Review on Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Film Camera (Grape) (Discontinued By Manufacturer) by Jason Ballard

I love these little cameras! I have already given two of these away to friends and they are just as in love with them! The blue color displayed in the photos is the same as the real color of the camera. So far my friends haven't had any complaints about how well the cameras work. I have a different color but as this is only a cosmetic difference I will give my personal opinion on my camera. Ease of Use: 4/5 This camera is SO easy to use. While the point here is to be point-and-shoot, you may find your photos are slightly off-center and shifted to the left if you rely solely on viewing through the viewfinder. A helpful tip I've given my girlfriends is if you think your photo is perfectly centered, turn your camera a little to the right and they'll come out beautiful! Also, don't forget to adjust the lighting settings as prompted by the camera. If you forget to do this, your photos will almost certainly end up too dark or overexposed, and film is NOT cheap! Rating: 5/5 Very easy to set up. Literally all you have to do is insert the included batteries. Reading the instructions will be very helpful when inserting the foil for the first time, so make sure you don't throw it away! Value for money: 5/5 This camera is worth every penny. This is the cheapest Revain yet. Although it's also sold at Michael's and Urban Outfitters, they'll charge you over $100/$200 when you can just buy it online for less. This camera is an investment. Buying movies will be the most expensive part of ownership, but if you shop around and compare prices, you can easily find movie packages that can save you a few bucks. I love this camera. Since I bought it, I've become a lot more selective when taking photos. I will no longer photograph random items as film only comes in packs of 10 sheets. I love that the photos print instantly and are so easy to show off and share with others. My camera is always a hit at parties and on vacation. It saves me the trouble of draining my phone's battery if I'm constantly taking photos, which is definitely a plus! It is very small and not at all uncomfortable to carry. I bought a case for him and bought the same case as a gift for their cameras. I definitely recommend getting a case and a snap-on selfie mirror for this camera!
