FujiFilm Instax Mini 8 Camera (Birthday Gift)
2 of 2 found this helpful I ordered this item on March 13, 2017 and it arrived on it's expected arrival date March 22, 2017. So if you aren't in a rush the fujifilm instax mini camera is definitely a good gift to consider for someone who loves to take pictures, creative or wants to try something new! I purchased this item for a 5yr. old little girl's b-day party and she loved it. It is a rather simple concept that a child grasped the idea on how to use it properly after shown once. One of my three drawbacks hasn't been entirely settled because I haven't found out if it's because of the camera or the film that I had to purchase separately. When I put the film in to the Polaroid and gave it a test drive initially the first several tries it didn't work. We managed to get some films to develop and others it would refuse to register that we took a photo. So I as an adult was disappointed that the product did not work entirely, but when it did the child who had it was happy. So I heavily suggest if you do purchase this camera make sure that you try it out with the film first if you plan on giving it as a gift. Second drawback is for the most part the item is pretty self explanatory, but if you do have a run in with understanding the product I would recommend that you go on YouTube to look up how to put the camera together because the directions that come in the box is in every language, but English. Third, but inevitable drawback is to make sure when you purchase the film for this camera it is better off to purchase it in a larger quantity because it is expensive and I promise you if you get the 10 pack solely by it's self you will go through it within a matter of two days because it is so darn addicting once you do start taking pictures and it works! Overall Iike I said if you can make sure the film and camera is working copacetic then the product is definitely a 5 but in till I figure out if it's the film or camera I'll give a 4 and an A for Effort.
