This is a great camera for any photography lover or anyone who loves vintage film with a modern twist. Today was the first time I was able to try it out and it works perfectly and you can't tell it was refurbished. I would say this camera is a good investment.

I bought this used, so I'm not sure if the quality of the picture is because that's how it's supposed to be, or it was damaged some way by the previous owner. The sides of all my pictures came out blurry (and I didn't shake them like a polaroid picture; you're not supposed to).

Look, they didn't make fixed-focus instant point-and-shoot cameras about features. It doesn't NEED them. This is the most fun little snapshot camera I have ever had. I have had many cameras--from my first Polaroid 600 to Brownies, Canons (Film and Digital), Minoltas, Mamiyas, and they've got their uses. However, for just capturing the moment at a party or with friends, you cannot beat the Instax Mini 7s. The film/print format is an oddball--2.5 x 3.25 or roughly credit card size. The lens is a bit wide, so get close! The viewfinder very accurately depicts composition--only slightly noticeable parallax shift. Forget about the Hello Kitty looking chassis--you can get one in black if that suits you better. Go ahead and invest in a photo album, because you will be snapping these little gems a lot. Get one. Have fun!Read full review
my mother bought me this camera for a birthday gift, it was something i have been wanting for a couple of birthdays but this year we were actually able to track out down. i want this camera specifically because i love instant photography and this seemed like a good alternative to the standard and not discontinued Polaroid cameras and film. i have had a couple different Fujifilm cameras in the passed and i have been happy with them so i trusted this brand and thought it would be a better choice than the Polaroid brand clone that came out a couple years ago. so far i have used my camera in many different environments and in drastically varying light levels and it has preformed either as well as expected or better in all situations other than one that was clearly operator error. this error being that i had the camera on the wrong setting so the pictures ended up looking very washed out. i even used it outside at night once and the pictures ended up looking fine because of the flash. they were clear, it is easy to tell what you are looking at and i was very impressed. overall the image quality is better than i expected, for photos that are so small it is important that they end up reasonably crisp and clear and instant film has a reputation of not always being as clear at other photography types but this has not been a problem with this camera. the only thing that i have been slightly annoyed with is the fact that i have one backpack that is my favorite and my camera is a little too thick to fit in the kind of flat backpack. if my backpack was not an odd shape this would not be a problem but i have decided to leave my camera home on a few occasions just because it is kind of big to hold all night and i know it will not fit in my backpack. it is not massive or terribly heavy but it is not the tiny digital camera we are all so used to at this point, it is a bit larger. other than a little added size this camera is user friendly and film is not too unreasonably priced. it is comparable to the old Polaroid film but it comes in cute styles and colors with cute character designs as well as pain white borers, this is something i think the Polaroid company would have benefited form trying.Read full review
Very easy to use and super cute! The pictures come out real nice too pretty clear just make sure you have the right setting on. The 1 bad thing I found with this camera is it is very hard to take a pic in frame, when looking through the eye piece it "looks" like you have everything in frame but when the actual pic pops out your missing half of what you though. Other than that I love this camera! I need some more practicing to avoid that. Another thing, buy your film on ebay! Not stupid Urban Outfitters! They rip you off! I would recommend buying this camera ;)
