This is the ultimate iteration of instax cameras; I have the Mini 40 and have long loved it, but the only downside is that when I take an amazing instax photo of someone, I have to decide between giving it to them or keeping it for myself. Now I don't have to! Being able to print multiple copies of a photo is amazing, and being able to print photos that I took with my real camera in the cute little instant format is a true delight. My only complaint with this camera is that it's not even slightly waterproof, which is the reason I'm back on this site: my daughter accidentally dunked my liplay in the toilet, so I'm ordering a new one. That's how much I love it!

Great little instant camera. I got it as a gift for a 10 year old, and they set it up independently, with no input from me, which speaks to its ease of use. I like that it's rechargeable, vs using batteries, and that it has a preview screen and the option to add a memory card. Pictures come out just like an old school Polaroid, albeit smaller.

This is a very fun little camera. I have a couple of interchangeable lens cameras, with several lenses, and, of course, a smartphone, but something about having a simple camera that can just pop out a print was very appealing. So, I bought one of the Instax 7s they had on sale on Black Friday, and thought it was great for that purpose. However, I discovered that I really missed being able to look at the images before they printed, which you can't do with the regular analog Instax models. So, I did a little research and decided the LiPlay would probably be my best option. It came today, and after a bunch of shots and a few prints, I can say it did not disappoint! The prints themselves look a little nicer than the ones I got from the 7s. I have not yet tried to print an image from my smartphone, but you can do some things with the LiPlay app on the smartphone that you can't on the camera itself, in terms of adjustments to the image (color, light, etc), so I plan to explore that a little bit more. I then downloaded the images from the mini SD card to my computer, and looked at them in my photo editing program. The sensor is only a 5MP sensor, so it's not going to give you wall-sized prints, but for printing up to about 5x7, I think you could do very well with it. The color rendition is excellent, and it does seem to do a very good job with capturing light and shadow. One other nice thing about it...the minimum focus distance is quite small, so you can get much closer to your subject than with any of the analog Instax models, which I really like. That was about the only thing with the analog versions that I found a bit frustrating, actually. This one does great in that respect, and you don't need a closeup attachment. You also, on this model, have the option to turn the flash OFF, which you do not on (most, if not all,) the analog models. Oh, and the other really good thing: Since you can actually select which photos to print, you save a LOT of money on film....AND if you have a shot you really like, you can make multiple copies of it, if you want to give them to other people. I also like the stone color. It's nice looking and doesn't call attention to itself. Down sides? You can only transfer images via Bluetooth from your phone to the camera, not the camera to the phone. That's just dumb, as far as I am concerned. On the other hand, if you use an SD card, you can always just pop that into a card reader and upload it to your computer, and then do whatever else you want from that (send to phone, do some image editing, etc), so it's not the end of the world. It would be a nice thing for them to add in, though, at some point. Also, I wish they would add the photo editing capabilities into the camera that they have on the smartphone app. You can add frames after the shot on the camera, but you have to add filters or change exposure compensation before you take the photo, not afterwards like you can on the smartphone app. Maybe in future firmware......we can hope?

Simple and easy to use. I had someone say they didn't care for the camera part so they bought the printer but I felt like having this version was worth the extra cost since I enjoy the Fuji aesthetic.

You have to keep buying the paper at $ for 10 pictures Is good deal for FUJI but not for you! Do not buy this camera and there is no way to send the pictures to your smartphone or tablet using bluetooth! You may only print your pictures! ????

Pick which photo to print, and print photos on your phone. Great idea.
