    The camera itself is nice, works fine, no problems so far. I've had it for about 4-5 weeks now. I have tried this in different rooms and on different settings. Different light exposures too. Pros: It works great. Has four different adjustments on the dial. Has a flash. Prints well. Quick and easy to use. Film is easy too. Comes with battery's and a wrist band holder thing. Cute. Very light weight. Photos are easy to take. Cons: Flimsy. Feels like a kids toy. Turning it on is a process that almost seems like you have to force it on (like it might break). The pictures are a bit dark. It does take a while for the photo to be officially finished. The viewfinder is very very small and hard to see through. Its kinda bulky, ugly in a way. Extra: The actual film is expensive. Make sure to test photos out in the area you will be using it before you do, if used in party's or weddings, ect, the light is very different everywhere. I got mine on sale, I suggest you do too.

    My daughter really wanted a camera to take fun photos of herself with friends and family when we go on vacation. This was the perfect choice. Aesthetically it is very appealing with bright colors. The size was not too big for my child to hold and carry around. It was also easy to learn how to operate and most definitely child friendly.

    So far I am enjoying my new fujifilm instax mini 9. My sister had the 8 and now they are pretty much the same when it comes to picture quality. I just enjoy the selfie mirror and my sister wishes hers had it. Other than that it is really simple to function. The settings are self explanatory, however I stick to the two outer settings. When i try to experiment with the settings in the middle the pictures do not turn out right. Film is easy to put in. Love the color. Camera is lightweight and easy to hold.

    Easy to use. Fun colors to pick from (including the film). My daughter loves taking pictures, printing them out right away, watching them develop, and showing them off. She can't wait to start creating albums. I would recommend buying the protective case, and a bulk pack of film (she went through the first pack in about 30 minutes). The camera really has a lot of features for what it is, and the flash is super bright!

    I gave this camera to my granddaughter for Christmas and she was delighted. It's very easy to use (she's 9 and she figured it out without any help from the adults) and it takes surprisingly good quality pictures. I had an instant camera (polaroid) when I was a kid, and now they are back for a whole new generation. It's fun to get an actual paper photo right away, rather than having to upload digital pictures to a printer.

    Great Camera If Your Expectations Are In Check

    So, Since I'm old and lived through the Polariod era, I am a certified expert on this. This camera is fantastic as long as your expectations aren't too far out there. Cons: Most likely the pictures coming out of this thing are going to be under or over exposed, period. This camera isn't going to take good photos, so please don't even expect it to. In the best conditions you'll be left with a photo that looks okay..maybe. Pros: What this camera will do though, is give your child something fun to occupy their time with. They won't care that the photos look mediocre at best. They won't care that the resolution is garbage. They won't even care that they're thumb got in the way of the photo and they can't use iPhoto to edit it out. What they're going to care about is the fact that they are almost instantly available for them to give to a friend, put on a wall or stick in a photo album. That's why you bought this camera, right? If it is isn't, you're probably going to be disappointed.

    Bought this camera for our 19 year olds birthday. She already has a very expensive camera, but wanted to add this to her collection. It reminds me of being a kid, but the pictures are way better than they were back then. Small, lightweight and so much fun. Great gift for kids or even someone who enjoys taking pictures as a hobby, or living.

    We used several of these little cameras for my daughter's wedding. The guests took their own photos and then glued them into the wedding book for an instant record of wedding attendees. It was a great success! We then gifted the nieces and nephews with the cameras after the wedding reception--also a huge success!

    This was so easy to learn how to use, great instructions, simple operation, and sharp, crisp photos overall. The photo engages instantly, so there was no blurring. My one quibble, the photos are really small,even with the close up lens. But, I just started using the camera, so it might not be as limited as I'm presenting. Overall, this is really fun to use, and a great gift for all ages.

    This instant camera is absolutely perfect. I use it for family gathering, special events for work and just for fun. It's a little bulky, but not too big. I love the accessories you can purchase for the Fuji film cameras. I bought the blue, so glad I waited for more colors. The price of film is a decent for the type of camera this is. You instantly get a picture. No need to wait anymore to go to a store and get pictures developed. I also purchased the fujifilm printer. Works amazing also, for those moments you can't bring your camera with you. It uses the same film as this camera. Such an awesome buy, im so satisfied and it's user friendly!

    I brought this camera for my teenage granddaughter (mini 8 version). She loves it and my 8 year old granddaughter used it with ease as well. I just bought her the mini 9 for Christmas. The film is exspensive but, it's great to have instant pictures.
