There have been some great Instax Mini deals recently, but this is the best one I've seen by far: an Instax Mini 7+ with film for just $49 at Walmart! We first saw it over Black Friday weekend - but this amazing offer, which feels made for gifting, is still available, and in the full choice of colors.
Sure it's not the latest model (though you can pick up the Instax Mini 12 for $79, with no film), but take it from someone who collects and loves using Instax cameras: it doesn't matter! The analog technology inside the cameras hasn't changed in years, so the Mini 7+ still produces results that are on par with the newest version… just a lot cheaper!
The Instax Mini 7+ may not be the latest model, but take shots side-by-side with the brand new Mini 12 and you almost certainly won't tell the difference. The only difference here is the slightly different body shape and the fact that it requires four AA batteries instead of two.
In the last few weeks I've been shooting on the very first Instax Mini from 1998(!) and still getting great results – so you've no need to worry about the quality of the Mini 7+, as it only came out in 2021!
Take a look at the best instant cameras, along with the best digital instant cameras, and see the differences in Instax vs Polaroid – and don't forget to check what type of instant film do you need!
