Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Instant Camera – Design & Build Quality

You can get Instax Mini 9 camera, a set of batteries, a matching strap and close-up lens attachment at Rs. 5,999 only. But you have to buy the instant film separately. Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Instant Camera is entirely made of plastic and the finish is good without any crude edges and misaligned joints. At back, it has little space for the film cartridge and a counter to notify you the number of unused film sheets remaining in the camera. There is a loop for the wrist strap on either side of the camera. The slop for the ejection processed film is placed on the top and you will have flash and light metering sensors at the front. The power button is placed beside the lens and the ring around the lens can be used to switch between the exposure modes.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Instant Camera – Performace & Battery Life

In the Instax Mini 9 Camera, there are no files to display for quality. The credit-sized photograph will let you save your favourite memories, but you can’t predict the output. The camera is comfortable to hold and use. As the viewfinder is placed on the left side of the camera, the position of the subject or object will be offset a little. So it is better to leave some space around your object in order to avoid cutting them off. It’s also important to note that the Instax Mini 9 works best for close-ups and doesn’t fare too well with subjects at a distance. The company says that each set of two AA batteries should last up to 100 shots, but it will vary according to the exposure modes you end up using more often.
