Reply to comment by Rohit_BFire in TIL Instax Mini images are not low resolution because they are not digital. They are analogue prints with a resolution of 12 lines per millimeter, developed by Fujifilm with a soft grain structure and enhanced saturation curve by Ok_Copy5217

any photographers can explain this for the layperson? how much detail or resolution is in this film format?

Fujifilm states their instant film can resolve approx. 12 lp/mm (that’s line pairs, not pixels). Instax Mini has 46mm × 62mm image size, so theoretically you should be able to squeeze some 1100x1500 pixels image out of it with a solid flatbed scanner. That’s 1.65 megapixels in “digital language”.

from a quora user.

my phone has about 12MP, a good dslr has 24-48+ MP sensor

I wonder how the Instax Square holds up, because some pics I took with it are hella sharp.
