Expert Reviews
What experts liked
The Wide 300 produces larger, wider prints at a lower price and runs on AA batteries
the Instax Wide 300 maintains good color saturation and separation, resulting in a much more immersive image.
Uses large Instax Wide instant film. Includes close focus adapter. Creates charming physical prints.
This camera won't slip into a purse or bag with ease, but it'll give you way bigger, wider shots that are closer in size to the classic square Polaroid pictures.
The Instax 300 wide might look big and clumsy but it’s light, and the generous grip makes it easy to hold and use.
Uses the largest Instax format. Positive and negative exposure compensation modes. Close-up lens included. Tripod socket.
What experts didn't like
The camera lacks a timer, you’ll have to leave someone in charge of pressing the shutter button.
The Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 performed at or near the front of the field in most of our tests, lagging a bit only in image settings and film costs.
Limited exposure control. Big. Can be expensive for high-volume shooters.
The only drawback to the Wide 300 is that its viewfinder is way off in the corner, so framing shots takes a lot of practice.
For a big camera, though, the Instax Wide 300 has a tiny viewfinder. It takes practice even to get your eye lined up with the eyepiece.
Difficult to frame close-ups. No way to disable flash. Impractical, small viewfinder.
