Esoxoffore ABS-681 Black
Score: 80/100Rankings

A child-friendly instant-print camera that offers 1080P video, a suite of games and filters, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery lasting 2-3 hours. It includes sustainable recycled materials and generous storage, but like its sibling it only prints in black-and-white.

The Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 is a pastel-colored, compact instant camera aimed at beginners and kids. It offers automatic exposure, a selfie mirror, and fast 5-second prints, but lacks advanced controls and connectivity.
