After I initially reviewed the unique Mini LiPlay again in 2019, I used to be just a little dismissive of the sound recordings, however I’ve come to essentially like these little snippets of ambient sound. I’ve about two dozen of them that I’ve downloaded over time, and whereas I’ve principally misplaced the Instax prints that go along with them, I can nonetheless keep in mind the photograph simply by listening to the sound. The Sound Album characteristic hasn’t wowed me up to now, however I am withholding judgment for a couple of years to see how I get on with them. I would nonetheless wish to see Fujifilm broaden the QR capabilities to have the ability to embed hyperlinks, enabling me, for instance, to shoot a portrait of somebody after which print them a hyperlink (on their portrait) to a gallery the place they might discover higher-resolution photos. Alas, as far as I do know, there isn’t a manner to do that.
Dream options apart, the LiPlay+ is a stable improve, and I particularly just like the layered photos mode. It is Instax at its greatest, not taking itself too severely, enabling enjoyable, inventive choices that permit you to play with photos and experiment in methods you won’t in any other case do.
Mini LiPlay+ vs. Mini Evo
If you’d like each an Instax mini-sized digicam and printer, there are two choices: the Mini LiPlay+ and the older, however nonetheless very succesful Mini Evo.
The Mini Evo has a retro, movie camera-inspired design, with capabilities like a rotating lens ring to change lens results and an ISO-style dial management for movie results. To print, you pull the movie winder. It is all very intelligent and enjoyable, but in addition practical. Just like the LiPlay+, the Evo has an f/2 lens, can retailer about 45 photos (expandable to 1 GB with a microSD card), and presents fairly a couple of enjoyable borders and results.
In the long run, I would say the selection comes down as to whether you need the rear selfie digicam and layered pictures of the LiPlay+ or the retro seems to be of the Evo.
