    The camera is a (intentionally so) straight-forward design with few components; however, there are different flash settings with very vague instructions as to their purposes and differences. "Trial and error" with the flash is not a great option with Fujifilm as the film is quite expensive and there are no do-overs. The automatic setting does a fine job, though, if you want to leave the other settings alone.

    My bf bought this as early christmast gift for me and I am so happy! It's the cutest camera I have. Been wanting this for a long time and it's a great product. Perfect for people who loves doing scrapbook and crafts. You'll get "instant" pics in no time :)

    I bought this as a gift for my little sister, who is very much into photography. My wife and I thought a "Polaroid" style instant film camera would be cool for her to use, as she never used one growing up. The price was very reasonable, and it turns out some nice pictures! The film is a little expensive, but we were able to find that on sale.

    My son loves this camera. I bought it because he'd been asking for a camera for 2 yrs now but he's too young for an expensive camera. I came across this one and it was perfect for him. Best birthday gift of all and he takes it everywhere he goes. The pictures are nice and clear and perfect size for him to display with his artwork.

    Bought this camera as a gift for my sister for her birthday. She's absolutely in love with it. Only concern is the pictures dont really come out well if there's too much sunlight (maybe shooting against the sunlight) or if there's not enough light but other than that the pictures are super cute.

    I was originally deciding between this camera and the Polaroid, but upon reading reviews, I found out this was the more loved product of the two. I decided to trust the reviews and my wallet (since this one is also cheaper) and it did not fail me. The Instax Mini 8 takes great photos! Very happy that I bought it.

    This camera is such a fun accessory to have. It is so simple to use, and the pictures turn out great for the size, and not being able to adjust focus :) The instant gratification of having the physical picture is the absolute best :) I have bought two of these, one was a gift.. I very much enjoy these cameras:)

    There is nothing like being able to see and hold your work immediately, which is why, in my opinion, Polaroid style cameras will never die. The credit card size prints are small enough to be carried anywhere yet large enough where you don't have to squint to see the image. The camera body is sleek and stylish and light weight. I purchased as a gift for my 8 year old daughter who follows me everywhere as I snap our life with my dslr; she is just so thrilled to stand next to me and do the same, and her ability to show her work off immediately will hold her interest for a long time to come. The camera is extremely simple and easy to use. Film loads easily. Highly recommend this camera!

    It amazes me that instant cameras are making a comeback. My 17 year-old daughter and her friends are amazed and entertained by this camera. It takes great pics and is easy to use. The only downside is that the film is expensive.

    I purchased this camera for my mother who used to have a Polaroid camera and loved it but now they no longer make them so this was a great substitute she's 81 and loves to take pictures of things around her so she was thrilled when I gave this to her great product and certainly affordable

    I think this camera provides a nice quality picture and the ease of use to have for all occasions! It is awesome to have an instant picture. The only down side is the cost of the film and limited number of photos on each roll.

    Love the fact that this camera is small enough to fit in your purse and you can carry with you. You get instant pictures to share without the hassle to having to wait to develop them. Also perfect to fit those frames of your children with the small size squares with pictures of them!

    I bought her the film, batteries, carrying case and picture book. She was thrilled. Without any help from the adults she was taking pictures of everyone. She found loading the film and batteries was a snap. She enjoyed the instant hardcopy picture that she was able to obtain.

    We bought this for our daughter for Christmas as she really wanted it! It seems to work great although the film is really expensive, $20 for 20 photos. Besides that, she loves the instantaneous photos and how they print out. Hard to believe Polaroid cameras are back!! ;)

    The camera is nice as an instant film camera. It's super easy to use and the photos come out good. But the camera is bulky. I don't particularly care for the size. My friends love the camera so I decided to keep it. I'll probably use it only at parties, so people can take the photo with them as a souvenir.

    The pastel blue is a really cute color as well as it takes the pictures how it's supposed to. A definite buy if you are wanting a Polaroid camera. Portable and not super super bulky.
