Instax is a brand of instant still cameras and films marketed by Fujifilm since the late 1990s. There are two types of Instax film and cameras.
- MINI Cameras: Mini 7s, Mini 8, Mini 25 and Mini 50s (uses MINI films)
- WIDE Cameras: Instax 210, Wide 300 (uses WIDE films)
If you are deciding on which camera to buy, we STRONGLY ADVISE you to make your decision based on which type of picture you like the best.
If you decided to choose Wide films, then your choice is obviously Instax 210! BUT, if you decided to go with Mini films, you need to make a choice out of four available options which are Instax 7s, 8, 25 or 50s. Aside from the difference in wide/mini film, the quality for all cameras are similar, no noticeable difference at all.<
