Capture the moment

Fujifilm's collection of instant cameras is vast, accustomed for all different types of photographers. So how do you know which one is right for you? The cheapest option might not be necessarily what you need. It's better off to pay a couple extra bucks for some better features that you'll find handy. They don't give the best detailed photos but who cares, it's all about the novelty.

In order of cheapest to most expensive, here they are:


Instax Mini 7S
Colour: White, white/blue, white/pink, chocolate
Pro: Cheapest option!
Con: Manual settings (choice of indoor, cloudy, sunny, and very sunny)
Comment: Great for anyone who just wants this camera for the cute little instax prints you get from it.


Instax Mini 25
Colour: White, Hello Kitty, white with pink, orange or blue sides
Pro: Self-shoot mirror and aesthetically pleasing (it's super cute!)
Con: No timer
Comment: This one's made for the typical teenage girl, comes with a mirror at the front for easy luvo accessibility. Full auto features so you don't need to worry about what the weather is and adjusting the dial that you would on the mini 7s. Comes with a macro add on lens.

Instax Mini 50S
Colour: Black
Pro: Self-timer
Con: A bit pricey
Comment: This one is definitely the sleekest of them all, same features as the mini 25 minus the mirror but the outstanding feature this camera has is a self-timer. This is incredibly handy if you want to be in your group photos as well!


Instax 210
Colour: Black
Pro: For producing bigger images (approx. double the size of the instax mini prints)
Con: Film is more expensive and harder to find than the minis and IT'S HUGE (hence why 'mini' isn't included in the name)
Comment: You'd only want this one if you want to use the instax for photography purposes or if you have too many friends to fit in a small business card sized picture. If you are interested in this one, you should probably see it in real life first to see if you're alright with the size of the camera because when I saw this one I was like "Wow! Talk about massive!"

If you've got any questions about which one is right for you, simply comment and I'll reply as soon as I can :)
