Fujifilm instax PAL, mælkehvid

Unuseable without the smartphone app - so what’s the point? Can’t transfer photos to a computer using a cable or Bluetooth. 50 image limit even if add SD card.

I spent a week testing the Fujifilm Instax Pal camera, and all I can say is that it provided a fresh perspective on digital photography.

Absolutely brilliant little camera!!! It’s so good you have to get one!

Instax Pal is a pocket-sized, portable camera that connects to your phone for easy picture-taking. The camera does not include film and requires an additional purchase of a printer and photo paper. While fun for casual use, photographers may prefer a traditional instant film camera over the Instax Pal.

I’ve used many Instax cameras, and the digital-only Instax Pal has proved to be the funnest of them all, and the best for all ages, even though it’s technically not an instant camera, nor technically a great camera. Its tiny and cute design is made possible because the printer isn’t built in, while the new app makes for a fun UX that rewards time spent creating. With the option to print now or print later using one of Fujifilm’s excellent portable Link printers, the Pal is an all-round smart choice with familiar Instax quality, unless you want an entirely analog experience. Pal might just become your digital family pet.
