Product Description

Fujifilm's Instax Mini 50S Instant Print Camera (Piano Black) brings a party along with it--the Mini 50S takes a picture and gives you a 2.4 x 1.8" (62 x 46mm) color print right away, using Fujifilm Instax Mini instant film. This sleek piano-black camera adjusts the shutter speed automatically between 1/3 and 1/400 second to give you great results, even in low light. The built-in flash balances automatically with the background light for pleasing photos, and the self-timer lets you take two shots with a single touch of the shutter button. A close-up function focuses to as close as 11.8" (30 cm) from the lens, for 2:1 magnification ratio. Three shooting modes (Auto, Fill-in Flash, and Landscape) are available. A Light/Dark function gives you +/- 2/3 f-stop compensation. Power is provided by two CR2 batteries.

super fast shipping and great camera!

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2011

Verified Purchase

First of all,
I was really amazed how fast it shipped. I ordered this camera and shipped and came within two days and it was free shipping.
I was very satisfied with that.

As of this camera, the picture came out really clear and specific. The flash was amazing.
I was debating whether I should get this mini 50s or mini 25 white one then I compared the size between these two. Mini 50s was little bit smaller than mini 25.
I bought mini 25 for my friend's bday gift and I thought that was very small and compatible instant camera but this mini 50s was smaller than mini 25.
And the color of the photo was just amazing.

Like everybody know, the price of the film is expensive but IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH OF HAVING.
Each picture you take will be the only one that will have for the rest of your life. This isn't like digital camera so once you press the button and take the picture, you can't delete that, and I think that's the most memorable moment.
My friend who has mini 25 told me that after you take these pictures it's more fun to look at the films one by one and never get tired of looking at them.

The timer to take double pictures is really great because you can take two same pictures and give it to someone you love.
I hesitated a lot whether I should purchase mini 25 or mini 50s.
Then I thought, by spending little bit more than the price of mini 25, you can get newer version of instax camera.
I agree that mini 25 is a great camera also, but mini 50s is newer and smaller.
So now I'm really really glad that I made a right choice for myself and got this mini 50s because it's obviously newer than mini 25 and is smaller than mini 25.

I personally like small sizes so that I can bring around everywhere and can put in my purse.
The picture of camera on amazon came out big but I was really surprised how small it was when it shipped.

If anyone purchase this or thinking of buying instax camera from fujifilm, I think this camera is definitely a great choice for you or for somebody else.

Instax cameras are simply fun. Any time you have one out when people are around you're going to get questions and comments, making them great for social events. This was my first Instax camera, chosen because I wanted something a little better than the Mini 8. I've been very happy with this purchase, It's a nice compact size, easy to use, looks good and the picture quality has been fine. My only gripe is the viewfinder is quite small and can sometimes take a moment for me to get my eye in the right spot.

I've had this camera for years and although the film is a bit expensive (I tend to buy it from Ebay) the photos it takes are great once you get the lighting down and everyone loves having the immediate copies of photographs. It also has the ability to make two copies of the same photo. There are newer versions of this camera but this one works JUST AS WELL! I've brought it to the beach; it's been exposed to pretty extreme heat and cold temperatures. You just need to make sure you take care of whatever film you purchase.

Soft, out of focus, and underdeveloped photos

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2015

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I loved the idea of this camera, smallish (actually it really isn't that small at all, its huge) and provides instant gratification by giving you your printed photo in less than 5 minutes. Since photography is my hobby I immediately went outside on a nice day and started taking some photos. I noticed the pictures, even when they were clear were so soft in focus that it was difficult to make out anything, it just looked blurry. Out of 10 photos, I had 1 worth saving. The rest either developed too dark, out of focus, a couple of them only half way developed, or they were completely washed out. For $14 a pop for only 10 photos, this isn't something I want to continue to test out if its going to force me to purchase 3 packs just to get a couple of decent photos.

It is really difficult to see through the viewfinder, my eyelashes kept getting in the way. It isn't easy to hold the camera if you've got small hands, nor is it convenient to lug around because its not that compact. I decided instead of this, to get the instax smartphone printer so I can use my camera phone and print my photos that way. It cost a bit more money but my photos come out much more clear and I have the ability to do a little editing before I print the photo out.

Brings back memories of childhood.

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2014

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I bought this because I love photography and I was nostalgic for the days when photos were tangible. Sure, you can print out your digital photos, but it takes time and money, and the results often aren't anything to write home about. My dad and grandfather both had Polaroid cameras when I was growing up, so when I saw this, I was happy.

The colors of these little photos are rich. The pictures are sharp. You do need to figure out the optimal distance and lighting but that's part of photography. This camera makes you think of the photo you are taking. I get happy like a little kid when the picture is coming out of the camera,lol.

Magnifique appareil photo de très bonne qualité, les photos de petit format sont superbes, les couleurs sont parfaites et je ne suis pas un pro. L' appareil a un design vintage que j'adore. Bref joli appareil simple d'utilisation et vraiment classe. Je suis super content et je vous le conseille grandement.

Chechando diferentes reseñas en línea, esta es la mejor cámara que puedas comprar por el preciosa, imprime excelentes fotografías y sobre todo el hecho de que el paquete de 10 fotos los venden en cualquier Liverpool. Incluye un zoom.
Puedo inscribir esta reseña ya que mi novia a quien se la regale es diseñadora gráfica y es muy perfeccionista en cuanto a todo el tema de fotografía.

Funziona piuttosto bene, ed è piuttosto comoda. L'unico svantaggio è che al buio non funziona bene il flash. Complessivamente comunque sono soddisfatto del mio acquisto.

Cámara para momentos especiales

Reviewed in Spain on February 3, 2014

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

Una gran cámara para momentos especiales. Las fotos tienen una relativa buena calidad, nunca comparables a las digitales actuales, pero con mucho más encanto. Muy fácil de usar y lo suficientemente compacta como para poder transportarla en viajes. La única pega es que las fotos son realmente pequeñas. Sería de agradecer una opción similar con la misma calidad que ésta pero con un mayor tamaño de impresión.

Por lo demás, una gran compra. No va a ser tu cámara principal pero sí la más agradecida.
