So first off, I want to say that the white balance on the product photo may be a bit off. The camera is really more of a almost-Barbie fuscia than a grape soda purple, which might be a little awkward if that's not your usual aesthetic. And that's one of the very, very few issues I have with this camera.
I bought this model as a replacement for my lime green Mini 9 that finally bit the dust after years of hard knocks. While I do have the newer Mini 11, I find that the 9 here is still my favorite version. In my experience, the newer ones with auto-exposure tend to make photos too bright - and in low light conditions, they'd rather make a photo blurry than accept a kind of dark photo.
Much like the Instax Mini 7+ you might see at Walmart, the Mini 9 features a ring on the front of the camera that you turn to manually adjust the camera's aperture for the appropriate brightness. There are four settings, with helpful icons to clue you in... though 90% of the time you'll probably only need the first two. The difference between the two models is that with the 7+, you have to guess the right setting, while the Mini-9 has a built in light meter that recommends a setting using red lights on the front ring.
All of the cameras I just mentioned - and really any Instax camera with "mini" in the name - use the same widely-available mini film that you can find at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, etc. The film is a good balance for different lighting conditions, and compared to Polaroid I-type film, it holds up much better in high temperatures. Rarely have I lost a pack of Instax film from forgetting it in a hot car. It's also not bad about going through AA batteries, though you shouldn't use rechargeables. (From what I've heard, rechargeable AA batteries will function, but performance will drop off quickly.)
Lastly, one thing that appears to be unique to the Mini 9 is that there are a number of different colored filters you can buy for it (especially here on Amazon), that aren't compatible with later model Instax. For the Mini 9, Fujifilm bundled the cameras with a snap-on macro filter... and all the other filters, whether they're third-party or Fujifilm, also snap-on. There's some filters with colored gradients, some with that make a colored vignette, et cetra. Newer model cameras don't have this option though, because Fujifilm built in a macro mode where you just pull out the lens a little more.

I am so so glad I finally bought this camera - it’s been on my shopping list for months! The camera itself is sleek, small, and easy to use. It fits comfortably in a small purse, though I am thinking about buying a case for added protection.
Included with the camera is a matching wrist strap, close-up lens attachment (yay, selfies!), and two AA batteries.
PLEASE read the included instructions prior to using. I’ve seen a lot of low ratings due to film issues that seem to be caused by not using the right exposure setting. I also watched a couple YouTube videos before using the camera, just to make sure I did everything properly.
I also bought the value pack of film, since the camera purchase didn’t include any. The film is super easy to load and the print quality is amazing.
The Instax Mini 9 is mostly automatic; it has a light sensor (don’t cover it when taking pictures!) that will tell you which setting to turn the dial to in order to get the best exposure. Do keep in mind that the minimum distance between the camera and the subject is 24 inches. This is where the close-up lens attachment comes in handy, if you’re looking to shoot selfies or close-ups.
Overall, I am very happy with this camera. I think it takes the best photos with natural light or while outdoors, as it will pick up more details in the background. When shooting indoors, it tends to only capture whatever is in the flash radius, no matter the lighting.
This is a great, simple starter Polaroid camera for any of those interested in capturing those “retro” style photos.
