This has such a 2000s tech gadget for kids vibe to it, I love it, I can't wait to get my hands on one.

[blanckq]

It's such a perfect little "memory maker" camera.

I just got my instax pal. I didnt know how to use it yet. I read the manual but you touched points i didnt understand on the manual. This video is great.

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.

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.

this is also ahaha GOOD for moms like me who carry the world with them and still want to create memories with their kids at the same time! :)

[theowensthree]

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. 💯

[michelle_pw]

I just need Fuji to make it possible for me to send a photo from my xt3 to an Instax printer.

[ianroe]

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.

[fillyfong]

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.

[kyloctopus]

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?

[datdudeinred]

Wtf? They actually named a camera after you? Wow bravo sir! 👏

[matthiass.hartmannecp]

👍 I love this toy. Have a lot of Fun! You didn t mention the qr- function: this is great with the Instax wide printer 😊

[MiracleWinchester]

it's giving iMac G3 especially that power button area

[instaxprojekty]

I have same as blue like an ocean wave 😂 Memories are the best so instax pal is for all of us 🥳✌️

[whizgal]

I can’t wait to own it. I’ll take this cute little instax pal over taking out my phone for photos any day 😅

[BB__]

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 ❤

[loriensan]

Nice video as always. Wonder if theres gonna be a comparison between the sigma 100-400 and the fuji one, would love that!

[WittyDroog]

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

[plutosama]

Omg this video is hilarious (in a good way). Recently discovered your channel, very informative and fun to watch. ❤️
