Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Camera

My 9 year old daughter absolutely loves this camera. I got it for her birthday and let her open it before her party because I knew she would want to use it. Her friends were crazy about it too, and all wanted to know where they could get one. They adored the small instant "Polaroid" type photographs, and were all sent home with a couple. I had to police the situation because they were nearly fighting over them....I took that as a sure sign they liked them. The camera is extremely easy to operate, and fun to use. The pastel colors are great for young ladies.My only caution with this camera is that the film is rather expensive, and it's quite easy to just keep "clicking" with it.Remember, just like the original instant cameras,you must take one "photograph" before the film is ready to use. I made this mistake twice with a new film cartridge in....try getting a dozen 9 year olds to hold their pose again!Overall, this camera is so fun and functional, I had to give it five stars. Although we have e not owned it for a long time yet, it seems sturdy and very well built. Even though it's plastic, it dies have some "heft" to it.Just so you are prior to purchase, this camera does not print regular "polaroid" size pictures. They are "mini" versions, but they are still very cool and the kids live them.Also be aware this does not take, or keep a digital version of you photograph. It works just like and older instant camera; Once it prints the picture, it is gone from the camera forever.As long as you are aware of the price of film ahead of time, and do not have a problem with that; then I recommend this camera without reservation.

This little Mini * FugiFilm Instax Camera was a huge hit at my daughters birthday party. I actually bought this as a gift for her for her Birthday and everyone there went nuts over it along with her.This camera is small and uses the instax mini FujiFilm which is so cute, they are fun size photos that are perfect to carry in your purse or wallet. She actually sent a photo of herself with her daddy when he went on a fishing trip for good luck.This Camera is perfect for kids and adults as well. I actually bought some accessories to go with this and they make the whole photography experience so fun.It is really easy to use, your film comes out instantly and that is one of the other things that makes this camera so great. Once the picture comes out you will need to let it develop which takes no time at all.There is a dial on the front of the camera to get accurate settings for what your are taking pictures of. There is a flash on this cute little camera and it produces nice clear photos.At first i thought this was a little pricey but i am so happy i decided to go ahead and purchase this, it is one of her most prized pieces and i will add she has a cell phone and game systems but takes better care of this than any of those. Great buy!

I love this camera! The tiny photos are very cute

I love these little cameras! I have gifted two of them already to some friends, and they are equally as in love with them!The blue color displayed in the photos is identical to the actual color of the camera. So far, my friends have had no complaints regarding how well the cameras work. Mine is a different color, but since that's just a cosmetic difference, I'll give my personal opinion of my camera.Ease of Use: 4/5 This camera is SO easy to use. While the gist of it is "point and shoot", you may find that your photos are slightly un-centered and off to the left if you solely rely on viewing through the viewfinder. A helpful tip I've mentioned to my girlfriends is that when you think your photo is centered perfectly, adjust your camera ever so slightly to the right, and they will turn out beautifully! Also, make sure to adjust the lighting settings to whatever the camera prompts you to select. If you forget to do this, your photos will almost definitely turn out too dark, or overexposed - and film is NOT cheap!Set Up: 5/5 Super easy to set up. Literally all you do is insert the included batteries. Reading the instructions is very helpful when you're inserting your film for the first time, so make sure you don't throw them away!Price for Quality: 5/5 This camera is worth every penny. It's the cheapest by far on Amazon. While it's also sold at Michael's and Urban Outfitters, they'll charge you upwards of $100/$200, when you can easily buy it online for less. This camera is an investment. Buying film will be the most costly part of owning it, but if you hunt around and compare prices, you can easily find packs of film that save you a few bucks.I adore this camera. Since owning it, I've found that I'm much more selective when taking photos. I won't just take pictures of random things anymore since the film only comes in packs of 10 sheets. I love that the photos print right away, and they're so easy to display and give to people. My camera is always a hit at parties and when we're on vacations. It saves me from having to use up my phone battery while constantly taking pictures, which is definitely a plus! It's very small, and not at all a nuisance to carry around. I purchased a case for it, and have purchased the same cases as an included gift with their cameras. I definitely recommend buying yourself a case and an attachable selfie mirror to go along with this camera!
