Fujifilm continues to expand its line of instant cameras with the Instax Mini 40. It takes over from theInstax Mini 11 and differs from the latter by its look vintage.
The Instax Mini 40 offers us a more than successful new design. Combined with the strengths of Fujifilm’s series of instant cameras, it is an excellent candidate for who wants to equip themselves with an instant camera, but avoiding the rounded lines of a Instax Mini 11. If you are indifferent to the look of the device, however, it offers better value for money. On the other hand, the Instax Mini 40 goes to the essentials for the most accessible use possible. To be carried everywhere, it is therefore an excellent companion for easily immortalizing a special moment and printing a memory with pleasure.

An alternative
The Fujifilm instax mini 11 is a basic, but playful little camera. He easily copes with the work that is asked of him and for which he is made. If the selfie mode can be practical, especially for successful portraits, we still regret the total absence of settings to modify the exposure, the charm of overexposed photos having its limits. Nevertheless, even if the device fulfills its role perfectly, one cannot help thinking that investing in a instax mini 9 is equally relevant.
