About Instax 300 Camera Negative Reviews

Fujifilm Instax 300

It's only been a month since Fujifilm Instax 300 camera has hit the market but I seen some people complain about it. Specifically in Amazon I saw some people has left three star and two star reviews about it. If you only look at star rating you might get the idea it's a bad camera. But since I know from experience people leave these ratings are not excatly 100% perfect or something have no idea what they do, I went on reading all these negative reviews.

Some left these low ratings because it's doesn't have many improvements over the old model, Instax 210. That's really not a reasonable thing I believe.  People should read and research about whatever they buy before buying it. If you already have a Fujifilm Instax 210 then you should find out what does the new Fujifilm Instax 300 camera has to offer. If it doesn't have anything justify the price and need for upgrade  then you should wait for next model or go for other model like Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 or if you want WIDE Film then for something like Polaroid Z340.  

If you even read the Amazon sales page or even Fujfiilm page then you would easily understand the camera hasn't change from inside just it got a better look from outside. Now it looks elegant and slim. Not bulky and ugly. So if you already have the model 210 then no point of buying the 300. But if you are going to buy an Instant camera for first time then it's a good choice. In this moment (12/02/2015) market price of Model 300 is around $300 and around $80 for the 210. So you can see it's better buying the new model even it cost you few more dollars.

I guess Fujifilm hasn't decided to upgrade the lens because the current one is really good and also they haven't able to do any significant improvements for this one. Also they have to keep the cost low which is one their main marketing points. If price incrase over $200 then I don't think one would want to buy it when you can get Polaroid Z340 for around $250 and it's an instant digital camera unlike this one.

So if you are going to buy an instant photo camera and found this one cool then don't be discouraged by those bad reviews. It's a good camera and I think it's worth it. If you already have a Instax 210 then wait for next version or go for Instax 90 NEO Classic camera which has more features. But it uses Mini film not WIDE film. So think carefully before choosing your camera.

So if you pick the wrong camera then it's not poor cameras fault. Remember the camera doesn't get to pick the owner. You pick the camera.
