My kids love their mini polaroid cameras but do not buy one unless you are prepared to set up a chore list for them to earn their own film!! The film is SO expensive and with all the modern technology, I really had to help them understand that you cannot just snap 10 photos of the same scene to assure ONE good picture. Each picture is 75% to $1.00 so it taught them to really slow down when capturing moments. These cameras also don't take great photos unless the lighting is perfect. Not good if the sun is out and not good in darker rooms. Overall though, they've had fun with them.
Soooooo cute. I bought it for my daughter's 14th birthday and it's exactly what I remember those old cameras being. It's fun and she loves it. It's easy to use and adds a quirky quality to the photos.
If you have any melanin, you'll need to be close up with flash or in great lighting. My kid and neice are almost washed out due to their brown coloring but we still enjoy the camera and am happy with the purchase.
This camera was a hit at my sister's engagement party. Instead of a photo booth with silly props, I brought back the 90s with this FujiFilm and bought these clothes pin string lights that Amazon also sells. People took pictures and hung/clipped them to the lighted string which made for a great social activity at an event where you have all sorts of people from your life who don't know each other gather in one place :) just wish this had a memory card, but I won't take a star away for something it never said it had.
I love everything about this. However, I later discovered there's a "selfie" attachment out there for purchase. So I could've saved money and not gotten a 9 since that selfie mirror is the only difference from the other minis.
I bought a mini 8 case and the mini 9 fit it perfectly, just in case others were wondering!
My fiancé and I bought two of these cameras to take pictures of people as they arrive at our wedding for the guest book. Both cameras arrived in perfect condition and the test photos we’ve taken have been decent as well. Don’t expect DSLR quality, or even iPhone quality photos. That’s not what this camera is meant for in my opinion. It’s more the novelty and convenience of immediately having a photo, and the surprise of waiting while it develops. The film is the only negative aspect of this camera. It’s expenive! So plan on that if you decide to buy this camera. Low light photos are grainy and high light photos are slightly washed out, so be sure to plan accordingly. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase!

This helps the user capture the perfect photo every time. The High-Key mode enables consumers to take brighter pictures with a soft look -perfect for portraits.
Such a fun product! It's great for events and DIY photobooths. The photos come out great. The best quality I find is outside in natural lighting, though.
The camera quality makes you feel like you're in the 90s, it's great as long as you're not expecting crystal clear, see everyone type's of pore pictures. Great for when you chill with friends, and perfect for scrapbooking.
I absolutely LOVE this camera! I decided I wanted to do a photo journal and wanted instant prints for the book. It took a couple photos to figure out the settings but I think I have it for the most part. The picture quality is fantastic when I do it correctly and the fact that it prints instantly is on the best. After I received mine I went and bought another for my daughter. I wouldn't recommend this to children under 9, they tend to open the back of the camera and expose the film. My daughter was great with it, her brother however now have to replace some film.
Love love love this polaroid. The color is so beautiful and soft (was true to picture). I am beyond pleased with this camera!!
The perfect camera for any age!
I absolutely love this product. It is so personable for all ages and customizable for all different crowds. The strap that comes with it is a necessity. This allows you to carry the camera with ease. The strap also lets you be able to hang the camera from a hook or a chair for when you aren't using it. The reason that I think that the strap is a necessity is because of the fact that the camera isn't small enough to throw in most common purses. (Unless you have a big handbag.)
Fujifilm also thought of adding a little mirror to the front side of the camera so you can take and be in a photo with your friends and family with the comfort that you got everyone in the photo, and didn't waste a Polaroid. One of the small downsides is that the camera did not come with Polaroid film and the film tends to run and the pricey side. ($12 for 10 sheets) How I overcame this problem is by just buying in packs from Amazon and it saves you money and is very convenient.
The final thing that I love about this product is the feature’s they supply you with when you purchase it. On the camera itself, they installed 5 different settings for the environment that you are in. (Indoor, dark cloudy, cloudy/sunny, sunny, and hi-key.) These settings help tremendously. You don’t get glare in the photo and they are well defined when they print out! Lastly, they supply you with a close-up lens attachment. (Selfie lens) This helps with taking up close and personal photos of yourself, friends and family. I have used this attachment a lot with taking up close personal photos of my niece as we have playtime.
Overall this is hands down of the best purchases I have made this year. With all the features it supplies you with from the strap to camera features, the extra lens, and just the overall functional ability and durability of this product you can’t go wrong. This is a perfect camera for any age and being a polaroid it also brings a little history to whoever captures the moment!
