Customers are delighted by the instax mini 8 Instant Film Camera for its ease of use, picture quality, and affordability. Many appreciate it as a thoughtful gift and enjoy the variety of fun colors it comes in.

    I really like the camera. It was a gift for my 13yr old niece; and my 5 yr old. I'm assuming the issue with the product jamming is the reason there is an updated version.One of my biggest issues was adjusting the scenery it always took on the home option which made the pictures really dark outside.

    This camera reminds me of my childhood. I love taking the photo and waiting for the image to appear on the film. The resolution isn't as sharp as the high MP digital camera... but that's not what I'm going for.

    I gave this camera as a gift to my granddaughter for Christmas and she absolutely loved it, as did her little brother. They began taking family photos and sharing them immediately.

    It is really good as a camera for beginners. The colors are cute, and the photos almost always turn out great. I love my camera so much, because I had been wanting it for quite a while.

    When I received this item I was very surprised to see the color was very different than the one shown online. I double checked my order because I thought I received the wrong camera. When returning the item the Best Buy employee agreed with me that the color shown on his screen was very different from the actual product. It was easy to exchange but I wish the color was what was shown on the website.

    I love my Instax! After having to retire my old Polaroid instant cameras because of film scarcity, I thought instant exposure was done for good. But Fujifilm came to the rescue with their own line of instants, and I'm so happy I picked one up. Pros: It's so CUTE! Seems to be durable, so far. It knocks around in my purse all day every day, and isn't any worse for wear. Instant gratification. Multiple flash settings, and the camera will suggest a setting for you. Easy to use. The photos make great souvenirs for friends to keep. I don't really have anything negative to say about this camera, but there are some things you may want to take into account before buying: The film can be expensive. You're looking at around $1 per photo. You should not expect your photos to be perfect quality. It's an instant camera, not a DSLR! Following the shooting guidelines in the instruction manual will help you capture better photos. Shooting with this camera is addictive. You'll be up to your knees in snapshots before you know it :)

    This camera was a gift to my 14 year old niece for graduating from middle school. It is so easy to use and really versatile, and it's been great to teach her how to take pictures that aren't all taken by smart phones. She is having a blast making memories and wants to start scrapbooking, which I think will serve her well as she enters her high school years! The pictures that this camera produces are of great quality, and it's fun pink color cannot be beat!! Thanks, Fujifilm for a great product!!

    This camera has a little bit of nostalgia for me & something new & exciting for my daughter. She loves that the pictures print out right away & that you can actually touch & hold them (she's 4 so she has mainly only seen digital pics). The film is a bit pricey though (almost $1 per pic) so I cannot just let her "play" with it & take a bunch of nonsense pics like with my cell. Still a nice purchase but more of a novelty camera than an every day one.

    Easy to use and fun. Got it for my daughter and she loves it but the film is quite pricey. The quality of the pictures are just like the old poloroids. The only bad thing is that there can be a bad film in the box. My daughter was upset when one of the pictures didn't develop....Note- film does not come with the camera.

    This camera is perfect for my tween. She loves having a camera that gives her a picture right away. She learned how to use it very quickly. The camera is easy to use and doesn't have too many bells and whistles, so to speak. The only issue is the cost of film. She has to be sure it's something she wants to take a picture of, before snapping that button!

    I'm in love with this camera! It's not your everyday camera but so much fun to use for little random moments. Took it in vacation to Niagara falls and took great pix. The quality of the photos is better than I had anticipated and exceed that of the Polaroid Instant camera. It's on the bulky side but like I said I didn't use it too much. We also bought a very convenient carrying case on Amazon that was PERFECT for it

    An awesome gift for a pre-teen girl! This was purchased for my daughter for her 13th birthday. her and her friends still have a blast with it! My only warning - each and every time a picture is taken - it's $1...the film is the expensive part, but grandparents, myself, everyone keeps the pics that are taken - its almost a throwback old-school nostalgic blast!!
