 Fuji Instax mini 8

The Fujifilm Instax mini 8 is a basic point and shoot camera that takes instant photos and develops them like an old school Polaroid camera. The analogue camera looks like a toy and and is guaranteed to have serious hipster appeal.When we live in a world where the likes of Instragram and Hipstamatic reigns supreme, the Instax mini 8 is much more fun way of getting that retro picture look. Available in five colours (white, blue, pink, yellow, black), the Instax mini 8 looks like a big kids toy from its matte plastic finish, chunky lens and big buttons.
 

Essentially this is a camera with very basic principles; to help you shoot pictures with the right level of brightness. There’s five different exposure levels to choose from; Indoors, Night (F12.7), Cloudy, Shade (F16), Sunny, Slightly cloudy (F22), Sunny and bright (F32). Additionall, there’s a new High Key mode to shoot photos with extreme levels of brightness and a softer atmosphere. There’s no autofocus and there's a shooting range of 0.6m to 2.7m, so you need to get up close. The flash has a recycle time of 0.2-6 seconds and there is a fixed shutter speed of 1/60 seconds. 

The Instax mini 8 only uses Fuji Instax film that comes in packs of 10 and measure 62 x 46mm. That’s about the size of a credit card, so these pictures are on the small size.To take photos you simply need twist the dial to the appropriate exposure level, peer through the viewfinder and take your shot. It's as simple as that. Images can take some time to fully develop and results can be mixed.
