Improved one-button operation Selfie mirror and close-focus support Works with black-and-white or color Instax Mini film AA battery power Affordable

Omits tripod socket No double exposure or other artsy features

The Fujifilm Instax Mini 12's easy one-button operation, handy selfie mirror, and compatibility with quality Instax Mini film make it the best entry-level instant film camera.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 Review

The Instax Mini 12 is Fujifilm's new entry-level model in its extensive range of instant photography cameras, replacing the three-year-old Instax Mini 11. Designed to offer a purely point-and-shoot experience that just delivers great results, the...

Overall, while the new Mini 12 may not represent a giant leap forwards for Instax cameras, it is more accomplished and more fun to use than its predecessor, and is still a great choice as your first instant photography camera.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 Review: Looks like a toy, functions like a toy

The Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 camera brings back some nostalgia for the tangible Polaroid pictures in the world of digital. It has cute aesthetics, a lightweight design, and some improved features from its predecessor. But at Rs 5,999, is it worth...

Lightweight ; Easy to use ; Instant photos

Price ; Focus issues ; Light balance

But for anyone else, the Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 is not something that they should consider. I mean don't get swayed by the name Fujifilm or the word camera. If you want a camera, you buy a camera and Fujifilm sells some fine ones. The Instax Mini 12...

Instax Mini 12 review

Fujifilm has successfully pioneered a renaissance of instant film cameras(opens in new tab), while hugely popular in the 80s and 90s, instant cameras almost went extinct in the age of cheap and ubiquitous digital and phone cameras. In recent years...

Very affordable Simple to use The most fun in photography

Still a little large Flash can’t be disabled Not always consistent

Fujifilm continues to perfect its most-popular instant camera, with new and improved power and lens controls. The camera has also had some design fine-tuning, with a smaller and more slender bubble-inspired shape. The Instax Mini 12 still provides...

Released right on cue in line with Fujifilm's three-yearly schedule, the Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 becomes the latest in a long line of Fujifilm instant cameras for newcomers, succeeding the Fujifilm Instax Mini 11. The Instax Mini 11 already occupies...

Easy to use Improved viewfinder accuracy Low-cost film packs

Still overexposes shots in bright sunlight Like holding a wet fish Prints are a little small

We have an idea in our minds of what the perfect instant camera for newcomers looks like, and with every iteration the Fujifilm Instax Mini series takes a couple of steps closer to it. The Instax Mini 12 is child’s play to use, produces lovely-looking...

Instax Mini 12 review

Fujifilm's latest addition to the Instax family is the Instax Mini 12. The Mini cameras are some of the most popular models on the market, and for good reason. They come with funky designs and are simple to use as point-and-shoot cameras. Whilst this...

Simple to use Fun and fresh design Competitive price tag Photos can be uploaded to smartphones

Struggles with very bright and very dim lighting Too basic for photography enthusiasts

The Instax Mini 12 is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a basic point-and-shoot instant camera. It’s super easy to use, produces lovely snaps, and won’t break the bank.
