I've always wanted an instant camera, so I decided to get one and after some vigorous internet searching I found out 2 things: One- That polaroids are dead (literally) and that Two- Fuji Instax was the new polaroid! Then there was the choice of MINI or WIDE, I ultimately chose Wide, and it was a GREAT choice! I really do love it, the images that are produced from this camera is almost like the quality of the digital ones and since it is WIDE it can be taken with many people in the scene and is good for landscape photos too, but one thing to watch out for is the flash, up too close or if it is too dark, the flash will go off (it always does) and may wash out the image that you're taking, although not that much, in fact it sorta gives it more of a retro- type look, which I like.
This camera is very easy to use, a click and about a short flash later your picture is taken, its quite sturdy but may be abit heavy, after putting the films and batteries in that is, the close-up lens is good, and the strap...for some reason I have no idea how to put on my camera- still figuring it out, but nevertheless still good. Lastly, about the "BIG" thing that nearly everybody mentions....its really not that big! Well, I personally don't think so, my sister thinks its HUGE but yea, probably depends on the eye of the beholder.
This camera was a great choice and a great buy, I totally love it and will probably take it with me everywhere I go from now on!
