My prints keep coming out either too dark or too light, even thought the initial raw image is properly exposed. Do you have any tips?

[@andrewheyes564]

Nice video. Thank you. I'm a full in/on Fujifilm Fan Boy! I love Fuji. They made some great cameras and no doubt still do. I'm sad that they've stopped making compact cameras. The DL 300 was my first..... I've just ordered this one and can't wait to try it out. Thank you for this. 👍

Thanks for watching!

Excellent review, thank you!

Hello, I wanted to ask if you can plug it to your laptop and save your photos there?

[@rev0330]

very coooool!!!!!

[@randombrain4176]

Good video guys but isn't this just a re-skinned Fujifilm Instax Evo? as well as the film?

[@CameraWestTV]

In a way, yes, they share similarities in build and functionality but the UI and some cosmetic features mirror most of the current line of Leica cameras as well as the compatibility with the Leica FOTOS app. The film is fuji instax mini film but with a warmer tone border or you can get the gold border. This is normal for collaboration instax mini film packs to have their respective branding on the film and packaging. Thanks for watching!

The fact they went the whole video without saying the word Fujifilm is hilarious. Since the lens, sensor, and film are the same as the Fujifilm you're basically paying double the price for Leica's UI and having one less app on your phone if you already have Leica Fotos app. It makes their opinion on the camera be one I simply don't trust, it's basically a 30min ad.

Well, time to save for this camera :3

[@tedtrimmer635]

That looks like great fun!

[@CameraWestTV]

Thanks for watching!

What's the issue if the prints turn out black? I tested pics from the cam and from the phone

[@CameraWestTV]

It is possible, the film may not be exposed? It is hard to say with a hybrid instant camera since the film is exposed differently from a traditional instax or instant camera.

[@einzelstein5291]

I tried another film. Same issue. I am sure I inserted it correctly... so how does it not expose?

[@thebkstank2095]

Does it actually have Leica glass?

[@thedancingduck244]

Yea it’s got a Leica Summar 1:2 28mm

The Yappening

[@WhoIsSerafin]

Leica and Fuji should be ashamed of themselves. Far more Leica for their price. A tiny, tiny very old cell phone size sensor that’s dirt cheap. I truly love the idea of these cameras but this is decade old technology throughout the camera. Fuji is closer to fair on their price but still to much.

😂😂😂 Leica fan boys are like apple fan boys this sensor is top of the line.....in 2004 can't imagine passing that much for shit like this.
