However I try to resist this, I know Ill end up getting one at some point.

or does it just take normal wide film? 

either way..im weak when it comes to instant

[astrobeck]

Nice!   
I like this even though I'm not a huge instant shooter.
It indicates that Fuji is going to stay in the instant game for a while longer which is extra good!!!   

I might have to take the plunge.....after
Damion.

So they're finally catching up, size-wise, to the old Polaroids. In fact, this format seems a bit bigger (Polo's are around 3"x3"). Great. Now I won't be able to feel morally superior to Instax users

I think it just takes regular Instax Wide film. It says the 300 takes 86mm x 106mm images.

The specs all look the same as the 210. How is this one supposed to be different?

I do quite like the 210, by the way.

looks like they took inspiration from a mamiya this time, huh?
anyhow, nice to see the instax wide format getting some love

After shooting a bit with my Mini 90, I wondered why they don't just size it up and make a new film for existing Polaroids. I know this would pretty much destroy Impossible, but at least their film works.

I would LOVE if Fuji made a film for SX-70 Polaroids. Their peel apart is wonderful (I am still mourning the loss of the 3000B  )  Maybe Impossible needs a little competition in that market to up their game?

I like the idea, but.... am I the only one who is disappointed that it doesn't have the looks of the Neo 90?

[moominsean]

It's useless if it doesn't have manual focus. I always liked Instax Wide but hated the ugly cameras. This is slightly less ugly but still basically a point and shoot.

They added a fantastic innovation: a tripod socket!

I love the Intax cameras. THey are great to carry around to give instant pics to people you want to photograph on the street. And the goofy colored ones always elicit a smile whenever you pull it out of your bag!

[Francois]

I know... I often get that "look" that just can't be imitated

[mcduff]

I almost bought one of the originals for my daughter today and then decided she would bankrupt me ;-)

[Francois]

Instax Wide film is definitely expensive. But the colors are so nice and unusual I keep coming back to it.
Heck, I even like the slightly fuzzy optics on mine!

Still or AF function, no-flash / slow-flash sync option? Fuji really could do a better job then.

I think that they still use the same innards, just different bodies.
