Instax Mini 25 ♥小白♥

FINALLY my 小白 is here \(≧▽≦)/

Actually I did quite a lot of research before really ordered it. Initially was keep thinking buying an instant camera and saw one Instax Mini 7S in Gmarket comes with a Mickey mouse face on the camera. I was then fall in love with the mickey mouse close up lens ~.~

After decided on the model, I started reading reviews on mini7/7s, 25,50s,55i and 210.

Instax 210 is definitely out from my list as it’s too big for me !

Instax mini 50s and 55i is more expensive than mini 25 and the only different is that mini 25 does not have a self timer function =.= which I think I don’t really need it frequently. So out from my list also!

Left Mini7 series and Mini25 ;)

Mini7 series is more towards manual mode because you will need to choose the exposure before taking photos i.e.four exposure settings (indoor, cloudy, sunny, and very sunny).

As for mini25, it can be auto/manual ;) mini25 is also a newer version than mini7/7s.

Finally decided to buy Instax Mini25 (or Cheki 25 in Japanese), the MAIN reason is that: it comes with a self shot mirror ;) Good for me to take self portrait with dear…haha ! There is a limited edition Hello Kitty version but don’t think suit me..~.~

Instax Mini 25 Features:

- Has self-shoot mirror.

- Auto flash in low light.

- Small, compact and easy to use.

- Close-up lens for focusing from 35cm.

- Uses Instax Mini film – creditcard size

- Instant camera = instant pictures (like polaroid)

- 2 shutter designs for landscape & portrait pics

- light/dark exposure settings, and a landscape mode for distance shooting.

1st thing came out from my 小白's mouth ~.~

Is a black cover that protects the films...

This is not a film ! So don't be surprised if you happen to see this black "photo" ;)

My 1st instant photo :)

Put it in a mini album ~.~

I personally think that if you LOVE taking photos, you may consider having an instant camera! It gives you a different feeling and fun photographing experience as compared to digital camera. With the instant camera, it's instant - you snap, and you get your photo right away out from the camera~ .~

You may start with a Mini7/7s if you like manual adjustment. Otherwise, the instax mini 25 is definitely the way to go coz it’s easy to use! Films can be expensive, so do some research to get reasonably priced films before buying. I think normally buying films online will be cheaper. Reviews are the most helpful thing. Therefore I'd recommend reading reviews from different sources before buying an instant camera/films !Choose an instant camera that suits you the best!

Then Happy snapping ;)
