Fujifilm Vs Polaroid Smartphone Printer

My previous Zink printer was the Polaroid ZIP printer.  It was a fine printer that was involved in many fun memories and moments.  However, the connection to a smartphone could be finicky at times and it kind of killed the spontaneity of wanting to get printouts fast while in the moment.  Plus, the app made it quite difficult to predict the color output of the photos.  This Canon camera printer solved all that.  It too can be paired with a smartphone to act as a printer.  However, the app is much better than the Polaroid one.  The other benefit is this can act as a standalone camera/printer.  It has a framing box (both in the front of the camera for selfies and in the viewfinder) so its easier to frame what you want to take a picture of.  It does have LEDs to light up subjects.  I do find the shutter button to be a little too easy to take photos.  A couple times, I accidentally took a photo even when I was just grabbing the camera or giving it to someone.  Battery life is much better than my Polaroid was.  However, I did notice at a party when I wanted to print a bunch of printers, the Canon did require a cooling period sooner than the Polaroid when I was printing a lot of pics (though this may be because the Canon app makes it more convenient to print photos faster while I had to prep photos in the Polaroid app).  White balance can be an issue with using the Canon as a standalone camera with pictures leaning toward being very cool (though to be fair, some of my testing was in an office with bad fluorescent lighting).  So if you want more precise colors, use it as a printer with a smartphone.

easy to use. i set the printer up with my smartphone. i love it!

The photos turn out very nice. The Polaroid cameras are funner to play with but the Fujifilm instant photos look much better.

Works amazingly well with pogo polaroid printer

Most convenient pack for polaroid printer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you know someone with a fujifilm polaroid camera and you need to give them a gift, this is the perfect gift. Not only is it useful, its cute and looks great as wall decoration as well. I would definitely recommend trying the different designs for these films rather than sticking with plain boring white films.

Big fan of the Fujifilm instax film. Better size than the mini. More colorful than Polaroid. At $1 a film this isn’t cheap but is a reasonable price for instant cameras. Half the price of a Polaroid film so can’t complain.

Bought this for my Fujifilm instax polaroid camera, best price I found online. Very satisfied with my purchase. Package came quick and box was not dented at all, everything I bought was in great condition.

Luckily Fujifilm still make Polaroid film! The film is good quality and I have been happy with all the photos I've taken with my Polaroid camera. The film is a convenient size.

I love FujiFilm! The images look great and compared to other brands like Polaroid, FujiFilm is better and more consistent. It is also cheaper. You will create great memories with this film.
