About the Product

To use, simply snap, print, and share your photos - that's it! Take it on the go so you can send friends and family home with pictures of their own within minutes. The film counts down like a disposable camera so you know how many pictures are left before you change the film.

The new, compact INSTAX Mini 8 color models preserve the ease of use and attractive design elements of the existing INSTAX Mini series. At the same time, the Mini 8 cameras offer new features and enhancements. You will instantly notice a slimmer and lighter body. The INSTAX Mini 8 is approximately10% smaller than the Mini 7S in volume ratio. It is now even easier for the consumer to carry around an INSTAX with them everywhere. The new INSTAX Mini 8 features automatic exposure measurement. The camera signals the recommended aperture setting with a flashing LED light and the user can manually adjust the dial to the recommended setting. This helps the user capture the perfect photo every time. A new High-Key mode is available on the INSTAX Mini 8 cameras.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Polaroid PIC-300 Instant Film Camera

Camera is light weight and has easy to follow directions
This is light weight, cute color and that instant gratification of having a photo in hand is such fun.
Nice and compact, with a more pleasing design than the old clunky instamatic cameras of my childhood.
Yes it is kind of bulky but that doesn't subtract from the fun you get out of it.
It is a little bulky and heavy but it takes real clear pictures.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Camera

Perfect size and weight for on-the-go traveling. A "must have" for fun times!
Great camera, very compact and light weight to carry around. Cool pics

It's light in weight where she just wear it around her neck (neck strap not included) takes under a min to load new film.
The only con is that the camera is quite bulky.

What customers say about "Features"

Polaroid PIC-300 Instant Film Camera

Easy to reload, and for most people, should be self explanatory.
Worked pretty well in low-light situations.
Flash worked well, and there were multiple camera settings (though a little hard to figure out without reading small print).
The flash is good with an auto adjustment so I am not too worried about the flash.
Film pack only holds about 10 pics, so refilling the camera occurs frequently.
Pictures are too small & poor quality.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Camera

Have physical copies of pictures
Battery lasts a long time, still haven't had to replace it
Flash is surprisingly good for indoor photos
Has 3 different camera modes: lighten, darken, and normal.
Tends to look best with a horizontal shot, but you can turn the camera for a vertical shot.
Slow to warm up
Small photo size
