Wow. Just Wow. Besides my DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) camera, Instax Mini 8 Polaroid was one of my favorite camera ever made. Let me explain a little information I know about Instax Mini 8 polaroid. First of all, it is a shoot and print type of camera. It is an instant develop print like an old school polaroid camera. This camera are ideally for hipster people only. Although some people who are not hipster has it as well. This camera also brings back the old day where it can be printed to a retro picture look.This camera has various type of color. So far I have seen, yellow, green, white, pink, blue and of course black. Maybe there are other colors that I haven't seen before. Fujifilm designed a couple of Instax Mini in the past. This version, the Instax Mini 8 is a little bit slimmer than the old Instax models. Around the lens area, you can be able to adjust how bright or dark the background will be. Also, like regular cameras Instax Mini 8 needs battery to be able to work.
There are five different exposure to choose from; indoor nights, cloudy that has shade, Sunny but slight cloudy and lastly sunny and bright. Fuji Film also added "High key mode" where I can shoot photos with higher brightness and a softer atmosphere. In this camera, trial and error is not a good idea because it cannot be edited once the picture is being printed out and most likely the expensive film will be wasted.
In conclusion, I say this is a must buy. It is very simple to use but you will have to understand it very well to perfect it. Although, this is an expensive toy its a great experience to have it with you when you go to beautiful places to take pictures. The camera itself cost around 80-100 dollars but the film are more expensive if you calculate all the expenses you will have to spend in the future. The film cost 15-20 dollars for 10 shoot of film only. Other than that, if you want to turn back the time and try how it feels to have a retro perspective once again, this is a cool toy to have.
