A tech review by Yuneswari Muniandy
These days, everything is instant photography, but no matter how many filters smear
onto that smartphone picture, it is never going to have the wonderful feel of the photos a
Polaroid used to spit out.
The Instax Share SP-1 has a built-in WI-Fi radio and can twist itself into an ad-hoc
hotspot. If take a photo, fire up the Instax Share IOS or Android app and link straight to
the printing machine and send it over. The printer will spit out the photo on 2 x 3 Instax
film. The very same material used in the Instax Mini 90.
The Instax Share is a fun complement to the line, offering the flexibility of printing
photos from any phone and at any time. All the Instax Share needs is a Wi-Fi
connection and film. The Share uses the same 2.13-by-3.4-inch film compatible with the
Instax Mini line.

2. With Fujifilm’s Instax photo app available for both iOS and Android. Users can take the
photos and send them straight to the Share printer.
Instead, users can pull from their smartphone’s library, Facebook, or Instagram to print
souvenir pictures at a later day or multiple copies for multiple friends. No more fighting
over who gets the single print instant cameras are limited to creating.
The Instax Share runs on CR2 lithium batteries, making it portable and wireless. Fujifilm
says the battery will last up to 100 prints, each one taking about 16 seconds to print and
develop.
The ability to print photos straight from smartphone’s library or social media sources
makes film photography less of a fuss for analog newbies. No longer do customers
have to worry about the correct ISO or brightness setting.
The Instax app also has an optional real-time template to insert geo-location, time, date,
and weather in case want to detail the print.
