I purchased the Fujifilm Instax Mini 99 as a Christmas gift for my wife, and it has been a fantastic purchase. We’ve always loved Fujifilm cameras and have never really had a bad experience with them, and this model is no exception.Build Quality & DesignThe matte black finish gives it a premium feel, and it still has that classic instant camera design that makes film photography so enjoyable. Unlike some of Fujifilm’s other models, which allow digital previews before printing, this one stays true to the old-school instant camera experience, relying on exposure and film alone—which is exactly what makes instant photography so unique and detailed.Ease of Use & FeaturesDespite having modern enhancements, the camera remains very easy to use. It comes with five shooting modes (Normal, Indoor, Sports, Double Exposure, and Bulb), as well as a built-in self-timer and flash control, which adds a lot of creative flexibility. My wife specifically wanted a film-based Instax with more control options, and this model delivers with:Adjustable brightness levels for more exposure control6 color effect settings to enhance different moodsMacro and Landscape modes to capture both close-ups and distant shotsBattery LifeSo far, the battery life has been solid, lasting through multiple film packs without needing frequent recharging. It’s been used practically every day, and we haven’t had any major issues with power.Fun to Use & Value for MoneyThis camera is a blast to use, whether you’re a beginner or a longtime film lover. The double exposure mode alone makes it worth considering, as it allows for more creative shots than standard Instax cameras. My only real complaint is the price—almost $200 is steep—but considering the new features and build quality, it makes sense.Final ThoughtsIf you’re looking for an instant camera that captures the essence of film photography while still offering modern shooting options, this is a perfect choice. Whether you’re new to cameras or a longtime film user, the Instax Mini 99 is an excellent addition to any collection.5 stars—highly recommended!

i love this camera so much! i love how much customization there is for the pictures, and how square and slim the design is compared to some of the other instax mini cameras. i really love having the option to turn the flash off. i like the all black design & i think it would be fun if eventually they came out with other colors, like their pastel cameras but in darker shades. the quality feels very nice, it's lightweight without feeling super cheap. there's so much room for creativity with it!!

This is my first instant camera and it doesn't disappoint. I love all of the features it has though it does have a bit of a learning curve. At about $0.70 per photo it can be a bit pricey at first (you'll end up taking photos that don't turn out well when you start using it due to all of the settings) but it's a great camera in so many ways.

I have researched many instant camera options, including legacy cameras, the SX70, and newer versions. This camera, the Fujifilm Instax Mini 99 Instant Film Camera, provides the best of the other cameras and few of the drawbacks. Of specific note is the ability to adjust exposure, control the flash, multiple exposures, and provide a color splash in the camera. It is a good size, not too big or small. Very pleased thus far with the quality of the images. Highly recommended.
