Instax Mini 12 Instant Camera - Lilac Purple

Best camera for fun shots ever! Every photo is filled with family and friends! Not food not sunsets not waves. But people in sunsets and waves and enjoying dinner together with half eaten plates. REAL LIFE! Alive. Love love love this product

My daughter received this camera for Christmas. The camera is a soft pink and super cute. It’s a little on the big side and the Polaroids that come out are small and on the darker side. The film is also on the expensive side. Overall fun but don’t expect the pics to come out big and clear.

Once again this is not the exact camera I have, I have the Instax mini 7+, but Influenster did not have that option for that one. So here is my review on the Fujifilm Instax mini instant camera 7+. I got the pink one, but they also have (all pastel) blue, coral, purple, yellow. I purchased mine from Walmart for $49, but the prices are about the same on Amazon and eBay. They had a lot better deals they were just sold out when I went to my local Walmart, but you can get a option with a case, accessories, 10 pics for $69. I had to purchase a "groovy case" for $12.88 separately. Then for $100 you can get all that's included for $69 plus extra pics, lens, album for the mini pics. Also the quality of the pics are really nice they have a retro (90s) vibe to them.

Also the quality of the pics are really nice they have a retro (90s) vibe to them. It develops really fast. You can purchase the film for the cameras for $7.88 for 10, $13.88 for 20, $35 for 60 and I believe about $59 for 100. They have the small $7.88 packs in all different designs and colors. But all together I am VERY please with this camera.

Amazing little Polaroid

My daughter absolutely loves this camera. Pictures come out great and it’s lots of fun. With that being said if you do get it for your child supervise them because it’s not a toy camera it’s a real one.However, the photo paper is ridiculously expensive and you can only use certain batteries in the camera Zinc AA batteries are not compatible and will lead you to believe that the camera is broken (constant red flashing light) when really you just need Alkaline batteries.

Easy and fun camera

Easy and fun to use!I actually bought this to send pictures along with a manifest for a literal barrel of gifts I’m sending to an island in the Caribbean. As far as instant cameras go it works great. I was alive and had the original Polaroid instant camera back in the day so I think I’m somewhat qualified to give a review. Lol!!The Fuji brand has been around and I’ve never had a problem with them, yet.This Fuji instant camera only takes a moment to get used to orienting the camera and turning the camera on using the lens. It’s easy to take selfies and close up pics, it’s one of the functions. In fact this camera has 3 easy setups, off, on and closeup. You can’t mess that up and we’ll if you do… I got nothing.No glitches so far, it’s easy to set up and ... MoreEasy and fun to use!I actually bought this to send pictures along with a manifest for a literal barrel of gifts I’m sending to an island in the Caribbean.

FujiFilm Instax Mini 8 Camera (Birthday Gift)

I ordered this item on March 13, 2017 and it arrived on it's expected arrival date March 22, 2017. So if you aren't in a rush the fujifilm instax mini camera is definitely a good gift to consider for someone who loves to take pictures, creative or wants to try something new! I purchased this item for a 5yr. old little girl's b-day party and she loved it. It is a rather simple concept that a child grasped the idea on how to use it properly after shown once. One of my three drawbacks hasn't been entirely settled because I haven't found out if it's because of the camera or the film that I had to purchase separately. When I put the film in to the Polaroid and gave it a test drive initially the first several tries it didn't work.

I purchased this item for a 5yr. old little girl's b-day party and she loved it. It is a rather simple concept that a child grasped the idea on how to use it properly after shown once. One of my three drawbacks hasn't been entirely settled because I haven't found out if it's because of the camera or the film that I had to purchase separately. When I put the film in to the Polaroid and gave it a test drive initially the first several tries it didn't work. We managed to get some films to develop and others it would refuse to register that we took a photo. So I as an adult was disappointed that the product did not work entirely, but when it did the child who had it was happy. So I heavily suggest if you do purchase this camera make sure that you try it out with the film first if you plan on giving it as a gift. Second drawback is for the most part the item is pretty self explanatory, but if you do have a run in with understanding the product I would recommend that you go on YouTube to look up how to put the camera together because the directions that come in the box is in every language, but English. Third, but inevitable drawback is to make sure when you purchase the film for this camera it is better off to purchase it in a larger quantity because it is expensive and I promise you if you get the 10 pack solely by it's self you will go through it within a matter of two days because it is so darn addicting once you do start taking pictures and it works! Overall Iike I said if you can make sure the film and camera is working copacetic then the product is definitely a 5 but in till I figure out if it's the film or camera I'll give a 4 and an A for Effort.

Good value camera set

A good gift. The stick-on parts are a bit of a gimmick, and the photo packs that come with each of these sets are probably the novelty versions that haven't sold well - I'd much rather a plain pack - but otherwise it's a good set offering good value. We haven't achieved a photo quality anything like the examples shown, but we've only taken a couple of photos so maybe we'll get better with practice.Otherwise, it's nice to be able to take photos that print straight away rather than just getting stored and lost on your phone. We'll take photos for the kids and put them in their lunch boxes to surprise them, and made a Christmas decoration out of our first photo.

Instant party in a box.

Cheapest price online during the Black Friday sales, beating all competitors - some by at least $50. Easy transaction to complete and easy to click and collect. All in all hassle free.The camera itself is for a Christmas present and untested to date. It seems to be the go to gadget of choice for kids aged 9-16 and there has been a lot of demand. The film obviously costs more than digital printing, but that's not the point of a camera like this. It's instant and fun -hence why these have made a resurgence in popularity.

Perfect

I have the mini 11 and really like it. So i purchased the 12. I like that you twist instead of the botton to lush to make the lens come out. Sometimes when i push the button it wouldnt come out all the way. Love the color choices, got the green!! Same great picture quality abd ease of use!! Pick your color and buy it!! Its worth it!!

Perfect Present

Simple, easy to use, child friendly camera.We purchased this for our creative daughters 8yr old birthday.She has had hours of fun with it, snapping all her favorite people.The mirror display that allows for selfie photos is quite ingenious.Each morning she flips the photo storage book stand to display a new picture, keeping her desk fresh & functional.Highly recommend this for any creative individual wanting a more tangible photographic experience, to use in their next scrapbook.- I only wish this had a zoom/focus option for the lens, but as an entry level item, it can’t have all the bells & whistles.
