I got the Instax Mini 50s because I thought that the pull-out lens of the 7s was a little random, and I heard that the flash of the 25 was not too smart. So I held out, and now...I have a 50s. I used to have some Polaroid cameras in grade school (both the color polariod and the B&W polaroid where you have to put an emulsion on the print so that it develops), so I have something for reference.
There are some good things about the new Fuji system:
(1) It has a nice clear, picture with fine grain (especially considering that it's 800 ASA film)!
(2) The camera is big, but not as big as it used to be with the polaroids.
The drawbacks:
(1) The images take a while to come up. By a while, think like a minute to see something resembling the final photo, and at least 10 minutes (I'm guessing, I checked again after an hour) to see full color saturation. The initial image looked a bit grey and washed out and low contrast, but the final image was sharp, saturated, and had clearly defined colors.
(2) The Instax mini film is pretty high contrast, even for 800 ASA. Suppose you have a diffuse light source in the room -- when you take a photo with a subject 1/2 in the light, the light gradient won't be as diffuse as it looks IRL. It will be much more marked, almost like a line. So you've been warned!
(3) The print is REALLY small. Now, it says credit card sized. That's kind of like the size of the film. There's a substantial border around the image, so it's actually smaller than a credit card. Perhaps 2/3 of the size of a credit card.
(4) You can't turn off the flash, even in landscape mode.
(5) Prints are something like...$0.70 each if you buy the twin pack (2 x 10 exposures).
I got this camera in place of a photobooth for an event -- it should work, and even with the cost of the film, it will come out to be less than a photobooth.

The Mini 50S is a different camera , and is probably the smallest instant film format ever made. For general photography that involves just the press of a button and getting a picture to put in an album the similar Instax 210 fits the role better; the pictures are wide format but about the size of the old Polaroids, it's cheaper at $60, and it takes 4AA batteries. The film for both cameras cost about the same, and you have 10 shots for each pack.
The Mini 50S is "compact" if it were a 120 film camera, which hardly anyone today has seen. The images are nominally "credit card" size, but that includes the border; the actual image is 1 7/8 inches by 2 1/2 inches--which actually is pretty close to 120 film. The is a very rectangular shape, and the camera is set up with portrait or landscape shutter buttons.
The 50S uses two lithium batteries which aren't as common as AA batteries, and it has a shiny finish that loves to attract fingerprints. It takes good photos, at least the same quality as the 210, and the flash times right.
Will you be happy with this? If you just want to take pictures of the kids and vacations and get an instant print then the 210 is a better and cheaper option. If you like something with a little kitsch and that can take wallet size pictures then you'll probably like the 50S.

Small. Light. Fun!
The only drawbvack is the cost per print...but hey, you technically are saving money from the gas, time, and cost of photodevelopment.
I love this little gadget. One of my favorite purchases in a long time!!!

Instax Mini 50S film Camera
Pictures are very small and don't have a lot of clarity. However the convenience of size and immediate print worth it to me. Film needs to be less expensive to warrant 5 starts.

It tooks better quality pictures, especially when you are on the seashore

Fantastic little camera
It's the slimmest Instax camera to date. Beautifully designed in black which looks classy. It's photos appear to be slightly higher in contrast than the older models.
