I love your reviews and always trust them. Every year for the last 12 years, I have gone a cycling tour for 6 months somewhere in the world. I am always looking for a fun gift to give people I meet along the way that is easy to carry. This might be just the thing. I would probably only go for the printer but being able to give people I meet and stay with, say in a small Ecuadorian pueblo, an actual photo could be a very special gesture. $100 and 6 oz would't break the bank or add too much weight to my already bulging packs. Thanks, Gordon, and keep up the good work!
You're welcome! Yes, instant cameras are great for breaking the ice or using as gifts in these situations.
Seems fun. But as an analog nerd its tough to get past the fact that Instax is actual film, with chemicals, where as this is just a print. Might still get it since instant cameras are a blast.
The review was great as always!
analog fan here too!! it bummed me it wasnt really film and was basically a print, yes, but i thought of ups n downs this is easier for a lot then me having to buy tape to stick it. but its nice and has good use!!
I wouldn't call it print. It's a thermopaper, similar to those in cash registers. The issue is obviously the quality where Zinc papers are absolute horror.
A cellphone camera + portable printer is probably a better solution. But, _GREAT_ review, as always.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I think a printer and phone would serve serious photographers better, but it is fun to have it all in one!
Amusing but not something that would 'excite' me enough to spend the money on this or any other brand, that said though I am sure that there is a market for this kind of device as a "fun toy". Although you may get a few negative comments from some people because it "isn't real photography" or another such view, it is good for you to review kit like this if only for people to understand what this kind of device is. The other aspect of this quite apart from the diversity of approaches that photography has become, is to speculate how in a falling market for 'conventional' cameras, manufacturers like Canon are exploring other and potentially mass market camera formats. All the best Gordon :)
thanks John, yes, these products are also often launched with a lot of influencers, so I always like to take a more considered alternative approach to the pros and cons...
Hi Gordon, was given a polaroid snap as it was not working correctly. A firmware update sorted most of the issues. It has a tripod bush and SD card. It will still take photos if it doesn't have paper installed. Has a photo booth feature that crams 4 images onto one print. Uses 2x3 inch zink paper and prints in colour, b&w and "vintage". The pop-up viewfinder (also the on/off switch) is dire, battery life terrible and printing is erratic, lots of whirring but sometimes no print. Need to press the back of the camera to ensure a print. No associated app so no printing from other sources. So fun to use as it was free (except for the paper) but don't think I'd buy one regardless of manufacturer.
Sometimes the Zoemini would refuse to print too unless I reloaded the paper, but they did mention this in the manual for it.
How long has this camera been out now ? Was going to buy but not sure if a new one is going to be out soon. As seen argos trying to sell them off. Great review
does the app have any Lomography filters? I really want a instant cam that is capable of adding vignette, black and white, etc.
looks like a really cool lil cam
they are certainly fun to use...
@@cameralabs hello, does it use ink? or is with laser. thank you
@@urbbanq it uses colours inside the paper and makes them appear by heating them up. You can search for how ZINC printing works
@@cameralabs thank you for your time.Apreciate
Pinhole lens with zINK technology and Canon branding. Thank you, but, no thank you.
only here because I saw timothée chalamet with this camera
께시kc same;)
Sameee XD
Does anyone know if shooting without film inside is actually safe for the camera?
Very helpful review.....Thank You!
Dear Gordon Laing,
Is it possible to print photos taken in a DSLR with this camera cum printer?
If so, is there any condition that the photo should be 'jpeg' only and it cannot print RAW?
You can print any image from your phone, so if you copied a DSLR photo onto your phone, then the app could send it to the camera / printer.
Hi.Can you still recommend it?Did you had any Problems?
I'd get an instax printer
What I’d like is an Instax Wide printer
You're not the only one!
Yup! Fuji isn’t listening.
You finally got one!
My prints of the pics taken with the camera itself all look bluish /violet if i only print them from my phone its fine
Hi! I have a question for you. I want to buy a gift for my boyfriend but I am undecided. I watch your videos but I'm not very fluent in English. Do you think Canon zoemini s or Instax Mini 40 is better?
instax
way late but how can i tranfer photos from camera to phone?
Depends on the camera. If it has wifi, look for an app for your phone from the camera company
Instax is still better. It's real film.
it certainly produces a different looking print, which I personally preferred. But as I pointed out there are pros and cons to both technologies.
@@cameralabs Thanks for replying :)
Are there color prints
I only showed colour prints
Great review. Cute idea but I think the portable printer is better...
Thanks! Yes, if you're mostly printing from your phone or a bigger camera via your phone then yes a portable printer is a better idea.
😆 no mike jack?
Er, no, sadly not!
hey guys can i save the photos in the MicroSD card without printing?
display???
what???
Instant land fill.
❤️
I enjoy your reviews. But, I refuse to buy into this hype.
