8000 bucks for a camera missing ibis, super 35 raw crop, fixed lcd screen, a 13 year old lens, an antique battery, no weather sealing and no 60fps 4k video and no DXO camera profile for raw photo editing software like Photolab 8 just to start...
I think I will stick with an A7cr, but with all the missing features above with interchangeable lenses and virtually the same size particularily if you put the Viltrox 28mm pancake lens on it - all of this for basically half the price even with a sony 28-50 F2.5 G lens thrown in for good luck.

One issue I have with the 200 is that I find that the lens is plastic and produces instax prints that are not really sharp at all. They basically have this soft, iso 800 'instax look'.
I was hoping that the Instax Wide Evo would have a much better quality lens and would produce 'sharp' pictures.
How do you assess the sharpness of 'real', in-camera Wide Evo pictures (scans), so I can evaluate the lens?
