instax mini 12 camera, LILAC PURPLE

The instax mini 12 camera in pastel blue is a delightful addition to the world of instant photography. Its charming, compact design and vibrant color immediately catch the eye, making it as much a fashion accessory as it is a functional camera. The pastel blue hue is both trendy and cheerful, perfect for capturing memories in style.One of the standout features of the instax mini 12 is its user-friendly interface. Setting up the camera is a breeze, even for beginners. The straightforward controls ensure that you can start taking photos almost immediately out of the box. The camera's simplicity does not compromise its functionality, making it accessible to photographers of all skill levels.The instax mini 12 excels in producing high-quality instant prints. Each photo boasts vivid colors and sharp details, characteristic of the beloved instax film. The camera’s automatic exposure function is particularly impressive, adjusting the shutter speed and flash to suit the lighting conditions. This results in well-exposed photos whether you’re shooting in bright sunlight or indoors. The built-in flash is effective without being overpowering, ensuring that subjects are well-lit without washing out the photo.One of the features I particularly appreciate is the close-up mode. By simply twisting the lens, you can switch to close-up mode, allowing you to capture detailed shots from as close as 30-50 cm away. This is perfect for portraits or capturing the finer details of your subject. The selfie mirror next to the lens is another thoughtful addition, making it easier to frame self-portraits and group shots accurately.The camera’s instant gratification factor is one of its main appeals. Watching a physical print develop in your hand within seconds of taking a photo never gets old. It’s a joy to share these tangible memories with friends and family, something digital photos can't replicate. The compact size of the prints also makes them ideal for scrapbooking or displaying on a wall or fridge.While the instax mini 12 camera is a fantastic device, it’s worth noting that the cost of film can add up. Each pack of film contains 10 shots, so frequent use may require a steady supply of refills. However, the joy and nostalgia of instant photography often outweigh the cost, making it a worthwhile investment for those who cherish printed memories.In terms of battery life, the instax mini 12 performs admirably. It uses two AA batteries, which are easy to replace and readily available. The battery life is sufficient for several packs of film, ensuring you won’t run out of power during a day of shooting.Overall, the instax mini 12 camera in pastel blue is a delightful, fun, and functional camera that brings the magic of instant photography to life. Its combination of stylish design, ease of use, and high-quality prints make it a must-have for anyone looking to capture and share moments in a uniquely tangible way. Whether you’re an avid photographer or someone looking to add a bit of whimsy to your snapshots, the instax mini 12 is sure to impress.

We love our polaroid. Just the right size and a great colour. So simple and easy to use with great quality pictures. The app is a nice addition as well.

I bought my blossom pink instax mini 12 camera, through the “used but like new” offer. I don’t actually think the camera was used before as everything was packaged beautifully. The camera works well, although I have to learn how to take photos with it. I am quite impressed with the tiny selfie mirror and taking photos of others or big subjects like pets, objects etc. On the other hand, I feel that when taking photos it’s quite tricky to get the subject in the frame the proper way. The circle that you see when looking through the view finder has to be exactly on what you want to photograph, however it’s tricky to get the subject like that. I struggled to photograph my beautiful flowers because even though the circle was focused on the flower, the photo came out of the leaves rather than the flower that was supposed to be in the middle of the photo. So there’s quite a lot to learn with how to take photos with it properly, especially if you want to photograph flowers or more complex things.I really enjoy using the camera tho. The little strap thing you tie on it to hold it up is quite handy and makes me feel safe when holding the camera-I am less scared of dropping it, especially because the camera feels a bit too plasticky and the grip you get on it is not the best.The only other disadvantage is that the film are really really expensive for it but it’s good to invest into it and make nice memories with the camera. I highly recommend!

We bought this as a 9th birthday present for our daughter and she absolutely loves it! It’s easy for her to use and light to carry around with her! All of her friends at her birthday party went home with a photo taken with the birthday girl - they loved watching the photos develop! Would definitely recommend it!
