I bought this camera on a whim. My girlfriend and I were headed to Iceland, and I was planning to propose. I wanted to capture all the little moments of our trip and make an album. This thing is an absolute blast. For those of you who remember polaroids, you'll fall in love all over again with the Instax. I opted for the mini 90 over the mini 9 primarily for style. The brown vinyl is perfectly vintage. I also found out later that this camera had more features (Although I rarely use the different modes). This camera is not designed to take crisp, brilliant pictures. Instead, it looks like it's been put through a vintage Instagram filter. There are so many things you can do with the pictures. I made an Engagement album, sent one as a post card, framed a few. If you search Etsy for instax albums and frames you will be pleasantly surprised at the versatility of these photos.

As for the modes, the instructions do included do not provide the best info. There is party mode (man and woman icon) which brightens up indoor photos, Landscape mode (Mountain icon) which enhances distant photos, D&L (Dark and light) which adjust brightness, macro mode for close shots, and a few others. But really, just grab the camera and get to shooting! It'll turn out just fine.

The camera was amazing... while it lasted. I purchased this as a birthday gift for my girlfriend and we were able to take 11 photos before we couldn't use the camera anymore. The camera wouldn't turn on and displayed a flashing "E" constantly. After some research, this is a known error with the camera. I tried multiple trouble shooting steps, but nothing worked. Luckily, I was still able to return it and the film (+the film that was wasted in trouble shooting) for a full refund. We're looking for a different polaroid camera that is a little more reliable instead of a guessing game.

Really enjoy using this camera. I've had this camera for 4 months now but didn't use it much during the winter (because of the film's temperature range - winter too cold!). I recently went on a trip to Seattle and tested out the various modes. The colors come out pretty great and there's wonderful clarity on landscape mode. I love the somewhat grungy/vintage look that prints without using any of the modes as well. Super fun and great camera!

P.S. When they say don't point the camera at the sun, really don't. I caught the sun in one of my photos and it was a beautiful black circle in the sky. Haha.

I love this camera! It's perfect for capturing the moment instantly and having something in your hand. I'm old school and have developed 20% of my digital. This is automatically preserved. The settings are great! Just make sure when you take photos of people, you take it really close. The film is small but when you get people tight in the screen it's really awesome. I got the Faux leather. And the leather case which I love also. I get great compliments all the time and have had it only two weeks. 2 people have shown me that they ordered one or have one now. Double exposure is fun. Action shooting works great. I wish all these options were on the 300... only cuz I like the film size. But I love these too!!! I am 44 yrs old peeps.

I ordered this as an upgrade. I already have the mini 26 and though I liked it, I wanted more control. I have to say the 90 gives a good amount of control to the user with all of its modes and settings. I Do wish you could use landscape mode with Double exposure, but all of the modes seem to work well. The self timer is a nice addition and so is bulb mode. I do wish it had a remote shutter for bulb mode, though. I haven't tried to keep it still on a tripod yet and light paint but I plan to.
I have played with it well and it does better indoors than my 26 did without me doing anything additional to the settings... its macro lens is also nicer than my close up lens attachment was. Overall I'm quite happy.
Mine did, however, come with the EU adapter for the charger and not the American, I spoke to amazon and to Fujifilm and you can get the correct plug from fujifilm directly so if anyone needs it, contact them! They will help you.

That's my only reason for four stars, was that I had to chase down the right adapter, but other than that I'm quite happy and have gotten some artistic shots. I have one Double exposure that makes my son look like a ghost and that wasn't my attempt. May have taken the pics backwards.. I got a good one of my dog though, too, while just playing around. This will do great on trips!

I like putting all of them into an album and I do look through it quite a lot. It takes more thought to get the shot exactly right than on a cell phone or a digital camera, and I'm enjoying that.
