera. Both photos were taken in broad daylight without flash. LOVE this and have already ordered more film!!
