Fujifilm Mini 7S Instant Photo Camera

I totally fell in love with this item the moment I set my eyes on it online! I got it as a birthday present for my husband, and not only did HE love it, everyone who has ever seen it since has always exclaimed what a wonderful novelty item it is! It is compact and easy to use, and watching the photo develop in front of your eyes in a matter of minutes is almost magical! The camera comes with a pack of 5 cardboard envelopes where you can write a little note and tuck the tiny photo into the sleeve in order to gift the photo to someone. The photos are small in size, but nice and glossy, and since it is a film camera, the photos don't fade with time, unlike their polaroid predecessor. The camera comes with a little carry bag which does not entirely cover the camera since it has no cover flap. You also get a complimentary film pack of 10 shots with the camera. Please check the expiry date of the film before you use it!nnThe cons of this otherwise fabulous camera is that sometimes the photos come out a little dark, especially if there is insufficient lighting or if someone accidentally places their finger over the flash while taking a picture. That only happens rarely though, and it is important to instruct anyone who is unfamiliar with the camera about how best to use it to avoid such problems. The other downside is the cost and availability of the film. There is only one seller I have found so far on the internet who sells the film for this camera in India, and the film itself is very costly: a 10 shot pack costs around 550 rupees while a 20 shot pack costs around 990 rupees. The pictures from this camera are best taken during daylight or in well-lit locations. One more important con is that you can't take it with you during plane journeys since you cannot put this camera through an x-ray since it will expose the film. Please note that you will only be able to take 10 photos per film, and the first "picture" that comes out of the camera is not a photo (this does not deduct from the 10 photos), it is the cover of the film, so it will be blank.nnAll in all, it is a great looking, easy to use camera which is good value for money and is definitely an eye-catcher and is bound to be a favourite at every party! As much as I would LOVE to give it a 5 out of 5, it has some significant cons that prevent it from being a practical, everyday use camera.

I bought it some time back and am regretting the decision every day since, it is just sitting like a paperweight on my table. It is a good product but the films are not available, Don't buy it!!!!
