The great thing about me being so out of the loop on this stuff.. Every camera seems brand new to me!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Now that Is a great point.

[@simsesworkshop1546]

I can't belive this guy dosen't have 1+mil subscribers. This is a quality channel, with extremely good videos. and you are very great at entertaining :) Love from Denmark :)

[@halframen]

THANK YOU. Before watching this video, I had several difficulties trying to understand how the flash works on this camera. Really well explained!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Glad to be of help!!!!

[@ieatdatbitchinsideout]

Omg I just found your channel and I can really say that you work really hard in every video. The bgm is on point. Love it!! Never subbed someone channel this fast 👍

[@JustAnotherChris]

Well hey I’m glad your enjoying the content and glad to have you on board!

[@elenacallegari2933]

i think one of the main differences with the 300 is that the 200 weighs over 900g (almost a kilo) while the 300 instead weighs around 600g. 300g is not a huge difference, about the weight of a large apple, but it adds up if you're traveling by plane with just a carry-on bag for example. the volume of the 200 is also considerably bigger but it does feel a lot sturdier than the 300 (think of 80's sturdy durable toys vs nowadays toys. that's the vibe). thanks for your videos, you're my go to whenever i want to know more about instant cameras

[@miguelaleman7897]

You seem very excited about this camera, i was thinking in geting a instant camera. And this is what i needed to be sure that’s the one!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Definitely get one. You won’t be disappointed

[@kellyblad4066]

I have fuji wide 300 and i just love that film format perfect for group and landscape shots ❤️ just like you i hope fuji makes a renewal on its wide cameras 🤞

[@JustAnotherChris]

Hopefully!!!

[@brineb58]

I bought a 300 when it first came out, didn't know about the 200 ... I do love it!!! The Lomo Instant Wide is a pretty good camera!!!

[@JustAnotherChris]

There’s a few but basically the same. Great cameras

[@TheHellonheart]

I have one for 20 years it’s amazing!

[@JustAnotherChris]

It sure is!

[@BlueDragonMedia]

The 'My Name is Earl' inspired intro is epic!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Love that show so much!

[@dxBarByxP]

i have the 210 one (same thing basically), and while watching your video i was like "hey, i got one of those!" i got it for christmas on 2012, it still had batteries and a film package inside (yes i know, bad idea) but i took a couple of shots... and one of them worked! after almost 10 years! and yes, the batteries still had juice! a total wizardry. the other one got double exposed with an old pic i took years ago... i dont know how, but it looks cool, almost like if a ghost of a old me was there. anyways, i think you're a cool guy! Definitely you deserve wayyy more subs. your production is super professional!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Well first of all thank you! I really appreciate it!! 2nd wow 10 years and the film works!! That’s so awesome! Would love to see those results!

[@dxBarByxP]

@@JustAnotherChris might post it and tag you on Instagram!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Please do!

[@JessieLeTV]

I used my 210 for the first time in 6 years today. Lol i thought the batteries were dead, accidentally broke the battery cover bc it was jammed. Batteries actually didn’t need to be changed, the batteries & film worked after being dormant for so many years. 😩 I’m hoping fuji does a hybrid of the fuji 300 and sq 20!

[@dxBarByxP]

@@JessieLeTV maybe its an instax wide thing! haha

[@PaulaRodriguez-cp1bx]

Hola tengo una pregunta, espero que entiendas mi español, el botón de flash para que sirve? La cámara ya dispara con flash siempre entonces nose para que sirve el botón de flash, y la última pregunta es cómo funciona el botón tengo que apretar el botón de flash a la vez que el disparador?

[@kdnladner93]

What’s the difference between 200 and 300? From what I gathered with the 300 it does everything automatic unlike 200 where you can adjust settings

[@eli18639]

I have the instax wide 100. IT doesnt come with the selfie thing, so maybe they added it on this format. Also there is a limited edition wide 500

[@mr.kamerakeeper557]

Hey, Chris :) I love your videos, especially about the cameras :) I have a big variety of cameras..., some SX 70s, Instax Wide 210 & 300, Mint TL 70 and a lot of Instax Mini... and I'm searching for a good deal on an SLR 680 :)

[@JustAnotherChris]

All those are excellent cameras! I got lucky on my SLR 680 find.

[@cogordoo]

Thanks for the vid! I'm buying a second hand one this week :)

[@JustAnotherChris]

Amazing!!

[@adrianharrison5208]

Fuji does need to bring out some more up market instax film cameras.. an SLR wide with lenses would be amazing like you say

[@JustAnotherChris]

Hopefully one day!

[@djrubberducky]

I just saw a new wide hello kitty edition 210 recently(yeah, that's a different model) for a 50$. I wanted to get into a new format(I only used mini for a few years). Thank you for the video!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Wide is a great format! Highly recommend

[@dilaradonmezdemir9163]

Hi! I have the same model and unfortunately I dropped it on the floor :(( . I think a part inside the machine may have been lost and that part is under the cover above the on/off button. I dropped it in a dark place so I might not be able to find the parts. Can you help me if I send you a photo? thank you.

[@Loranvel]

What kind of batteries do you use?!! Mine ran out in days

[@TheLeiPol]

I have a few Instax Wide cameras. Think I got the 100 in 1999 but it did not get much use due I preferred Polaroid SX70/600 those days. A few years ago I was finally able to get the 500AF within Europe, import from Japan is expensive with import duties, VAT etc. I like the 500AF because the flash can be turned off and the autofocus. Last year I added the 300 Toffee edition (like the look) with a discount. If I could only keep one it would be the 500AF but have to admit all are very capable cameras delivering gorgeous photos. Instax is very reliable film. It would be great if Fujifilm announced a Wide printer… Edit 2021/10/14: an Instax Wide printer is just announced. Price +/- 150$

[@JustAnotherChris]

Oh shoot that’s awesome!! Yeah I do prefer polaroid but LOVE the wide format from Fuji. One day I hope there will be something new on that front.

[@hellishtimber]

nice review, just picked one of these up on ebay for GBP 2.20 lol (technically non-working but its just a battery leak has corroded the terminals a very easy fix)

[@JustAnotherChris]

Well that’s a sweet deal then.

[@jasmeenbrar3605]

Hey Chris, I just got this camera about a week ago. Im wondering how to "under-expose" my pictures like you said - i.e: for the sky pictures. I have the exact same camera as you, so please explain it step by step if you can! Also, for pictures inside and/or outside, what are the best steps after turning it on? Love your youtube channel! Gave you a thumbs up.

[@JustAnotherChris]

I show how to set the exposure compensation in the video. So go with the low setting -1.

[@alexasoto6005]

I want one so bad but o hate that it doesn't have a self timer :/

[@rocktecnorules4ever]

Love your videos. How would one underexpose a photo? Is there a video for that? I love my Fujifilm 300 and took a couple of shots the other day and it was way too bright. Would clicking the Darken button underexpose it? Thanks.

[@JustAnotherChris]

Yes darken button will under expose your shot

[@Ni5ei]

I actually prefer the even older Instax 100 over the 200/210. It has the controls and display on the back (exactly like the 500AF) and it looks better imo.

[@joshjacobson9846]

Still loving my 210, chonker feels like a plastic mini van that takes photos and I can’t get enough 😂

[@JustAnotherChris]

Haha that’s a great way to describe it!

[@Gojenjen84]

Great Vid!! I too have the Instax wide, I would love a more in depth about tricks to get good shots with the Instax wide, I have the hardest time getting my pictures framed, but I’ll try that method of doing the L shape. Also when you say under expose, could you maybe put it in, dummy terms lol 😂

[@JustAnotherChris]

Oh for sure on the lighten or darken option I darken aka under expose hope that helps! Glad you liked the video!

[@joshuatatum7992]

I'm excited to see the RF70 when you finally break down and buy it. Then I'll probably get one too 😂

[@JustAnotherChris]

Haha yeah one day soon maybe!!!

[@Webrisernl]

Better then the newer 300?

[@ilmago5291]

i never know if was a restyling of 100 or if was original version of 210

[@louie8034]

Been looking for this camera for more than 3 years now 😭 it really is hard to search for old cameras.

[@JustAnotherChris]

Oh no! Well check out eBay

[@la239]

Hey Chris my birthday is coming up and I’m having trouble deciding between the instax 300 camera vs the printer. What would u recommend I get?

[@JustAnotherChris]

Hmmm I guess it just depends on your preference. For me I prefer to have a camera over a printer because I know it will get used more.

[@Detoxingforlife]

Hi Chris is there a self timer feature Bluetooth or remote?

[@JustAnotherChris]

There is not unfortunately. If you want that on this film type,Check out the Lomography wide camera. I did a video on it actually. No Bluetooth however.

[@shekainatomlinson]

do you have any tips on how to take sunset photos with this camera?

[@JustAnotherChris]

Unfortunately this wouldn’t be a camera for that BUT try under exposing your shot and maybe place an ND filter over your lens

[@justcallmepav8932]

Omg that battery thing is crazy! my instax 300 batteries i had to change like 3x within a year , barely using it and it randomly just stops turning on🙃 Love your videos🥰🥰 but kinda want to cry they arent like half an hour long😀 also, random question.. did you use normal or darken setting for those pretty pictures with blue skies?? I’ve taken a few on a beach etc with darken and they are so vibrant but waaay too dark and I haven’t tried using the normal setting cos I’m scared they would not be as vibrant and would be overexposed LOL xx

[@JustAnotherChris]

Interesting about the batteries I must have unlimited power from the universe!! I will work on making my videos longer just for you!!!

[@chronicfish]

silly question perhaps, but any guidance would help. I have G.A.S. and technically don't need any more cameras! I have one instant film camera, a Polaroid SX-70, but I hardly use it because of the cost of the film (where I live, each shot works out to 2,5 usd). I found the Instax 210 for 40 usd brand new, and am considering it, purely for the cost of not only the camera but also price per shot (70 cents roughly) .. I really wanted to get the fuji instax neo 90 with mini film, but not prepared to pay that much, I would rather use the sx-70 in that case ... any thoughts/advice?

[@JustAnotherChris]

Hmm this is a great conversation for the discord LOTS of great individuals there that have some amazing takes on questions like this. Consider joining. discord.gg/vZtnJH8v

[@ten_xo]

needed this thank u ☺️☺️

[@JustAnotherChris]

Anytime!

[@ten_xo]

@@JustAnotherChris one more thing 3:25 how do you underexpose your photos???

[@JustAnotherChris]

There’s a lighten and darken mode button. To under exposure use the darken mode.

[@ten_xo]

@@JustAnotherChris oh yay ty so much!!! one more thing… say you’re taking photos outside, what you do with the film just hold it or do you use a special case?

[@JustAnotherChris]

Case,pocket or just in a bag is what I do

[@idrawcommonobjects]

awesome tips - THANK YOU!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Glad it was helpful

[@yodig5534]

Hi Chris would you recommend this in 2022?

[@JustAnotherChris]

Absolutely 💯

[@kinda_kiwi8718]

How about the 210 I have one from my family

[@JustAnotherChris]

Basically the same camera so yes it’s good

[@herbsmobilerecordstore4474]

Have you ever played with the 500AF?

[@JustAnotherChris]

I have not.

[@herbsmobilerecordstore4474]

Would love to see you test it out :) See how it compares to the other wides. Its meant to have killer optics. Not a whole lot online about them@@JustAnotherChris

[@chelseajupiter2103]

Nowe we have a Wide Printer, but still no good options for Wide cameras. I would easily pay a couple hundred dollars for a camera with a good quality lens.

[@JustAnotherChris]

Right!! If only the mint RF70 wasn’t so expensive

[@DaarkCloud]

The 200 is available new on Amazon again 😈

[@JustAnotherChris]

Pshhh show me lol

[@pompshuffle562]

[@JustAnotherChris]

[@joshjacobson9846]

Got a 210 (not sure what real difference there is) new old stock off eBay thanks to this video. Taking it out this coming weekend and will definitely have to tag you if I get anything worth tossing up on instagram

[@JustAnotherChris]

Definitely do!!! You can also post them in the discord, if your into that kinda thing.

[@game2572]

sOMEONE GAVE ME A 300

Lucky you!
