Hi

Looking for a big ticket item for 8yo dd. Are these good? Are some better than others and are there deals to be had?

We got ours on ASOS when they had a 25% off everything code. Nearer Christmas there’s pretty much always a discount code.
It’s the film that’s the killer!

My DD didn’t really use hers after the initial excitement. But Skinnydip also sell film - look out for a 20% discount code.

They currently have an offer on now if you download the app.

Both my DDs have an Instax camera, a blue & a pink, I would recommend getting a case for the camera too, you dont have to take the camera out the case as the lens cover just pulls off/out while still attached to the case.
I got one from Argos & the other from Amazon, not at the same time though, my elder DD decided she wanted one after seeing her sister`s camera.
As pp have said, in the beginning the photo paper does cost you a fortune but the novelty does wear off so brings the cost down to a more reasonable cost.

Ours was a one hit wonder.

My recommendation is buy secondhand.

I highly recommend kidizoom print cam instead. It laser prints in black and white onto a little tear off paper reel, there are loads of extra filters, frames and effects and they can colour in the pictures. If you want proper photo prints you can do them in a shop as normal. My 8 year old loves hers - prints out all kinds of nonsense and the paper is really cheap so they can just go for it.

I got my DD the instax with the screen so she could see the image before she printed it. It costs a bit more but was worth it as the film is very expensive.

@Littleredbrickmammy which one is that- can you link? Thanks...

Here’s a link eshop.fujifilm-x.com/uk/instax-mini-liplay.html

If the link doesn’t work it’s called the Instax mini LiPlay. There is a newer version of this model due out around now. It has filters and records sound. You have to get a memory card with it.
