Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 Review
Digital photographers who feel stuck in a rut often reach for film as a welcome change of pace. Using instant film takes away the need to take rolls to the lab (or your darkroom) to be developed, and provides the same immediate gratification you get with digital shots. The Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 ($129.99) is one of a number of instant cameras that are still in production. It uses the larger of Fuji's two instant film formats, doubling the size of the Instax Mini format used by the Lomography Lomo'Instant. That's a big plus in my book, even though the Instax Wide 300 lacks some of the more creative functions that Lomo's camera provides.
The Instax Wide 300 ($94.95 at Amazon) is a big camera. It measures 3.8 by 7.4 by 4.8 inches (HWD) and weighs 1.4 pounds. It features an optical viewfinder, a prime lens, and a big handgrip with the shutter release at its top. It's powered by 4 AA batteries and uses the Instax Wide film format.
