The Instax Pal 2 will launch in the US later this month for $169.95, according to PetaPixel, and uses a ⅓.06-inch sensor paired with an f/2.2 28mm lens to capture images up to 10-megapixels in size. That’s a big step up over the Kodak Charmera’s 1.6-megapixel sensor. The Pal 2 has an optical viewfinder and a 1.3-inch LCD screen on top for framing shots and is equipped with autofocus capabilities including optional face detection plus adjustable ISO, shutter speed, and exposure compensation.
Atop the Instax Pal 2 you’ll find a shutter button, a joystick, and a functional lever similar to what old film cameras used to advance to the next exposure. The camera pairs with Fujifilm’s mobile app where you can select and download image effects to the Pal 2 or upload images to your phone for printing using a wireless Bluetooth connection or a slide-out USB-C port. The camera also features a flash, a tripod mount, a self-timer, and a rechargeable battery good for up to three hours of use, Fujifilm claims.
