Fujifilm Instax MINI 25 Instant Film Camera (White)

I started my instant photo journey last summer when I randomly acquired an old Polaroid 660. When I was very young, one of my dad’s friends had a Polaroid camera and I remember just being obsessed with watching the film develop right in front of my eyes! It was the most fun thing ever! Needless to say, I was absolutely stoked when a friend was moving and gave me this camera in perfect condition! However, my happiness was pretty short-lived. Asides from the camera being so fun with great vintage details, it is huge!! So I find myself not bringing it out with me as much as I like for fear of dropping it/annoyance of carrying it around so protectively (I’m a pretty clumsy one!). And don’t even get me started on the film issue): Polaroid went bankrupt in 2008 and all their film went away with them. The alternative is just sooo pricey with very varied results that I just can’t justify buying too much of it. So as much fun as that was.. it wasn’t. This got me looking and wanting to buy an instant camera that I could: 1)take with me wherever – easily! and 2)be able to readily buy film with good predictable results for a decent price…. This little guy fits that EXACT description! I originally, planned on getting an Instax mini 8, but somehow stumbled upon the 25 and loved that it was so much smaller and sleeker. I literally could not wait to get this in the mail! Upon receiving it, my first reaction was that this is SO CUTE and so small! I can fit this in even the smallest of my purses! You can see this by looking at the picture where I compared it next to a pair of standard sized scissors. The box came with the two batteries you need for operation, a small hand strap, manuals and the macro lens. I wish that it came with a little pouch to put the camera in for travel but there are so many pros that this little con doesn’t even matter. I love that all you need to buy is the film and you are ready to go. The picture quality did not disappoint! Yes, they are small but I am okay with that because of the ease in finding film (lots of cute film!) and the ease in transporting my new camera. The camera settings are also so easy to use. I took a picture of my doggies for the first tester and I had waaay too much fun watching the film develop into nice crisp colors without the hassle of having to hide it in the dark first. I haven’t had a chance to use the macro lens yet, but I have a feeling it will not disappoint either. Overall, great camera, easy to use, and easy to carry! Would recommend to anyone who misses the instant photography and wants tangible pictures (it’s so refreshing after all this digital photography!) and would also suggest you get yourself some type of pouch to keep this in to protect it from damage.

I purchased this Polaroid camera for my Disney trip because it's smaller/lighter and more portable compared with the 7S. This camera use intax Mini film. A fair warning, the picture is not big. It's mini size. I like it. Some Pro and Cons that I experienced in this Diney Trip. We took total 64 pictures. Most are good. A few are bad due to my skill and camera's limitation. Pro 1. This camera took good pictures. It came with a small lens. The lens can make distance further for you to take a picture for self-shooting. ( You take a picture of yourself or whoever is in front of camera while you are holding camera). It has a very small mirror on the camera, so you can see yourself. This is a great feather. 2. You can hold your camera both vertically or horizontally without worry about where the shoot button is. There are TWO shoot button. One for you to click when you holding the camera vertically, and another for you to click when you are holding horizontally. 3.Films are very easy to replaced and install. I don't even know how to say it..It's just too easy that I can't write a step by step instruction here... 4. You can choose if you want your picture to be darker or lighter. you can choose these two mode before you shoot a picture. Cons 1. Lack of a few extra functionality. For example, you can't turn off the flash. You can either choose automatically fire up or fire up. 2. You can not zoom your lens. You can only move forward to your objects. You can't zoom your lens to get a closer shot. 3. I have no idea how to use the camera to shoot a far away object at "night". The picture come out very very dark. ( I try lighter mode too). I don't think this camera is for you to shoot any landscape...you won't get a decent picture...I try to shoot the Cinderalla's castle and the giant ball in Epcot..Pictures are not great. Overall I really recommend this camera, but you need some practice. some tips below 1. Never stand too far away from your objects...or you won't get a very clear and detailed picture. 2. Only use the lens when you try to do self-shooting or need some distance from the object. The lens can help you create more distance without standing further away. 3. It's just not for landscape shooting. Overall, I love it =]

So far, so good. I've only taken a few practice shots, but I'm very happy with the camera. I'm using the pictured FujiFilm Instax mini film with the FujiFilm Instax Mini 25 camera. The camera comes with batteries, white wrist strap, a weird close-up lens, and not-so-great instructions (but it's pretty easy to figure out). The flash can be turned on/off and there is an adjustment for lighter/darker exposure, but of course you will likely have to waste a picture to realize you need to adjust it for your next shot. The photo of the tree was taken with the film pictured, in a dark room with an LED nightlight behind me and the camera flash on. I've found the picture details to be shockingly impressive. The camera is rather large at appx 5" x 5" x 2". The photos it spits out are the expected credit card size, 3.5" x 2" and this film took about 30-60 seconds to fully develop. There's a little tiny reflective piece on the front of the camera by the lens that is surprisingly effective for selfies. The close-up lens easily snaps onto the camera lens, but I'm not going to waste film experimenting with that because honestly if I want a close-up of something, I'll just...get closer. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase, but if I do run into trouble down the road I'll update my review.

2-7-13 -- This camera is fun to take to get-togethers with friends, and they are always pleasantly surprised that instant cameras like this are still being made since Polaroid discontinued theirs. The resolution is not as high as a regular digital camera, so the pictures don't enlarge well, but the color is quite good. You can scan the 2 x 3-inch pictures to send people copies from your computer. The film and C2 batteries are readily available. The camera is light and easy to use, and is the perfect party camera to give people an instant souvenir. It seems a bit overpriced at $83, but that's my only complaint.

I love this little camera. So glad I bought it! It's true that instant film costs more than using a digital camera and ordering prints. But the beauty of this kind of camera is that it makes you value the picture more- you can't just point and shoot wildly and then edit whatever comes out later. You also need to learn how to use proper lighting and use flash to your advantage, or you will waste a lot of film. I use this camera for special occasions and moments that I really want to remember, not just casual everyday pictures. And I love being able to flip through physical prints when I want to revisit memories. This camera is the least expensive of its kind and it is a quality product. I've never had any issues with it working, and it's easy to use.

Very easy to use and set up. I also reviewed a tutorial on line. this is one cute camera and you'll love it if you were a kid in the late 60's/70's with polaroids. New funky fresh take on the polaroid type camera. Love that it has a little mirror on the front for selfies! Has a window which shows how much film is left and you can pick your exposure light to dark. Pictures are about the size of a credit card and come out pretty nice. Don't expect the quality of a SLR or digital type camera. This is meant to be what it is - a fun camera. Comes with a strap to attach and 2 CR batteries. The film isn't cheap, but it's a novelty type camera and you expect that. I do wish it at least came with a 10 pack of film.

I love this camera. You should be smart about its limitations before purchasing, though. This isn't going to produce super sharp, high-quality pictures. It can produce really nice photos, but it's kind of a gamble every time you take a picture. I've taken some super cool pictures with this thing, some pretty OK ones, and others that I've had to throw away. That's kind of a bummer when the film is so expensive, but that's the deal with this kind of basic technology. I think the uncertainty is kind of fun overall, part of the analog experience. This camera is super fun to use at parties (I had it at a wedding, and it was definitely a conversation starter) because people love being able to watch the pictures develop. There's something really exciting and fun about it. I'd advise reading the entire manual and committing to wasting a pack or two of film when you first get it so you can figure it out. I'm still learning the best way to use this camera, but I think of that as being part of the fun.

I've never own one instant camera before, and was searching for some polaroid. But after much searching, I gave up of owning a polaroid, cause the films of a polaroid are really expensive! Then, I went considering Instax mini 7 and Instax Mini 25. And with comparison with Instax Mini 7 and Instax Mini 25, Instax Mini 25 is definitely smaller, lighter and of a very cute and pretty appearance!! :D I really love my Instax Mini 25 alot! It's really easy to use, and there's also another button at the side for you to take photos horizontally! (: The photos printed out are also of very high and clear quality! :D I got it for less than 2days, and people around me were asking me where did I get it, and they seem very interested to buy one too! :D Overall: 5STARS! :D

Ottima macchinetta dalle dimensioni ridotte ma dalla fantastica resa. I colori delle stampe sono 'vintage' e danno quindi un gusto retrò alla foto. I primi piani risultano più dettagliati rispetto alle foto scattate al panorama. C'è anche la possibilità di schiarire o scurire la foto (prima di scattarla, schiacciando il bottone L/D) a seconda delle condizioni della luce esterna. Il flash è sempre automatico, quindi sempre in azione. Si può inoltre decidere, con l'apposito bottone, la funzione panorama (tasto con le montagne). L'unica pecca effettiva è la dimensione ridotta della foto, circa 6,5cmx4,5cm (formato carta di credito)... Ma per immortalare i momenti migliori basta! La macchinetta è anche dotata di una lente esterna che viene applicata all'obiettivo. Serve per scattare foto a soggetti molto vicino (circa 35-50cm) e per far risaltare i dettagli dei potenziali primi piani.

Fotografieren macht Spaß und Handhabung echt leicht. auch für Selfies geeignet, durch kleinen Spiegel neben der Linse, auch in Querformat da zweiter Auslöser sehr praktisch ist :) toller Kauf, bin super happy damit :)

Super appareil photo qui va remplacer le Polaroïd de notre jeunesse et que nos ados nous enviaient: Le format photo est plus petit , ( format carte bancaire) mais quel bonheur'..alors d'accord les pellicules sont assez chères mais les dernières achetées venaient direct de Corée à un prix plus abordable... Un vrai plaisir à ne pas bouder car le résultat est bluffant, simple d'utilisation , qui va cartonner en France dans très peu de temps...et bravo à AMAZON qui nous permet à chaque fois de trouver l'article recherché

لم يعمل التصوير بشكل سهل وسريع والصور كانت سوداء

Picture quality is good but a little complicated
