Buying call

Buy the instax Pal 2 if you want a cute, pocketable camera for fun snapshots: reviewers liked its tiny retro design, tactile controls, both an optical viewfinder and a screen, built-in filters and frames, and a friendly app. Skip it if you care about image quality, because the small sensor struggles in low light and tends to overexpose. Shutter lag is annoying, battery life is short, and reviewers found it pricey for what it does.
