- In this video I give the three reasons why I think the Mini Link is better than the Mini SP-2. They are both great instax printers, but there are some compelling reasons to go for the newer model.

Thank you!!!!
Lmao 🤣🤣 thankss
🙏🏾
Nice, thanks !
2:08 the sp2 image looks aesthetically better although I understand the point
Yeah I liked that one better
*Loving my **Bestt.Digital** portable Printer. Small enough to carry in my little bag and not at all heavy. Getting a lot of use out of it and having a great time printing on the go. Works for me.*
The first image comparison wasn't really favouring the Mini.
That roof complete lost its details and was somewhat overexposed.
That's more of an artistic choice rather than the fault of the link - the point was that the print on the link is closer to what I could see on the screen, than it was to the SP-2. It means there is more guesswork to getting the print to be the brightness that you want with the SP-2, as you couldn't rely on how it looked on the screen
THANK YOU I WAS LOOKING FOR A COMPARISON REVIEW OF THESE TWO
No worries :) let me know which one you end up getting!
Instax Mini Link prints overly exposed photos. In comparison, SP-2 and SP-3 give more vibrant and vivid photos. So basically, it all comes down to personal preference. I think I'd go with SP-2.
Bought the mini link as recommended on your videos. I like that it connects on bluetooth. But i think mini link prints too bright. Also made my unboxing video.😁😁😁
Congratulations! Hope you are enjoying it!
Stay tuned, I am planning on making a video for tips on printing on the Mini Link :)
another great video, thx ... I use the SP-2 with my Galaxy Note8/Snapseed and a Lumix GX80/Luminar and I'm happy with it
Cheers Andrea :) snapseed is quite a powerful editing tool!
SP2 is better because it has WiFi and if you have a Fuji camera you can send image directly to the printer. Also, the photos you shared using the SP2 are much better versus the ones from link.
Do you own the SP-2? Sending the image from the Fuji camera to the printer is good in theory, but in practice it’s not that great - for a start, you can’t move your composition around the frame before printing, and the print will usually cut off parts of the image, but it won’t show you that on the camera interface. I find the Link much less frustrating to use and just faster, that’s why I like it
Awesome video.. helped me
I have mini 9 pinkkkk cam it shoots subject sharp and bright but background little dark!! So I went for the latest and easy way connecting mini link printer loving it in pinkkkk
Thank you..💕💕
Thanks for the comparison!
Watching it in 1.5 works well still thanks
thankyou for reviewing
You’re welcome :)
Put the playback speed on 1.25x and yes he won’t sound weird and better ☺️
Thank you for your review video, I was on amazon wanting to buy the mini link. I think it’s best to buy the mini link going forward because of the software updates and new phones coming out. This is not like Apple where they provide support for their old products down the line.
Thanks for the comment Austen, and good point! Hope you enjoy the mini link!
One huge disadvantage to the Bluetooth versus Wi-Fi connection is that if you do have a compatible Fuji camera you lose the ability to Print straight from Camera which is so much fun. I think the beauty of Polaroids is that when you take a picture that’s it it’s either good or bad if I spent the time editing my photos I would want to print it on a proper printer. Just my opinion though
I agree, though apart from using it once to test, I haven’t tried to print an image straight from my fuji to the SP2/SP3.
thanks,I know which I'd choose.
Thanks for watching, glad to help!
Thank you, I was looking for this. Liked.
Thanks for watching!
Mini link photos are overexposed little bit.
Hi,
I just got the SP-2, but the prints come out really dark even though the exposure of the photo is correct. Just wanted to know if you had similar issues...
I have an SP-2 print test and video which will help. You need to make your images brighter before you print them because they come out darker on the Instax film
Thank you I’ll check your video
Best review video I ever seen
Thank you 👍
Thanks for the kind words!
Go to SP for detail reality. Go to Link for softer brighter images.
This is hard. I want both combined. Detail oriented but bright too. 🧐
Do you do comparison to SQ Printer too? If not I hope you do. Since I was contemplating that one too. 🙏🏻
Did you mean the SQ10 camera? I’ve been thinking doing a video of how I use the SQ10 more as a printer than as a camera
If you want detail, then SP-2 is for you - just have to makes sure you brighten your image a bit more before printing - I have a video with tips on how to print on the SP-2 that might help
@@TwoPatsTech Well if it is up, I would be interested to observe it still. 👍🏻
@@TwoPatsTech Thanks for the tips and advice then. I think I want to delay the time still. Recently saw Mini11. Now I was comparing Mini11, Mini70, SQ6. SQ10 is out now. I'm leaning a lot to SQ6 though. I watched the sample pics are a lot better than the others imo.
Tbh I am just standing on a tip, can't seem to decide which. So I am delaying my time buying the camera. 😅
You mentioned it only occurs on the sp2 but I notice small thin lines on my instax mini link. Just wondering if anyone else here is having the same issue
That's a shame, I was hoping that my experience with my Mini Link applied to all.
hi.. instax mini 11 and instax mini link support same films?
That's correct - they both use Instax Mini film
If I don’t have WiFi readily available, will I still be able to print from the SP2? Is the Link better if Bluetooth is more readily available?
The printers connect directly to your phone through Bluetooth (Link) or WiFi (SP2) so as long as you have a phone with Bluetooth or wifi, then you’re fine with either
if you plan on editing photos before printing I would go for new Mini Link as it prints (almost) same pic as you see on screen
What about SP-2 or SP-3? I'm having second thoughts.
@@ioioannah i have Mini Link, so far it is nice tho it makes photos darker and less saturated (but every polaroid does i think?), i still love it and the app is great. I would say go for SP-2 if you´re having second thoughts, trust your instincts :D My friend has SP-2 too and the differences are too small to see the difference
Sp-2 rocks. There's no reason to buy the mini link really.
Thanks for commenting - I do like the SP-2, but hands down the Mini Link pairs quicker and more reliably. Stay tuned, I’ll be doing another video, where I have the three reasons why the SP-2 is better than the Link.
I just purchased the Mini Link & I thought that I was going to be able to print directly from my X-T3 & I was not aware that it needs to have WiFi to work. Looks like I’m exchanging for the SP3.
The same reason why i got the sp2
Which is better sq20 vs miniplay vs sp2 vs instx minilink
Hi Arvind, I would stay away from the digital cameras ie SQ20 and Mini Liplay, as their cameras are not very good - your phone will be able to take much better photos, so I would go with the SP2 or the Mini Link
Two Pats Tech thank you
What are your thoughts on the SP3?
Hi Jessica :) I like the SP-3, and it’s essentially an SP-2 that prints on the instax square format. I will be doing a video on the SP-3 eventually (comparing it to the SQ10 camera) , but I think if you want to print on the instax square format from your phone, you don’t have much choice except for the SP-3.
Hi Jessica, I’ll be publishing a short video at the end of the week comparing the SP-2 vs the SP-3 :)
@@TwoPatsTech Thank you!
Farts.
I found that mini link wash the pictures a bit. Make white over exposed
I just got the Mini Link (I had an old version of the Share). I'm quite disappointed - the images have a yellowish tone, blues become blacks, the detail of the background is totally lost because it's so dark.
That’s a shame, but instax doesn’t have as much dynamic range as your phone screen does, so unfortunately you will never get the image to look the same as it does on your screen. I do have a video about how I worked out how to edit my pictures on my phone so that the images look the way I want them on the print - search for SP-2 print test.
@@TwoPatsTech Thanks, I'll check that out!
I've added a photo of a photo printed by the printer to show the quality. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx-p39-0aeo2zzlTJzXhwlZ_zUNm1lnIci Many reviews complain about the heavy yellow tone of printed photos; avoid this by editing your photos towards the blue end of the temperature spectrum. I also suggest increasing the exposure a little when editing because photos will print a little dark if you do not.If you follow these steps to edit your photos prior to printing, your photos will look too bright and too blue on your phone but they will print perfectly.Highly recommend!
Link doesn't connect directly with X-T bodys
I feel like fuji made a worse printer with the mini link. I've watched multiple comparisons and the dynamic range is way better on the SP-2.
They definitely built the link to a price - plastics are cheap, so wouldn’t be surprised if the components inside are also on the cheaper side
is money taht
