Fujifilm's new Instax Mini 11 perfects the art of close-up selfies

As promised, Fujifilm unveiled its latest instant camera alongside the mirrorless powerhouse that is the Fujifilm X-T4.

The Instax Mini 11 looks pretty much like its predecessor, the very popular Instax Mini 9, but adds a few tweaks and comes in five fun colors – Blush Pink, Sky Blue, Charcoal Gray, Ice White and Lilac Purple.

Its physical tweaks include an interchangeable shutter button in the form of two stickers that allow users to customize the look of the camera. It's also a tad more rounded as compared to the Instax Mini 9, with curvier corners and a "softer", more "modern" look, according to Fujifilm.

The art of selfie-improvement

The Instax Mini 11's headline feature is its new selfie mode. While the selfie mirror from the previous model is still on the Instax Mini 11, there's now a mirror in front of the lens that can help with framing close-up selfies. The new selfie mode can be activated by pulling the lens barrel out until 'Selfie Mode' mark appears. This feature can also be used for shooting macros as well, as it drops the focusing distance to a mere 0.3m – no additional attachments needed.

The Instax Mini 11 also gets auto exposure, which will automatically adjust the camera's shutter speed and flash output to compensate for the ambient light. In the Mini 9, exposure was adjusted with a dial which wasn't always perfect.

While they may seem like minor tweaks on paper, the addition of these two features makes the Instax Mini 11 a very strong contender to be the best instant camera yet – and it's still easy to use and fun as well.

The new Instax Mini 11 will be available from early March at a price of $70 / £70 (Australian pricing to be confirmed) and we can't wait to play with it.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS.

He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
