All-In-Wonder Instant Camera
If you’re in the market for an instant camera, then this camera has to be the best in terms of price, features and portability. But in this day and age, why would you buy a camera like this? It boils down to being a fun camera that brings digital photos instantly to life in your hands. The Canon Ivy + 2 is the jack of all trades in terms of instant cameras. Using the Canon Mini Print app, it can customize and print your photos taken from your own camera phone. With an SD card installed in the Ivy, it can save off your photos while printing them, which I love because there have been countless times where I wish I had a digital copy from an instant camera. Let’s not forget that it does take instant photos too! The camera itself is quite simple to use and does not have a whole lot to tinker with. A simple on/off button will get you up and running. There is a slider on the top of the camera to choose between landscape, portrait and selfie modes. In portrait and landscape modes, there is an illumination to aid in autofocus in dimmer lighting. Yes, this thing has autofocus and has the very familiar Canon beep sound when focus is optimal. This can be attained when pushing the shutter button halfway down. Again, if you’ve used any point and shoot or a DSLR for that matter, this will be very familiar to you. In selfie mode, 8 LED lights around the ring of the lens illuminate to help your selfies brighten up. The 8 LEDs activate when the shutter is halfway down; go ahead and frame your shot based using the large mirror as a guide and finally complete the selfie. Around the backside of the camera is the viewfinder (sorry, no LCD display), a button to toggle between black and white or vivid image processing, and finally a button to toggle a border around your framed shot. It is also on the backside where you’re able to slide a cover off to load fresh prints (I think the max is 10 at a time), which is relatively simple to do. Within the Canon Mini Print app, you’ll find the one most important thing: the User Guide. It doesn’t come with one in the box and that might irritate some folks, but rest assured that you’ll have 24/7 access to the PDF version of it (and you can even download it and print it if you really want to). Moving forward from there, you’ll find lots of things that you can do in the app. You can access your photo albums from the camera phone, Instagram, Facebook, Google Photos (I am an Android user), and even shots from the Ivy if you’ve got an SD card installed and customize them as you choose (with frames, stickers, text, filters, or even free-hand draw) before you send them for print to the Ivy. You can also choose up to 6 photos and print a collage of photos on a single print sheet. If you purchase the Circle Sticker Pack down the road, the app will allow you to create prints using the Pre-Cut Sticker tool. Finally, if you really wanted to know what kind of shot you were framing, you can control the camera remotely using the Snap a Shot! feature which allows you to see the shot in real-time before you take the shot. You can evaluate how B&W/Vivid filters change your shot and even 2x zoom. You can adjust contrast, saturation and color balance as well. You can even add a choice of frames to finish off your photo. But to be honest, I don’t think much of us will use this feature full-time as it’s more fun just picking up the camera and taking photos, ya dig? Oh, and I forgot to mention it’s very simple to connect to the camera from the app; just have the camera on and press the connect button on the app. Picture quality captured from the Ivy is average at best and is on par with the other instacams on the market. If you’re looking for high quality shots from an instacam, I don’t think there is such a thing, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t great looking photos either. The 2x3 prints are all stickers and can be stuck anywhere your heart desires, and there is no ink involved during each print. You can rapidly fire the shutter button if you need to take those in-the-moment shots; the camera will queue up your photos and print them one by one after the fact. Finally, taking a selfie is very easy with the help of the large mirror. My one true complaint is the sensitivity of the shutter button. Depending on my grip, I found myself taking photos inadvertently. The shutter button seems a little on the soft side. Normally I wouldn’t mind this accident, but with each accident comes an accidental print. I don’t think there is a switch to disable instant printing, so you’ll have to be extra careful around the shutter.

Blurry pictures and buggy app
The Canon Ivy Cliq + 2 has some good ideas, sadly they are hindered by a buggy app. First off, I was very disappointed with the lack of instructions for this camera. When I say lack, I mean there are none, not even a link in the box. You actually have to go to the website and download them as a PDF to view them. This is undiscerning as this camera really needs instructions on how to operate it. The camera comes packed with a charging cable and a pack of 10 pictures. Each pack of pictures comes with a Smart Sheet. The purpose of the Smart Sheet is that it cleans and optimizes the print quality for each pack of pictures. Also, if you find that your pics are blurry or faded, you can reinsert the blue sheet at any time to optimize it again. The camera doesn’t use any ink. Instead, it uses dye-based ink crystals that are imbedded on each photo and are heat activated. This is a nice feature to save on ink, but as a trade off the photos are very prone to ink bleed from the smart sheet. The front of the camera has a large reflective mirror on it, so you can see yourself while taking selfies. There are also 8 LED lights that give you a good amount of light while taking pictures in the dark. There is also an SD card slot for saving pictures. Unfortunately, the only way I found this to work was when there is no paper loaded in the camera. The camera has 3 shooting modes, landscape, portrait, and selfie. Lastly there is also a frame button that automatically adds a frame to your photo. The photo quality is decent, but nothing to brag about. I found that many photos I took were very blurry or just out of focus. The Ivy Cliq 2 works best with the app installed on your phone. Through the app is where you can customize your photos before you print them. The problem I had with the app, is that the instructions don’t explain everything very well. For instance, you have to set the mode to wireless shooting mode if you want to be able to edit your photo before it prints. Otherwise it automatically prints a photo whenever you have pictures inserted into the camera. This caused me to waste a few photos before I was able to view them. This includes blurry shots, accidently pushing the button while holding it etc. I’m not a huge fan of the app itself, as this is the first and only app to ever have crashed on my iPhone. Not just once either, many times. It feels like the devs tried to put too much into the app and never really fully tested out all the features. Overall, I like the idea of the Ivy Cliq 2, but I don’t like the way everything was executed. I wasn’t very impressed with the photo quality and having to use my phone in order to see the picture before I print it is a nuisance. I might as well just take the picture from my phone and just print it on the camera through the app. I don’t see any real value in having another camera on me, when my phone has a better built-in camera. Too me this is more of a camera for kids and teens that like stickers.

Slim pocket camera and wireless printer.
The Canon Ivy Cliq +2 is a fun little camera that’s more like a pocket photo printer. I’ve seen a few other competitors around, but I think this is probably the thinnest and most truly pocketable. It’s as slim as a deck of cards and while it kind of reminds me of the old instant print Polaroid days, this little camera is easier to carry and does so much more. As a camera, it has a unique layout in that there’s a traditional viewfinder with a fixed wide angle lens, but the front of the lens has a reflective coating around it which serves as a selfie viewfinder. It seemed kind of gimmicky at first, but the reflective coating actually does the job fairly well, even at night. Keep in mind, this is meant to be a casual, fun phone, so don’t expect anything remotely close to serious, high end digital photos. In fact, your smartphone might take better quality photos but that’s not a problem here, because the Ivy Cliq + 2 was made to sync up with your phone through Canon’s Mini Print app. Setup was a breeze on my Android phone and thankfully the app is straightforward and easy to use. There’s photo filters, frames, stickers, text, and other custom photo editing options to choose from, but the best part to me is how it can sync up with my phone’s camera feed, Facebook, Instagram, and Google Photos. This was huge to me, because I have a bunch of photos on those accounts that I wanted to edit and print out for friends. In fact, I’ve been using it as a wireless pocket printer more than anything and there’s a certain joy to turning my friends into printable meme stickers right in front of them. The prints come out as 2”x3” full color photo stickers with a peelable back that reveals the adhesive. Adhesion is pretty good, kind of reminds me of a bumper sticker, but not nearly as permanent. Print quality is ok, nothing studio quality, but clean enough overall and perfectly suitable for casual photo stickers. At about 50 cents each photo print, it’s on par with other cameras with built in printers, but this might have the most friendly form factor. The translucent white has a pinkish sheen, the fit and finish is good, and the body feels sturdy despite being all plastic. I like this camera a bit more than I thought I would, but I think that’s because I find using it as a pocket printer for my phone to be pretty fun. For the price point, I do wish the camera was a bit better, but it’s good for what it’s designed to do. This is casual photography at its most casual. If you’re in the market for a fun and truly pocketable camera with a built-in printer, or even just a wireless pocket photo printer, definitely give the Canon Ivy Cliq + 2 a look. Being truly pocketable is huge plus and it's a camera I don't mind giving to little kids to play with.

Great point and shoot for instant memories—but...
Overview—The Canon Ivy Cliq2 is a nice addition for anyone who loves scrapbooking or instant memories. The Cliq2 comes with a 5 megapixel camera and a mirror-like finish around the lens for selfie shots. Despite the low resolution from the camera, it doubles as a mobile printer for printing from your mobile device using the Canon Mini Print app. The app offers many customization options from filters to overlays and stickers for that perfect photo. For those with tripods, do note, there is no thread to mount the Cliq2. The only solution is through the use of a selfie stick as the app functions as a remote viewer for taking pictures with the Cliq2 from your phone. It comes with a wrist strap, about 1ft micro USB cable, 2 sided barcode sheet with basic camera information, FCC documentation sheet, Cliq2, and a starter pack of 10 ZINK photo paper which has an adhesive backing for sticking to almost anything. If no photo paper is in the camera the Cliq2 functions like an ordinary point and shoot and saves your images to the SD card. No instruction manual included, must download through the Mini Print app. With all that said, a few of the pitfalls. It lacks any hold grip molds so feels rather odd in the hand which makes it rather simple to fall, use the included wrist strap. In my particular unit, there was an issue with the SD card slot. It didn’t click for removal, just bottoms out. Is this a design issue or defect in my particular camera? More details below. Did I mention ZINK photo paper is rather expensive? At approx $0.51 per sheet vs. $0.20 for a print double the size almost anywhere else. Cons—So lets go over the pitfalls once more. On day 3 of ownership, while using the camera for pictures to provide to this review I dropped it due to it’s odd hold pattern and lack of any type of grip. But ultimately, because I was waiting for a print to produce and lost grip when the film came flying out of the side of the camera hitting my hand. Call it butterfingers or call it clumsy if you’d like, just be sure to use the wrist strap for added safety. Now onto the biggest issue with it, the SD Card slot. I consider myself a fairly knowledgeable tech user so when I came across this issue I assumed defect. Most devices will prevent you from putting in a SD card in reverse. It will physically block you which you would really have to force in for it to go. When I couldn't click it out (push in until it clicks and comes back out) I assumed I did just that. I contemplated opening the camera but stopped before I did as if I had and broke the camera I wouldn't have been able to complete this review. I ended up using a small set of eyeglass flathead screwdrivers and managed to have just the right size to wedge them into the slot and grip the end of the card. What did I find? Turns out the SD Card was in the right way, just doesn't click at all. I returned it to the slot and wanted to see if it worked. Sure enough, snapped a picture and there it was on the 16gb Micro SD Card. I’ve owned various Canon products in the past so I’m inclined to believe this is a defect with my particular unit, however if there are other reviewers with the same issue then this would be something in the manufacturing process. For anyone wondering, if you snap a picture through the app the image doesn’t immediately go to the printer. It allows you to review and choose if and when you want to print. The same can’t be said of the camera as it lacks a way to disable instant prints should you want to review them. The only workaround is removing the photo paper. Conclusion—Overall it is a fun little camera but the issues and lack of customization on the camera itself (not the app) are pushing me away.

Super Fun Instant Camera
Canon has been pumping out some really cool portable photo printers and the Ivy Cliq + 2 is no exception. Whether you use it as a camera or a printer, it’s a really fun device! The camera itself has some settings that you can apply with the push of a button like Vivid, Black & White, and the option of a white border or borderless printing. The printing quality is okay to good: some photos have a blue ink edge, some will show blurring if the subject is moving, and it’s easy to over expose your shot in sunny conditions. That being said, I’m not totally put off - it’s got a digital camera “vintage” look and I kind of like that. If you want better quality, just connect this device to the mobile app and print specifically selected images from your smartphone. The Canon Mini Print App is fun and user friendly - it has a good selection of stickers and borders as well as filters. The camera’s physical profile is thinner than I expected, and it’s pretty compact for what it is. The lens does not protrude very much and has a super convenient “selfie mirror”. I love the iridescent quality. It's very visually appealing! The black wrist strap is difficult to apply and doesn’t match the camera, but honestly, that’s not really a main concern of mine so no deductions for this. A small charging cable is included, charging time is reasonable, and the battery lasts a good while - I've only charged it once since I got it. These 2”x3” photos are great keepsakes and awesome for scrapbooking given that they’re also stickers themselves! I peeled and stuck some on my laptop case, my fridge, and my sticker wall. I’m looking forward to sticking these on personalized holiday and birthday cards. The Canon Ivy Cliq + 2 has a small learning curve as the camera buttons are not all explained in the manual or literature, but they’re not hard to figure out. All in all it’s pretty easy to use and printing doesn’t take very long. I will happily keep using this device and I can recommend it to anyone looking for a compact instant camera.

User-friendly. Family friendly!
Canon IVY CLIQ+2 is a beautiful camera that takes equally nice instant square photos. This one also improves over the old Cliq camera which I've been using over the year. I have had some time using the camera and I've enjoyed most of the features the camera comes with. You can peel off the back of the Zink paper and use your photo as a sticker. It's' a nice take on a family photo for someone who loves photo stickers everywhere. One of the camera's best features I think with this one is the LED ring light provided on the front of the camera to help with low light issues. Flash does its job and it's pretty mighty for a camera of this size. This was fun to use at a party and friends seem to enjoy the photos bring printed out. It gets nice and bright to bring lighting to selfies. in fact, I think with the next version a bigger ring light would be appreciated. Canon made this as user-friendly to use as possible. The design of the product is nice with a "Paeralsent white" color that gives it a unique vibe. A big photo mirror in front of the camera gives an ample view of you and your surroundings; it also doesn't take long to charge and go. Viewfinder gives you more of the area of the eye. There is an SD card slot at the bottom of the camera so you can expand the storage. Cliq+2 connects to other devices through Bluetooth and the connection was just fine with my iOS device. Canon has an app called "Mini Print" camera where you can add stickers, filters, and other effects to your little 2x3 photos. The app does compliment the product and gives you more control over what you want to be printed. Speaking of printing it does a nice job printing but it doesn't print any faster than the first generation Cliq camera but I am glad that the Zink paper is still cheap for the camera. if you want or need a solid digital camera this is one the family seems to enjoy. the design is perfect but there are some things I believe that can be improved such as a bigger ring light for the camera but overall it's a solid fun camera anyone can pick up and use.

Pretty camera, okay quality
The camera is much more convenient to carry around than a traditional Polaroid. The pictures don’t print out the best quality and do not pick up dark scenes. Fun little camera to have around

Super fun for the whole family!
I am having so much fun with this new camera! My girlfriend’s little sisters are delighted by the fun they are having with getting in the Canon mini print app and adding fun frames and text to the pictures and then having them print out as-edited seconds later! The setup on this camera was super easy. Out of the box, I just made sure to charge it up using the included micro USB cable and then I followed the instructions on the handy little instruction card included. The download of the app was easy on my iPhone-I just used the included QR code in the instructions to get to the app in the AppStore quickly. The printer included 10 2”x3” sticky-backed paper sheets ready to go in this thing! We just loaded them up and the camera was ready to go! Additional Zero Ink printer paper is affordable and easy to get through any major e-tailer store! One of the coolest things I am enjoying is the complete control of the camera and printing function through the smart phone. You can take pictures with the camera itself using your smartphone OR you can use your smartphones camera through the app and have pictures printed out through the printer function of the camera! Overall, I think this camera is a great gift idea or a fun item for those who like to scrapbook or enjoy the pleasure of having hard copy pictures right away!
