Best Instax Camera!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2020

I love this camera!! It's not as bulky as some of the other instax cameras but it does still have some bulk. But I got a carrying case for it so I can slide it in the bag and not worry about it. I love how it won't instantly print your pics but you can actually choose which pics are printed by reviewing them first. This makes it worth the camera and film. Sometimes you'll get a bad shot and wasted a print. And the fun don't stop there. You can add frames and even a qr code to record your voice that integrates with the app on your phone so you can hear the recording. Thats perfect for sending someone a pic and they can hear that message over and over no matter where they are. The app is simple and easy to use. Connects to your camera with Bluetooth. And the best part is you can print pics you've taken from your phone or tablet!! That makes the image creativity pretty much infinite. Take a fun pic, edit it in your favorite photo editing app (mine is KVAD Photo Studio Pro and Lightroom Mobile), upload it to the app, adjust to fit in frame, and print. That is great. It's like having a camera and a photo printer in your pocket. Remember the quality of the pics are very vintage style so do mind your shadows and contrast but it's definitely worth it. The photo paper for this camera is very inexpensive. $8-$10 depending on the border you want for 10 prints. You can even find bundles on amazon or even in store at walmart for a great price. I love this camera very much and couldn't recommend it enough!!

would not go for this one, personally

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024

it has the same camera quality as other cameras, but honestly kinda removes a lot of the charm away from the point of a camera like this. the reason why I bought a polaroid camera was to catch photos of things I would only see once in my life and to not have them permanently memorialized within a digital cloud, which is why I chose to go for the mini 90 instead, but if you really want the online functionality for some reason, this is a good camera. also the options of the mini 90 are much better than the liplay.

My New Favorite Toy! The Intax LiPlay is Fun, Portable and Economical

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2019

Color: Elegant BlackStyle: Camera OnlyVerified Purchase

This camera is the newest Intax model and has numerous features that makes its one of the most usable, cost effective and fun camera in the line up. Its portable size allows you to bring it anywhere, the LCD screen on the back lets you compose, review, add filters to your photos. Memory card compatibility, adding sounds to your photo, an on-body flash and selfie mirror are all great features. The camera produces beautiful photos that look vibrant when printing.

The best thing about this camera is that it allows you to choose which photo you would like to print, instead of wasting film every time you take a photo and hoping that your photo turned out okay. I would highly recommend this for children, those who are getting into photography and just about anyone who is looking for a fresh and fun way to take and share photos.

I always wanted an instax camera, but never felt like splurging. I really love that this camera also prints pics from my iPhone. They are slightly blurry, but I think that’s somewhat standard with the film. Overall, I’m glad I finally bought this version instax camera. There is also a video feature, as well as some editing and filter options. Unfortunately, I haven’t tried many of those features.

This is the best insta camera, so regret buying a standard first for around the same price

This camera is awesome. I love not having to waste my precious film anymore. I originally did not purchase this right away bc I was under the impression it printed out photo paper and not actual Polaroid prints. It is very easy to use and has many easy prompts. Also an awesome feature is you can record voice memos and print a q code on the photo of your choice. Super cute idea to send in the mail or give away bc they can scan the code and hear the memo play. My only downfall is I absolutely loved the retro look to the first camera I bought. So the White did look nice and then I bought I fake leather case that gives it a retro vibe. Absolutely love just wish I bought it sooner.

Fun for parties or creating a nostalgic vibe to special moments captured but average photo quality

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2024

Color: Elegant BlackStyle: Camera OnlyVerified Purchase

I picked this instant photo camera since it was rated best picture quality. If you use the standard setting (top photo), the quality is average at best. The brighter settings do not make the colors brighter (just the whole photo lighter) so that was disappointing but I guess you can’t expect vibrant colors for Polaroids. I like that it’s digital (unlike other models) so you can delete & retake photos. It will store up to 45 takes! No batteries required & charges via USB. You can Bluetooth your iPhone & also use it as a printer. There are black & white / sepia options for when you take the photo (not to edit), as well as cute frames you can add if you wanted a theme for a party. Film is EXPENSIVE and comes out to $1 a print. Over all, happy with the product but will only use for parties or capturing unique moments.

Prints ONLY when I want it to!!!

Use as a digital camera! Highly recommend getting a micro SD card. It has internal memory but fills up quickly!

You DO NOT need to have film loaded to take pictures! The awesome thing about this instant camera is the fact that it isn't instant! You can choose which pictures you want to print at your own leisure.

Also highly recommend downloading the mini LiPlay app. There is a live view feature so you can set up your camera across the room, see the shot you will be taking from your phone and take the picture remotely using your phone (with or without timer). You can also customize the shortcut frame buttons on the camera from the app. And the best thing is you can print photos taken from your phone!!!

Con is that there isn't a good way to mount the camera. If they made a mounting point in the next model this camera would be perfect!

Brilliant little camera!

This is a brilliant little insta camera that actually takes great pictures! There’s a surprising amount of editing that can be done on the camera itself and love that I can take pictures on my phone and then print them off on the camera! Brilliant! The film isn’t cheap, but it is worth it to be able to print off a tangible memory to put on a locker, bulletin board or computer corner rather than remembering to look through your phone. I love it!

Awesome camera!

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2019

Awesome camera! I absolutely love it! It has cool futures, works well with the app, cool frames, and love that you can get filters. The number one thing I love about the camera is that you can record sound. You can capture a moment with a picture and sound. I would recommend to watch youtube videos. That helped me a lot. You will get the most out the camera.I would recomend this, if you going to be using all day, make sure you carry charger with you, it does die fast.
