What reviewers say about the Fujifilm Instax Wide 400
Two whitelisted hands-on reviewers (TechRadar, Tom's Guide) covered this exact model, and both recommend it. They praise bright, detailed wide-format prints in daylight, easy one-button operation with improved ergonomics, fair value, and the handy new self-timer, but flag weak low-light performance / narrow dynamic range, the lack of double-exposure and manual flash controls, disposable AA batteries, and the fiddly clip-on macro/mirror attachment for selfies and close-ups. Neither ran lab benchmarks. The testers split on the sage-green looks.

Where reviewers disagree The two testers disagree on aesthetics: TechRadar's reviewer calls the single sage/'army' green colorway one of the worst-looking instant cameras on the market and felt embarrassed using it in public, while Tom's Guide found the same sage green 'lovely and fresh' and charming.

The Fujifilm Instax Wide 400 is one of the best instant cameras for casual photographers who like the appeal of wider prints.
I think it's one of the worst-looking instant cameras on the market (sorry Instax), and frankly I felt a little embarrassed to shoot with it in public.
I also found that this camera didn't perform as well in darker conditions, even when subjects were well-lit and when using the flash.
The prints turned out bright and detailed with a little extra saturation, while maintaining a retro aesthetic.
Photographing outdoors during the day is where the Instax Wide 400 really shines.
The Instax Wide 400 has a narrow dynamic range, though, so when you're photographing a scene with very bright light and dark areas, the prints end up with bright highlights and blackened shadows.
