Score: 80/100Rankings

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.

Best suited for beginners and party-goers who want a fun, hassle-free instant camera with extra convenience features.

The Lomo'Instant Wide William Klein Edition offers a large Instax Wide format with a versatile 90 mm lens and multiple creative modes. Its plastic build and limited aperture are trade-offs for the expansive format. Ideal for experimental photographers who want big prints and lens flexibility.
