Independent testing
How much independent testing exists for each instant camera
Of the 7 instant cameras we track, 2 have been physically measured by at least one independent lab. Below is every one, ordered by how much independent hands-on evidence stands behind it — densest first.
A coverage record, not a ranking of which is best.
| Product | Independent labs | Metrics measured | Outlets on record |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fujifilm Instax Mini LiPlay | 2 | 3 | 2 |
| Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| Fujifilm Instax Mini 99 | 0 | 0 | 3 |
| Fujifilm Instax Square SQ40 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| Fujifilm Instax Wide 400 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| Polaroid Now Gen 3 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Each figure is a count of what independent testers actually did — how we count. A low count means little independent evidence has been gathered yet, never that a product is worse. See also the Instant Cameras buying guide and the reviewers we cite.
