Fujifilm instax WIDE 400 review

The WIDE 400 is the camera to pick when print size matters most. instax WIDE film gives a 62 by 99 mm picture, which Fujifilm describes as twice the width of instax mini film, so a group of friends or a wide view fits without cropping. Exposure and flash are automatic, and you twist the lens ring to switch between Normal mode and a distant-scene mode. For close-ups, a clip-on lens is included and works from 40 to 50 cm. The self-timer is a dial with 4, 6, 8 and 10 second settings and an LED countdown, and an included angle accessory props the camera up at two heights. A tripod mount sits on the bottom. Four AA batteries are rated for about 100 prints. A twin pack of WIDE film lists at $37.99 for 20 shots, about $1.90 each, which is cheaper per shot than Polaroid i-Type film. The camera weighs 616 g, so it is bulkier to carry than a mini.
