This digital hybrid offers a lot for its money. Having the ability to be both an instant camera and instant printer that can print photos from your smartphone is a huge plus. But are all the features included useful

Such an easy to use and compact camera! There’s so many features and the fact that you can mess a shot up but don’t have to print it is great

The new Instax Mini LiPlay is the latest addition to the instant camera line-up of Fujifilm....

Fab camera works awesome as a Polaroid and phone photo printing just a shame if you want to use it with a memory card you lose the LCD veiwing panel and theres no way of uploading the 45 photos that store on the cameras internal memory.

Easy to use, can be a normal polaroid camera, or sync it up to your phone to print photos!

Screen size

It's an evolution of the part camera, part portable printer Fujifilm Instax SQ20 , only in a much smaller package, so you don't have to think twice about taking it with you when leaving the house.

Shoots vibrant Instax photos; either from the camera or from your phone; Small form factor ideal for spur of the moment use; Smartphone app now a lot more flexible than previous Instax hybrids

Difficult to compose photos in bright light using LCD screen; Limited battery life makes all-day use a challenge; Autofocus slow and only has one central focus point

Fuji's smallest, lightest instant camera ever is more of a digital camera with a built-in printer, albeit one that still uses Instax format film. You compose with an LCD screen, not a viewfinder, and if your shots don't look too hot you don't have to print them, which is less wasteful - if not quite as charming as a true instant camera. The digital versions it saves aren't particularly detailed or high quality, but audio recordings add extra novelty, and its smartphone companion app is second-to-none. No other Instax can slip into a pocket like the LiPlay can, and it's reasonably priced too. It's not perfect, but it is the best hybrid around right now.

There's a reason instant cameras died the first time around: They're unwieldy, the film is expensive, and even if you're a great photographer, you're going to have a ton of overexposed or blurry snaps in which no one looks good.

Cost effective; Lots of convenient features; Easy to carry

Lacks that instant camera charm
