Even More Instant Film News

As if this blog did not already have enough coverage of instant film, our friends over at The Phoblographer have a guide to the current instant film options available.

Next up, Fujifilm announced a new product using their new square format Instax film, the SP-3 SQ printer.  This device connects to your phone, tablet or Fujifilm digital camera wirelessly and prints 62mm by 62mm instant photos.  The resolution is nearly 320dpi according to specs, so plenty of detail in each print.  The phone or tablet app includes a minimal editor so that one can touch up an image before printing it.  This device bests the SP-2 printer, which only used Instax mini film.  The Phoblographer has a review of the SP-3 SQ already.  This is great news for those invested in the expensive SQ10 camera or the Lomo'Instant Square, since it offers more chances for the square format Instax to be a success.

Not only that, but Emulsive reports that Instax Wide Monochrome is real, nudge nudge wink. Not sure if this is a poke at those who would love to see this product or not.   None of the major retailers offer this alleged product at this time.

There is a tonne of news otherwise in the film world, from Silberra to Fujifilm's announcement of cuts to film production. More as the week progresses.
