I tested the Instax Pal 2 for three weeks and it’s the ultimate retro toy camera — except for the price tag

A dinky and retro design, audible and tactile controls, vintage-look photos, plus wireless image uploads and easy sharing — it’s easy to love lots of things about the Instax Pal 2. However, frustrating shutter lag, poor battery life and a lofty price tag are less welcome. It's a toy camera that beats the Kodak Charmera on every front bar pricing, though, and I hope it drops to a sensible price soon.
