Fujifilm Instax Mini 7s

Recently I bought a new toy (love gadgets I tell you...). I've been wanting to get one for a long time but never got around to doing it. I kept thinking that it costs a bomb and I'm not exactly rich. Rich in my mind, poor in my pocket.

So on one particular public holiday (FT Day) while Mr Hubs was at work and I was killing time at home. I started surfing the net for more info on instant camera. I did not know that Fujifilm produced a few instant camera model already for the past few years. The price is very reasonable and to me the entry level model Instax Mini 7s is good enough.

Off I went to Mid Valley (never been more determine in my life) and started shopping for the best price. I bought mine at Fotokem at RM228. Films are not included.




Pouch is not inclusive as well. I got mine at RM35 from Digicolor, Mutiara Kompleks Jalan Ipoh, KL. Online blogs and forums are selling it at RM85. (same shit..) I got my films at RM22 per pack the same place. Commercial shops are selling the films at RM28-29.80. One camera shop in Pavilion is selling the same film for RM38. They can go eat shit I tell you. Daylight robbery!

So far, I am happy with my new toy. Simply love it.

When I first showed it to my dad, he thought that it's for snapping photos under water. I don't blame him coz it looks like one, look like a toy and plastic-ky.

Do not expect too much if you're using this camera as it is below RM250. It's a fun camera to play with. If you're a photo quality snob then it's best to opt for other models from Fujifilm. Or check out Polaroid's Pogo.
