Fujifilm Instax Mini 7S Camera Review

Instant photography comes to Fujifilm with their Instanx Mini 7S which weighs only 11 ounces, features a built in flash and instantly prints out credit-card sized photos. Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn show how this snap and share camera could be the perfect holiday gift for only $80.

What You Need To Know

• The camera measures around 5" high and 3" thick.
• It feels very bulky for a camera that you're supposed to carry around.
• It's hard to carry this around in your pocket or purse and feels/looks more like a kid's toy camera.
• It weighs less than a pound.
• There aren't any special features.
• The film is very easy to load: line up the yellow markings and you're ready to go.
• Turn the camera on by pulling the lens out.
• There are only four picture settings, which is 4 more settings than a classic Polaroid but nowadays, it's nice to have more.
• Photos come out instantly and are roughly the size of a credit card.
• Indoor pictures came out fine while outdoor photos in bright light were completely washed out.
• The only good outdoor shots were on a cloudy day or in the shade.
• The viewfinder isn't the best when trying to take up close photos.
• The distance between you and you subject has to be within 20" to 4". After that, you start losing the rest of your image to darkness.

Price

• $80.00

Rating

• Don't Buy. The size of the camera, pictures and photo quality aren't worth it. If you a tried and true instant camera, go with a Polaroid. (How do we rate gadgets?)
