Looking to buy one as a present but not sure which is best. Any recommendations?
Thank you.

The Fujifilm Instax is a great little thing but the pictures are teeny tiny, smaller than a credit card tiny, so it quickly loses it's 'fun', even for the DC.

I think if I replaced ours it'd be with a proper Polaroid camera as the paper isn't much more expensive and the fuller-sized photos seem more practical.

I have the instax and polaroid now make a camera virtually the same.

It's a lot of fun, particularly to watch children work out how to take pictures/use a view finder.

I was at a family celebration last week and handed it over to a couple of teenagers but smaller children have had fun with it.

It was nice to take a pic of a child and then hand it over to the parent.

I have the Instax Mini. I really like it. Took some practice to the setting/lighting right but the pictures are lovely keepsakes.
