Rankings
The Instax Mini 12 is an entry-level analog instant camera focused on simplicity, featuring a twist-to-power lens, selfie mirror and fully automatic exposure. It's lightweight and cheap to operate but lacks manual controls and a robust build.
The Kodak Printomatic is a tiny point-and-shoot camera with an integrated ZINK printer that creates 2×3" adhesive photos. It's easy to use and portable, but suffers from slow printing, lack of preview screen, and mediocre image quality.
