Review: Daughter loves it - The instax mini 12 camera in pastel blue is a delightful addition to the world of instant photography. Its charming, compact design and vibrant color immediately catch the eye, making it as much a fashion accessory as it is a functional camera. The pastel blue hue is both trendy and cheerful, perfect for capturing memories in style. One of the standout features of the instax mini 12 is its user-friendly interface. Setting up the camera is a breeze, even for beginners. The straightforward controls ensure that you can start taking photos almost immediately out of the box. The camera's simplicity does not compromise its functionality, making it accessible to photographers of all skill levels. The instax mini 12 excels in producing high-quality instant prints. Each photo boasts vivid colors and sharp details, characteristic of the beloved instax film. The camera’s automatic exposure function is particularly impressive, adjusting the shutter speed and flash to suit the lighting conditions. This results in well-exposed photos whether you’re shooting in bright sunlight or indoors. The built-in flash is effective without being overpowering, ensuring that subjects are well-lit without washing out the photo. One of the features I particularly appreciate is the close-up mode. By simply twisting the lens, you can switch to close-up mode, allowing you to capture detailed shots from as close as 30-50 cm away. This is perfect for portraits or capturing the finer details of your subject. The selfie mirror next to the lens is another thoughtful addition, making it easier to frame self-portraits and group shots accurately. The camera’s instant gratification factor is one of its main appeals. Watching a physical print develop in your hand within seconds of taking a photo never gets old. It’s a joy to share these tangible memories with friends and family, something digital photos can't replicate. The compact size of the prints also makes them ideal for scrapbooking or displaying on a wall or fridge. While the instax mini 12 camera is a fantastic device, it’s worth noting that the cost of film can add up. Each pack of film contains 10 shots, so frequent use may require a steady supply of refills. However, the joy and nostalgia of instant photography often outweigh the cost, making it a worthwhile investment for those who cherish printed memories. In terms of battery life, the instax mini 12 performs admirably. It uses two AA batteries, which are easy to replace and readily available. The battery life is sufficient for several packs of film, ensuring you won’t run out of power during a day of shooting. Overall, the instax mini 12 camera in pastel blue is a delightful, fun, and functional camera that brings the magic of instant photography to life. Its combination of stylish design, ease of use, and high-quality prints make it a must-have for anyone looking to capture and share moments in a uniquely tangible way. Whether you’re an avid photographer or someone looking to add a bit of whimsy to your snapshots, the instax mini 12 is sure to impress. Review: instax mini 12 camera - I’ve been using the Instax Mini 12 in mint green, and it’s a fun little camera to have around. It’s really easy to use — you just turn it on and it’s ready to go, which makes it great for quick snaps with friends or at events. The instant photos come out in credit card size, and while the quality isn’t perfect, it has that classic instant film look that feels quite special. The built-in flash works automatically, so you don’t have to think too much about settings. There’s also a selfie mode with a small mirror, which is handy for close-up shots. Print time is fairly quick, around 5 seconds. It does use film, so running costs can add up, but overall it’s a nice, simple camera for capturing memories in a more physical way. ## Features - Produce instant credit card sized photos - Built-in Automatic flash control for ideal pictures every time with a fast 5 second print speed - Uses all instax mini film, print size 54 (w) x 86 (H), image 46 (w) x 62 (H) mm - Built-in selfie lens and selfie mirror - Pack contains instax mini 12 camera, Hand strap, user manual, AA batteries x 2 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BV38K45H | | Best Sellers Rank | 66 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 1 in Instant Film Cameras | | Box Contents | Camera, handstrap, user manual, AA batteries x 2, (film sold separately) | | Brand | INSTAX | | Brand Name | INSTAX | | Colour | Lilac Purple | | Compatible Camera Film Format Type | Instax Mini | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Continuous Shooting Speed | 0.2 FPS | | Country of Origin | Thailand | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 13,546 Reviews | | Effective Still Resolution | 4 | | Exposure Control | Automatic | | File Format | FILM | | Film Color Type | instax | | Film Format | Instax | | Film format type | Instax | | Has Self-Timer | No | | ISO Range | 100-300 | | Included components | Camera, handstrap, user manual, AA batteries x 2, (film sold separately) | | Item Dimensions | 6.7 x 10.4 x 12.2 centimetres | | Item Weight | 306 Grams | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 6.7 x 10.4 x 12.2 centimetres | | Item weight | 306 Grams | | Light Sensitivity | Light Sensitivity 100-300 | | Manufacturer | instax | | Manufacturer Part Number | 16806133 | | Maximum Shutter Speed | 1/250 Seconds | | Media Type | PhysicalMedia | | Minimum Shutter Speed | 1/250 Seconds | | Model Name | instax mini 12 | | Model Number | 16806133 | | Product Features | Built In Flash, Selfie lens, close up lens | | Screen Size | 107.6 Millimetres | | Shooting Modes | Auto | | Shutter Type | Mechanical | | Special feature | Built In Flash, Selfie lens, close up lens | | Video Capture Resolution | 1280 x 720 | | Viewfinder Type | Optical viewfinder | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** INSTAX - **Compatible devices:** Camera - **Film colour:** instax - **Film format type:** Instax - **Included components:** Camera, handstrap, user manual, AA batteries x 2, (film sold separately) - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 6.7 x 10.4 x 12.2 centimetres - **Item weight:** 306 Grams - **Minimum shutter speed:** 1/250 Seconds - **Model name:** instax mini 12 - **Special feature:** Built In Flash, Selfie lens, close up lens ## Images ![instax mini 12 camera, LILAC PURPLE - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51KGTrh8j8L.jpg) ![instax mini 12 camera, LILAC PURPLE - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51m9iYF5bfL.jpg) ![instax mini 12 camera, LILAC PURPLE - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vQRYKE0jL.jpg) ![instax mini 12 camera, LILAC PURPLE - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RT55Re8WL.jpg) ![instax mini 12 camera, LILAC PURPLE - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71D2VT3gK1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the film finish ?** A: You buy compatible film in packs.

It was so popular and we now love using it in general to capture little candid moments. It's really fun to use and compact to carry around the photos themselves come out with good vibrant colour. The film is fairly expensive, but it is for all Polaroid cameras so you have to make that committment when you buy one. It is easy to use and has a helpful selfie mirror if you want to take one which is accurate. I would recommend this product if you are looking to buy this style of camera. ## Frequently Bought Together - instax mini 12 camera, LILAC PURPLE - INSTAX mini instant film White Border, 20 shot Pack, suitable for all mini cameras and printers - instax Mini 12 Camera case --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/517036408-instax-mini-12-camera-lilac-purple](https://www.desertcart.at/products/517036408-instax-mini-12-camera-lilac-purple) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
