Fujifilm - instax mini 41 Instant Film Camera - Black
Model: 16844408SKU: 6621550Top comment"Good camera, but flash stays on...Excellent camera. Best Buy is selling it $30 above MSRP though. ...Awesome camera!...Felt like the features were a big upgrade from similar cameras my friends have had in the past and I feel like the quality of the photos was really impressive for an instant camera. "
See all customer reviewsSee all Instant Print CamerasProduct Description
Introducing the ultimate in classic style - the instax mini 41 instant camera. With sleek easy-to-use features and a truly timeless design, you’re all set for a unique and stylish photography experience. Take the built-in Selfie Mirror positioned next to the Lens for example. Paired with Close-up Mode, taking a selfie is simplicity at its finest. Simply align yourself in the mirror and enjoy being ‘in-the-moment’, especially with Automatic Flash Control. Close-up Mode also gives you the added bonus of capturing centered close-up images thanks to the benefits of Parallax Correction. Essentially, the Viewfinder adjusts the position of the ‘focus’ mark to the lower left of the frame. We’re only talking a few millimeters, but it makes all the difference. And to keep shooting casual, but intentional, the instax mini 41 instant camera automatically adjusts its shutter speed to your environment for ideal photos. Because capturing the perfect shot is far more important than thinking about adjusting any settings. Then there’s the looks. Even the toughest critic will be quietly pleased with this blend of vintage charm and modern craftsmanship. The textured, tactile body is great for grip, and the subtle metallic-like finish and orange color accents add a subtle touch of elegance. For aesthetically pleasing photos with minimum effort, look no further than the instax mini 41 instant camera. From an easy-to-operate lens design to Automatic Exposure Control that adjusts to the ambient lighting, this is one instant camera built for effortless action.Top comment"Good camera, but flash stays on...Excellent camera.

See all customer reviewsSee all Point & Shoot CamerasProduct Description
Minolta's MN67Z Bridge Camera features a long-reaching 67x optical zoom along with versatile recording capabilities in a small and compact body. Its 20.68MP BSI CMOS sensor enables high-resolution stills shooting and 1080P FHD video recording with low noise and sensitivity from ISO 100-3200 as well as SD 640x480p video in high-speed 120 fps.

Fujifilm - instax mini 12 Instant Film Camera - Lilac Purple
Model: 16806286SKU: 6536330Top comment"Great camera...Great camera to capture memories and trips. Great travel camera...It is perfect for our travels and capturing memories!"
See all customer reviewsSee all Instant Print CamerasProduct Description
The super bubbly INSTAX MINI 12 instant camera is bursting with joy, creativity and color. Not only is this iconic instant camera available in five super cute and appealing tones – Pastel Blue, Mint Green, Blossom Pink, Lilac Purple and Clay White – it’s fully loaded with easy-to-use modes and controls. Designed to keep up with life, the INSTAX MINI 12 instant camera is ready to go with a simple twist of the lens. Twist again and you’re in Close-up mode, perfect for selfies. Combined with the perfectly positioned selfie mirror, automatic flash control and INSTAX MINI instant photos, the INSTAX MINI 12 instant camera is a selfie extraordinaire. But that’s not all the Close-up mode can do. When activated, the viewfinder neatly pairs up with the lens, so what you see is what you get – no object shifts in your final INSTAX photo! (FYI the fancy term for this is parallax correction.) Because when you’re this close, there’s no room for error. Plus, with automatic exposure, you can simply aim and click. No need to adjust any settings, just simply fun photos every time. And with that in mind, once you have snapped, your INSTAX MINI instant photo will eject in five seconds (development time approximately 90 seconds). All without compromising on image quality. That deserves high fives all around. When you’re finished capturing memories, twist the lens again to turn the INSTAX MINI 12 instant camera off. But the fun doesn’t end there. Download the free INSTAX UP! App for a new way to keep all your INSTAX photos digitally, in one place. All you have to do is use the App to scan your physical INSTAX photos with your Smartphone and they’ll be turned into sharable, digital photos that you can edit, tag and save. Ready to twist & go?Top comment"Great camera...Great camera to capture memories and trips. Great travel camera...It is perfect for our travels and capturing memories!"
