...and I've been given the opportunity to pay $400 to buy a pre-production unit. Mini format "insta"ntly kills it for me.

Best laugh I've gotten all year

I've shot a lot on instax mini as I bought a multipack when the Neo Classic was released. Bought that because Fuji implied it could create higher quality images than their cheap, coloured blob Instax cameras (spoiler alert - it is just as crappy).

Anyway, because of being so disappointed by the mini film, no way would I drop any amount of coin on another instax mini, let alone a $400 one. It's great that it has a real focus mechanism, an apparently decent exposure system and cute looks.
But the film is garbage. I just don't get why it is so small - Polaroid film was way bigger than this. And Fuji still sells Instax Wide film, so why on earth does this camera use the mini film?

My sister uses the mini film and turns them into Christmas ornaments. It's fun nonsense film, and that's the point of the whole thing.

Pretty sure her instax camera didn’t cost $400

So I guess she like the blue toned pics? But all kidding aside do you really think Instax is meant to be a nonsense film? Can you imagine if it was any good, like the decades older Polaroid emulsions?

It's one of the most asinine things I've ever seen in this space.

It cost far less than $400. And I honestly have no idea if she notices the color shift. She's happy, and because she's my family, I'm also happy because my quality of life is better when she's happy. All kidding aside, I do think Instax is meant to be a nonsense film. Looking at what that thing produces, there's no way a reasonable person would take Instax seriously.
I can't imagine it being any good.

What? You guys don't think the world was crying out for a fussy little RF Instax camera? $400 seems like a bargain to me, but I'm holding out until I can order a blue one. The other colors are inferior and will no doubt taint my response to its use.

I would have been all over this - like chez on a film is doing great thread - if it used Instax Wide film.

How DARE you speak ill of Instax Wide! My Lomograflok keeps that line viable (probably).

Is the wide better film or is it just larger?

For people who want to use the wide film there is RF70 by Mint and also the lomograflok that can be used with large format cameras.

I signed up and I am ready to pay. But I imagine I am one out of very few people for whom it makes a lot of sense.

I will update if they pick me.

Here is a video that I made couple of years ago on using a zeiss nettar for instax:

Possible but a pretty big pain. This camera is a solution for this.

It’s close to the size of FP-100C. If only it resolved and looked as good.

If I want to use a folding camera that uses cr@ppy instant film. I've got an SX-70 in the closet.
