Review: Daughter loves it - The instax mini 12 camera in pastel blue is a delightful addition to the world of instant photography. Its charming, compact design and vibrant color immediately catch the eye, making it as much a fashion accessory as it is a functional camera. The pastel blue hue is both trendy and cheerful, perfect for capturing memories in style. One of the standout features of the instax mini 12 is its user-friendly interface. Setting up the camera is a breeze, even for beginners. The straightforward controls ensure that you can start taking photos almost immediately out of the box. The camera's simplicity does not compromise its functionality, making it accessible to photographers of all skill levels. The instax mini 12 excels in producing high-quality instant prints. Each photo boasts vivid colors and sharp details, characteristic of the beloved instax film. The camera’s automatic exposure function is particularly impressive, adjusting the shutter speed and flash to suit the lighting conditions. This results in well-exposed photos whether you’re shooting in bright sunlight or indoors. The built-in flash is effective without being overpowering, ensuring that subjects are well-lit without washing out the photo. One of the features I particularly appreciate is the close-up mode. By simply twisting the lens, you can switch to close-up mode, allowing you to capture detailed shots from as close as 30-50 cm away. This is perfect for portraits or capturing the finer details of your subject. The selfie mirror next to the lens is another thoughtful addition, making it easier to frame self-portraits and group shots accurately. The camera’s instant gratification factor is one of its main appeals. Watching a physical print develop in your hand within seconds of taking a photo never gets old. It’s a joy to share these tangible memories with friends and family, something digital photos can't replicate. The compact size of the prints also makes them ideal for scrapbooking or displaying on a wall or fridge. While the instax mini 12 camera is a fantastic device, it’s worth noting that the cost of film can add up. Each pack of film contains 10 shots, so frequent use may require a steady supply of refills. However, the joy and nostalgia of instant photography often outweigh the cost, making it a worthwhile investment for those who cherish printed memories. In terms of battery life, the instax mini 12 performs admirably. It uses two AA batteries, which are easy to replace and readily available. The battery life is sufficient for several packs of film, ensuring you won’t run out of power during a day of shooting. Overall, the instax mini 12 camera in pastel blue is a delightful, fun, and functional camera that brings the magic of instant photography to life. Its combination of stylish design, ease of use, and high-quality prints make it a must-have for anyone looking to capture and share moments in a uniquely tangible way. Whether you’re an avid photographer or someone looking to add a bit of whimsy to your snapshots, the instax mini 12 is sure to impress.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great but expensive and lacks some features
*by E***N on 27 December 2025*

Daughter loves it, best present she's had. Pictures come out a little over exposed at times and the films are expensive, so be prepared for that.
