4.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun!, March 1, 2009

Very easy to use and get accustomed to, catches everyones attention.
Bigger than you'd expect, film is a bit hard to find.
Battery life is reasonable, flash is a bit troublesome sometimes. Pictures still come out too dark if flash is used in a wide room or for far away subjects.
Overall very pleased and enjoying product.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Party Activity Camera, October 8, 2009

I agree with what has been said, that this camera is bulky and large. But hey, weren't all the old Polaroid cameras somewhat large and bulky? You don't but this kind of camera to pack in your pocket when you're on the run. The camera size got a few laughs, but hey, that actually helped draw attention to it and made the camera get more use at my party.

Having said that about size, the Fuji Instax 200 is a great party camera. Put it out on a table at a party and encourage your guests to pick it up and snap away. Great idea - put a photo album next to the camera with pens and stickers and other scrapbooking materials and encourage people to instantly turn their pictures into a scrapbook memory for the birthday person or retiree or whoever you're throwing a party for.

Picture quality is pretty darn good for an instant camera. At my party we had a Fuji Instax 200 and a Polaroid 600 in use and the Fuji pictures were much clearer, sharper, and more colorful. It is a very easy camera to use too. Just choose one of two distance choices, one of three light settings and then shoot. A few seconds later you have an instant memory.

I find the film to be somewhat expensive at about $1 per picture. You can get it for about .75 cents per picture if you buy film in bulk. So far I've only found film online at Amazon and the Lomography shop. So plan ahead and order enough film to make it through a few events.

Great camera. Not really for the "take it along on vacation" application, but if you're looking for that, Fuji makes a smaller Instax 25 (for about triple the price though).

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Camera!, June 1, 2009

This was a gift - my 70 year old vision impaired mother loves it! She can't operate a traditional camera so this was a perfect substitute for the old Polaroid she had. It's a little more cumbersome than her old camera but she likes that each photo comes through the top rather than the front of the camera. Great product!
