Fujifilm Instax Mini 12
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Kodak Step Touch is a lightweight hybrid camera-printer with a 13 MP sensor, 10× optical zoom and ZINK color printing, offering strong performance and versatile features. Limitations include modest battery capacity (≈40 prints) and small print dimensions. It suits casual photographers and travelers who want instant color prints without ink cartridges.
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 builds on the Mini 11 with a twist-lens power switch and enhanced close-up mode, delivering easy selfie shooting and reliable automatic exposure. Its drawbacks include a fixed-focus lens, always-on flash that may overexpose bright scenes, and the recurring cost of AA batteries and film. Best suited for beginners and party-goers who want a fun, hassle-free instant camera with extra convenience features.
