Fujifilm has unveiled the Instax Pal, a palm-sized digital camera. The camera is designed for younger customers and it is the first all-digital Instax camera. It lacks a screen or viewfinder and must be paired with an Instax printer to get prints. The mini Link 2 printer comes bundled with the Instax Pal.
The Fujifilm Instax Pal camera has been the subject of some speculation lately. There had been rumors that Fujifilm had developed a very small, all-digital Instax camera. It had been wrongly speculated that the camera would have a hybrid design similar to the mini Evo. The Instax Pal is the only Instax camera that cannot print its own photos. It will have to pair with compatible Instax printers or cameras for printing tasks. This can be achieved via a direct connection or via the Instax Pal mobile app that allows for editing photos before printing.
The Instax Pal has a tiny, rounded design that could pass the camera for a toy. It is available in five color variants that could be appealing to most kids and teenagers. It has a 16.25mm equivalent lens with a 5MP, 1/5” sensor behind the lens. The camera has an LED flash and a petite speaker. The shutter button is at the rear of the camera, as well as a USB-C charging port and a mode switch. The camera has a tripod mount at its bottom while a silicone ring can work as an angled stand or viewfinder. A protective silicone case is also offered as an optional accessory.
The camera can store up to 50 photos in its internal memory and a microSD slot means the storage capacity is expandable. The Link mode in the camera is another method of printing using an Instax Link printer or hybrid camera. Mini, square, or wide printing sizes are available with the Instax Pal camera. You can use the Instax Pal app for remote shooting with live views, as well as enhancements like filters or frames. The Instax Pal comes bundled with the mini Link 2 printer for $199. It will be available in late October and the package also includes 10 packs of films.
