Fujifilm Instax Mini LiPlay Review
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.
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;
