Review on Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Raspberry (Renewed): Instant Film Camera with Enhanced Features by Sammie Prince

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Don't buy "Reconditioned "

Terrible. I needed this camera for my guest book and decided to order a "certified refurbished" camera. As soon as I received the camera I opened it and saw that in the box there were 9 photos from the previous owner. As you can see, all the photos have a huge white spot in the corner that takes up most of the image. I thought it might just be a problem with the film, or maybe the company selling the product showed what was fixed. I put the film in the camera ("expires in 2018") in a dark room to block out the light and turned on the camera. I took a picture to see how it works and I was greeted with THE SAME WHITE SPOT. He was in the same position, same shape etc. I only took 3 shots to be sure. That made me think it must be a camera. It can't be that we both bought the same damaged film! Obviously they didn't fix what was broken. I'm usually fine with refurbished stuff but will definitely be more careful next time :( I bought Asurion insurance so hopefully the camera can be replaced but I wasted money on this now useless pack of film. Very upset. The film counter was broken.perfect.

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • Almost never
