Fujifilm INSTAX Mini LiPlay Instant Camera, Price $159.95

Fujifilm Instax Mini LiPlay is Fuji’s latest smallest, lightest hybrid instant camera. The hybrid instant film camera combines the features of an analog instant film camera with digital camera convenience in the smallest package possible.  The US price for this camera is $159.95, you can check pre-order options at B&H Photo Video/Adorama.

It doesn’t shoot straight to instant film like analog Instax cameras, but instead uses a very small 1/5-inch digital image sensor that captures 2,560×1,920-pixel images (about 5 megapixels). The prints are small like those from other Instax Mini cameras at 3.4 by 2.1 inches (86 by 54 mm), though the actual image size is 2.4 by 1.8 inches (62 by 46 mm).
