I live in Surrey BC Canada and want to get my hands on a Fuji Mini Instax!



I was wondering if anyone knew where i can get one (for a good value) as well as the film!
Online or in person purchases are both fine. All listings are appreciated

Also if you own one, reviews would be highly appreciated

I saw that Urban Outfitters used to sell it according to their site but its no longer available
Likewise, gmarket seems to have run out atm ><

Thanks in advance soompiers~

I think you can get it at lomography.com

Im too lazy to check right now, but Ive always seen it there. They also sell film too. So good luck!

ebay.com
OR
Yesasia.com (they only have the chocolate available).

I was just looking at this yesterday, there's quite a few on eBay. (:

[breathless.]

I'd go with Ebay-- there are some offers like the camera + 100 pieces of film for about $150.

I have one! I bought the choco color in Korea. Personally, I love it. You have to get used to the settings though-- it will take some practice and intuition to know when to use which lighting. I still get at least 1 fail picture out of the pack lol

If you don't like the credit card size, there is a fuji that takes wider pictures.

The white and choco colors are more expensive than the white+pink/white+blue.

Any reputable Ebay sellers w/ good deals?
:]

Thanks everyone!

There's a white one for $160ish with 100 films as breathless. mentioned and a pink one with 40 films and a case (and some small things like an album, clothespin-photo holder and markers) for approx $150.

Which one should I get?? o_o;;

[nekonana]

I've always wanted a pink one so I'd go with that even with 40 films. But if you know that you'll take lots of shots in a matter few days/weeks, I'd go with the white + 100 films.

[jenniful92]

i personally want the white one but the pink one comes with a case which im having trouble finding buying separately as well as an album.. but i think the white one's 100films might be worth it oooo the choices

ps. is there a certain period of time the film must be used in?
does it get spoiled at all if left over a long period of time? ><

^ All film should be stored in the fridge and got out a few hours before you need to use it, then put it back in the fridge until you get it processed.

I remember my days of searching for Polaroids and the Fuji came up quite a lot, there's a seller on ebay who sells packaged deals like the camera and a few packs of film, I mean personally it's worth it if you want to take it everywhere but if you're just going to use it like indoors with friends or byself might as well just buy the giant Polaroid camera's haha

you can store the film in a cool area like your fridge (my parents bought me a 2nd hand small refrigerator that fits under my desk and the majority of it is filled with film which is expired but can still be used) haha

sometimes if you buy expired film they might not develop or they will, it's kind of a risk haha

I'm getting one next week (probably, it's from HK) and I know there 4 different exposures ...

For those who already got one and know how to use it ... Which one should I use if I'm outside ?

thx !

[xquisitebabyy_]

Oh I've been eyeing this camera as well! Do you think it's cheapter in Taiwan/Shanghai than buying from ebay? Because I'm heading over there in May.

[NO-1]

There's a lot of talk about the fuji in the polaroid thread. If you wanna head over there...

[fiery4hand]

....theres a polaroid thread xD didnt kno that.... nevermind i posted there a couple days ago =P

[my_ninja_skills_kick_ass]

oooh, instax! I really want one, I'm in HK right now and I remember someone saying that it was kinda cheap around Mongkok, but does anyone know an exact store or something where I could get one for a reasonable price?

[tsukemene123]

I got my Instax camera in Japan for 6000 Y at Loft.

Extremely cheap compared to what they're selling it for in America...

Bought two--the one pictured and a smaller one.
I got a cute holder for it, too.

For eBay buyers:

http://stores.ebay.com/japanstop, http://myworld.ebay.com/ogt-clan/, OR http://stores.ebay.com/UniqJapan

ALL top rated sellers and so far as I know, they sell the original Japanese instax.
