Instax Mini Review

In 2016, I was given the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 for Christmas.

It's a cute little battery operated, point-and-shoot camera that I absolutely loved despite the Instax Mini 9 coming out just three months later.

Okay, I might have been a tad jealous when my friend got one, but the only real difference is the built-in camera located next to the lens.

I've had the Instax for four years now, and whilst it doesn't get much use these days, it's still a very cute way to print your memories.

If I'm going somewhere special with friends, I'll take the camera - and a spare box of film, knowing they'll all want their own copy.

Luckily, the camera has a film counter to show how many photos you have left before you need to change the film.

The Instax is just a bit of fun, really. It's a nice change from using your phone or camera to take photos with, not to mention cheap and easy to use.

There are icons to help you choose your camera exposure but everything else is automatic, making it quick and easy to snap a photo and just as quick for the photo to develop.

My favourite thing about it is that you can buy film with cool, colourful borders on or make your photos black and white with monochrome film.
