With the huge success of the major social media outlet Instagram, Polaroids are cool again. But who wants to deal with the hassle of carrying outdated, bulky cameras and tons of film?

 

The Instax Mini 8 by Fujifilm is a small instant film camera that allows users to capture and print Polaroid photos on the go. The camera is small, portable and can print photos in a matter of seconds. The pictures come out to about the size of a credit card and are perfect for creating scrapbooks and photo albums to document all of your adventures.

 

The camera features a 60mm focus range, flash capability and a newly improved viewfinder that allows greater clarity and visibility than the company’s previous 7s series. It has a sleek design and has an option to add a neck strap to keep users hands free while traveling. It comes in a variety of colors including black, white, red, light blue, yellow, pink and purple. You can also buy film that has varying colors and designs, great for kids and teenagers looking to decorate their rooms or have a fun DIY photo booth at their next party.

 

It costs about $50 and can be found in local technology and craft stores or online. On Amazon, you can buy the camera, film and a carrying case all in one neat package. The Instax Mini 8 is incredibly user-friendly and a perfect gift for travelers and shutterbugs of any age.
