Just an FYI for everyone looking to get into this, if it's available, try to buy your film packs at Michaels craft stores. They're a bit more expensive (24.99 for a 20 pack) BUT that store offers coupons regularly and that's the best deal I've found. 50% off or the rare 60% off one item coupon DOES work for purchasing this film (you can only buy one at time with the coupon). The coupon is available on their website, just show it to them from your cell phone. I end up getting a 20 pack for $11! Best deal around.
Thanks for heads up! Good to know
You can get a pack of 20 (twin film) for around $11 on Amazon as well!!:) and you can purchase more than one one at a time!!
love the cat pillow in the back..i need one
xraychick Haha You should definitely get one
Thank you very much for the super detailed review. I'm pretty sure I gonna buy one.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching. Have fun with your new Mini 90! (should you get one)
Thanks! Very helpful, I've just got this camera as a birthday present so this has given me plenty of ideas!
I just got one, it's a little bit scary to take shots since I'm still learning and the films are not that cheap...
Great instax tho!
nice review!
That's awesome. It's a very fun camera. I had to start being very selective in what to shoot because I was burning through film too quickly. It helped force me to choose better shots though. Thanks btw
Some very impressive photos you've taken. I've just ordered this camera off Amazon. I had one a couple of years ago but sold it as I needed some cash at the time. Looking forward to taking it on country walks with me 👌
Great photos you made!
Rad video Bryan!!! Looking forward to the next one!!!
planning to get one recently and your vid definitely gives me a great instruction about the camera. Thx a lot!
刘威 Thanks a lot. Glad u liked it :)

Those beach shots were pretty neat.

Thanks a lot!
awesome! my instax 50s just died and I was thinking about a new one, I actually love this.
Yeah, it's a great camera for sure. Sounds like its time for an upgrade!
I love your cat pillow in the background! :D
and thank u so much for this video.
also, the self timer mode- if clicked twice takes two photos at a time. :)
Awesome! Thanks for the info :-)
Nice video, nice cat and great photos you made! ((: Thanks for showing them!
I'm considering getting this camera because I love shooting film but impossible film gets expensive. I've found packs of 50 of the instax for the price of 1 of impossibles. I just wish they made a classic looking version for the wider version. That would be ideal for me.
Damn, that sounds like a good deal on the film! From what I read, the new wide 300 Instax camera isn't that much better than the old, cheezy, 80's looking, Wide 210 camera. If you can get over the looks of the 210 camera, you could pick one up for about $50 on Ebay. Not a bad deal!
Those pictures with the black sun is pure art. You said "unusable"? No, its an extra feature.
Do you think photos end up better if you use flash at night or no flash during the day?
thanks for the review! well done. made me buy the camera! question, where did you get your neck strap for it?
Hey Dirt God, sick music video. As for the camera strap, I think it came with the camera. You might be able to find one on Amazon or Ebay though.
Thank you for the review and for showing and talking about the pictures too! Got mine yesterday now lets go ;) have a nice day
hi. i know it's a bit too late but i just found your video. what settings did you use for the sunset photo at 10:40? i got the mini 9 as a freebie from a mirrorless camera purchase but just ordered a mini 90 because i wanted to have some control over the settings and get to decide whether i want flash or not. the photos on the mini 9 are always a bit, if not totally overexposed as there's no way to adjust or turn the flash off. i found that instant film is a totally different experience and fell in love with it right away even if i just have the most basic model. i've already used up all the free film i got with the instax mini 9 (mostly on bad shots!)
great review, your pictures came out so pretty! What mode do you usually use (like for the beach photos)?
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it. It's been a while since I took those photos, but I think I used the normal brightness mode and the focus setting was on the Mountain icon. Occasionally I would use the "L" (light) brightness setting. Hope that helps.
The double exposure of your wife and the tree was stunning
nice and down to earth dude! :D
I have a question, while we'll click a photo with this camera, can we cancel and click another one or automatically it'll give the printout????🤔
très intéressant, je vais en acheter un
Je vous remercie! C'est super
Groupon packs are the cheapest for film💕
I really want to buy this but people have been talking about the "E" error message
Is this something to worry about?
Great review! It is interesting to note the aspect ratio of the film is close to the Golden Ratio Proportion. In fact, it looks like the size of a credit card? My credit card is 54mm by 86mm, so, 54/86=0.628 which is very close to the golden section of 0.618 - it is pleasing to the eye, IMHO. The original Polaroid aspect ratio was 4:3 (box like/squarish) I think. I like the new aspect ratio though for the retro-look . Cheers, GFP PS It would be nice if they perfect the picture quality to high definition type prints - perhaps the sun issue spots will be corrected, too, in the near future. :)
Gia Film Productions That's an interesting observation about the golden ratio. That never occurred to me. Good points. Thanks for watching!
Nice review. The black sun spots are not necessarily undesirable, though. Some photographers shoot photos that way intentionally.
Thanks Chris. Interesting, I guess I didn't consider that. Thanks for watching.
Comparing it with the mini 9, since it also has a light meter?? Does this one also automatically senses what mode to use?
Did you use flash on 15:15-15:23?
Excellent review and nice results! what were the settings for your beach shots? Automatic and darken? or no flash? Also for the sunset/sunrise.
Thanks a lot! I think I was mainly using the landscape setting (the little mountain icon) and normal exposure. No flash on those photos though.
Hi, i would like to know what are the 3 black buttons at the back for?
Hi! I find your video really helpful. I also like how you presented it. May I know what camera are you using in filming this? Thanks.
Anonymous Thanks, I appreciate it. I shot this video on the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera.
Great video, also your cat is beautiful
Thanks man. He's beautiful, but he can be major ass sometimes, correction, most of the time.
Curious but would putting a lens filter in front affect the outcome of the photo (e.g polarizers, ND, warming/cooling)
megz Del Rosario good question. I would imagine that a polarizer or a cool / warm filter would definitely have an effect on the film. That would be fun to experiment with.
Cet appareil est génial ! Position macro, activation ou non du flash, retardateur.. Il rend des photos éminemment originales par leur caractère nostalgique.. Il a une bonne prise en main.
Cool
Literally just bought this for 10 dlls. THAT EXACT SAME CAMERA, FOR 10 DLLS. Best. Deal. Ever.
Hi guys, I just wanna play around with point and shoot camera and would like to know if I better off buying this instax 90 or Polaroid snap touch?? Appreciated!!
Man I'm about to meet someone and buy one for 30$ I'm excited 😊 I do photography and I want to just hand these to people as an unexpected tiny gift I just wish the pics were bigger
Hello guys . I hope someone here could answer me . I got this camera and i havent used it for a month or so . Then when i tried to charge my battery my charger wont turn on its light and i noticed my battery got bloated. I dont know whats the problem. The battery , charger or camera?
I have a problem with the view finder. Is it always not complimentary with what's going to capture with the lens?
I have that problem too. It's just something to get accustom to with this camera. The view finder is not inline with what the lens is seeing so there is going to be some difference between what you're seeing and what the lens is seeing. This issue is magnified and more noticeable when the subject of your photo is closer to the camera due to parallax. You'll not notice this problem as much if you photograph things very far away. Also, the coverage of the viewfinder probably isn't completely accurate. There might be about 5% more of the scene in the photo on every side of the frame than what you see when looking through the view finder. Knowing this, you can frame your scene appropriately, accounting for the difference and hope for the best. You'll get use to it after a while. Even some very expensive cameras don't have completely accurate viewfinders. Hope that helped answer your question. Nice guitar playing too! Well done.
Just subscribe to you thanks for the review i was going to get the instax mini 9..I'm going to go with this one instead
Hey You!
Hopefully you‘ll see my comment. I got the camera as a birthday present. I tried a photo when the sun was brightly shining but the photo turned out very dark (i didn’t shoot towards the sun, it was just bright enough for the normal mode in my opinion?) On another day I took a picture of my friends when it was very cloudy outside & the photo turned out very bright. For both of the photos I used the normal mode. What went wrong? Do i have to set up the brightness just like it is outside ?
You should have used the Light and Dark settings. The camera overcompensated, thinking that there was a lot of light and lowered the exposure by a lot, and that's why your picture turned out dark. You should have turned on the L or the L+ setting on the camera (depending on which worked for your picture). The opposite is true for the second picture. Cloudy days are always going to need a lower exposure (because the camera will try to compensate with a higher exposure to brighten the picture) with these cameras that don't have a good light sensor. In that case, using the D setting would have worked. You just have to learn the camera. There are a lot of in and outs to the camera. I actually just got mine today, but I do photography (not professionally) with my phone, so I've learned a little about tweaking settings.
Hope this helps! I know it was 4 months ago, haha.
I wanted to ask, what mode should i used if i wanted to take a group photo with timer? The landscape mode or just go without any mode?
Shining shining just like DO’s forehead Great question. If your group is about 3 meters (10 feet) away, then use the landscape mode. If they’re closer, you might just use normal mode, or no mode. You can also try portrait mode, but I don’t know if the flash will reach the group. Hope that helps.
Thank you so much, it really help me :)
Hi +Film Photography Club, what setting do you use to take pictures of fireworks during the night??
Sup, You should probably use the B mode. B stands for Bulb. Press the "Mode" button on the back of the camera until the "B" is displayed. Then press and hold the shutter button for a few seconds to take a long exposure photo. The limit is 10 seconds. Good luck!
Thank you for this review! Your cat is so cute! Do you use the flashlight all the time? I have the same camera and sometimes the flashlight spoils the picture. But I have no idea how to find out whether I need it or not.
Haha, thanks. I use the flash a lot but not all the time. There aren't any specific rules when to use flash or not but here are some tips:
Use flash if:
1. It's too dark to get a proper exposure without flash.
2. You want to add "fill" light to your subject. This applies in daylight as well as lowlight situations.
3. In daylight, you want the background to be darker than your subject. (set camera to dark or regular exposure mode and turn flash on.)
4. You want to freeze motion. e.g. a running child or bicyclist riding past you
5. You want to blind your friend
Don't use flash if:
1. You want a natural light feel to your image.
2. It's so bright outside the flash won't make a difference.
3. The subject is too far away the flash won't reach. e.g. a landscape photo.
4. You want to reduce glare/reflections, from a glass window or door or from someone's glasses.
5. You want to save battery life.
I'm sure there are more reasons than what I listed above, but hopefully those help get you started with flash. Let me know how it goes.
Film Photography Club thank you for helping! It's more clear to me now
I'm still confused on when should I use the flash or not using it. Do I need to keep the flash on in outdoor or disable it instead? Thanks:)
aurencia kuntjoro aurencia kuntjoro The only time you should definitely use the flash is if it's absolutely necessary due to lack of light. All of the other times when lack of ambient light isn't a problem, using the flash is more of an aesthetic choice. You might not need to use the flash outdoors in the daytime, but if you do use the flash, your photos will have a much a different look. Also, the flash can help freeze motion. If you have a fast moving subject, the flash can help prevent motion blur in the photo. Practically speaking, not using the flag will save battery life, so that might be important to you too. Basically, there are no rules. Experiment and find what suits you best. Hope that helped.
thank you for this great video!!! is your kitty a russian blue? he looks like my cat. :) i also love your white cat flipping the bird, that's my phone case right now, lol
You're welcome! Glad you liked it :-) I'm not sure if Ozzy is a Russian blue or not, he certainly looks a lot like one though. He's adopted off the street, so I don't have any info on him. Good call on the phone case, Rip N Dip is awesome. I definitely need more Rip N Dip in my life.
Pleeeease, would be great if you compared this mini 90 to the new mini 11! ☺️✨
I have done some research through this, mini 11 didnt have self timer while this has. self timer can be useful when travelling alone or with partner. also, mini 11 didnt have different choice mode except selfie mode. mini 11 also cant be turn flash off. so these are basically the differences , u can choose which one suit you better
@@theqwerxx2342 thanks for the tips! I bought the mini 90 and I'm loving it!!! 💗
@@BiaSSouza really? im going to buy this too.. ☺️
@@theqwerxx2342 I bet you will love it too! 😊✨
Hi!
I have a question: If I have two types of film: the original one which has colors, and the
monochrome version which is black and white, can I swap films between
shots? I mean if I take a picture with the regular colour film and I want the
same picture with the monochrome film, can I change film at that given
moment?
Fazakas Bence Good question. Unfortunately, you can't swap out film cartridges mid pack. Each film cartridge has a dark slide on top that prevents the film inside from being exposed to light. Once you put the film cartridge in the camera, the dark slide gets ejected and the only way to remove the film pack without ruining the remaining film inside, would be to do it in a completely dark environment. That's probably not practical.
Iam a little confused between the wide 300 and the mini 90 neo. Only bcz of the film size. Worried if the mini will be too small. Can you suggest between the two. I'd prefer quality over the size. Is the film size too small in mini 90?
Hey, sorry I didn't respond sooner, just saw this. Anyways, I prefer the wide film for landscape type shots and the mini size film for close up shots or portraits. If you're worried about the film being too small, you might want to just get the wide camera because the mini film is pretty tiny. Good luck!
do you have a tip on how to avoid blurry photo? (due to non-flash)
I suppose you can try keeping the exposure setting on regular instead of "Light" or "Light +." I think the camera's shutter stays open longer on the light and light + setting to create a brighter image, thus allowing the possibility for motion blur. A faster shutter speed will reduce the chance for motion blur. I suppose you can also try the "Kid" setting too. It's supposed to be able to capture quick moving kids... basically a fast shutter speed I'm assuming. Other than that, just try to keep the camera very still when taking a photo, maybe even use a tripod if necessary. Good luck!
The "B" mode gives us to make photos as long as we want to?
Hi, the B mode (Bulb mode) will allow you to keep the shutter open until you let go of the shutter button, BUT it only goes up to 10 seconds. You can keep the shutter open for .5 seconds, or 3 seconds, or 6.75 seconds or however long, just not longer than 10 seconds.
How far will that camera shoot 🤨
Hey I am trying to decide between one of the instax cameras (preferably mini 90) and the polaroid snap. Have any idea which one I should get?
Jess Hey Jess, I haven't shot with the Polaroid snap, so I can't give a fair comparison but, personally I would go with one of the instax cameras. If I want to shoot digital (which I often do), I'll use my digital camera, or phone, and when I want to shoot film, I'll use a film camera. I do think the Polaroid Snap is a cool camera though. Let me know what one you decide on. Peace
Film Photography Club hey I decided on the instax mini 90
the flash is not turning off for me...
For the beach shots did u have flash on?
Gabby Sevillano I'm pretty sure the flash was off.
hello ,I have a question , what camera do you recommend? , instax mini 70 or instax mini 90?
I can't really say. I haven't tried the mini 70 but it looks like a great camera. I think the Mini 90 is still their top of the line of camera tho. I'm sure either one will be a great camera, they're both pretty similar.
how many clicks are possible with this camera and how to refill the cartridge?
You get 10 clicks per cartridge. The cartridges are disposable, so when it's empty, you throw it away and put in a new one. It's very easy to put in a new cartridge.
I don't think that photo is ruined. Gives it character. It's just a cute birthmark.
should i load the films first or insert the battery first?
Mary Lourds Serrano I would put the battery in first and then the film.
I don't know. Plenty people edit their photos to look more old timey and retro... Black sun spots is exactly that.
It's ruined if you're not into that kind of photography... But I'll be a jackass and claim that a polaroid camera isn't what you're looking for then ;)
can we use the mini instant film for the wide picture? is it able to get all the elements of things in the picture just like if we want to take a family picture in wide, does the photo come out with heads had been cut?
anh the second thing i'd like to ask that if i take a photo at the area where is full of sunlight so how can i solve this issue to make the result comes out with balancing between light and dark?
Hey, Only the mini film will work for the camera. You can't use the wide the instant film in the Mini 90. You should be able to get a group shot of your family pretty easily. You may have to back up a little bit depending on how many people are in your photo. Thanks
There's not always a perfect solution to this problem. You have to decide if you want the bright areas of your photo to be exposed well, or choose the shadow areas of the photo to be exposed well. Sometimes it's not possible to get a perfect exposure when there's a great difference between dark and light in your scene. A common practice is to "expose for the shadows" and go from there. Hope that helps.
What mode should I use when I go to a concert with tons of flashing lights and I'm in one of the rows in the upper right (a teeny bit far) from the stage? Thank you so much!
I would try the landscape mode first, that's the one with the mountain icon. Why? Because that setting makes subjects 3 meters or further away sharper than other settings. As for exposure, I would try using the L (light) setting. Of course I could be wrong, and you'll probably have to experiment a little bit, but that's where I would start. Good luck, have fun!
Ah, thank you very much! Would I use flash or no (cuz' the flashing lights)? Would it affect the picture in any way?
Funky Cløud my guess would be to not use flash. From what it sounds like, the stage will be too far away for the flash to reach. It might be cool to use the flash and light up some of the audience in the foreground though. As always, experiment and don't be afraid to make some mistakes :-)
Does this camera have a mode where you can take to pictures at once like the Instax mini 70?
I'm not positive I understand the question. But I believe the answer is yes. You can do a double exposure on one piece of film, and you can also do two separate photos back to back when you press the self timer button twice. I haven't used the MIni 70 yet, so I'm not sure.
If you mean like take 2 pictures one after the other there is the option to do that with the self timer mode, you just click that button again and it comes up with a x2 and will take the shot twice so you get 2 prints :)
Cool wen my instax mini 40 is death or i drop it 😅😅 by accident afcours😏 i will buy this beautifull camera. Its has everything i am looking for in a non digitale camera and its small like the instax mini 40 black 😊✌🏾👍🏾👋🏾😁thanks for this review Film Photography Club😊👋🏾
what kind of film to u use for the camera?
Sorry for the late reply, I just saw this... Anyways, you can use Fujifilm Instax Mini film. I would recommend the plain white film. Here's a link to Amazon Fujifilm INSTAX Mini Instant Film Twin Pack (White) www.amazon.com/dp/B00EB4ADQW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_9eSQxbPQN3G70
Great review, thanks! Have you played with the wide format?
Charles Kuhn Hey, thanks! Yes, I've shot some with the wide format and have begun filming a review for the 210 wide instax camera :-)
Are there any cheaper alternatives for the film?
From what I know, not at the moment. That would be nice though.
Great video thanks! Just got my Fuji instax mini and bummer that beach and sun shots wont work out.
I want one so bad
Well then go get one! Beg, borrow, steal! Ok, maybe don't steal.
Film Photography Club i got one
green Engineer nice!
Thanks for a great review! Black hole sun pics were awesome IMO, and the asshole cat pillow in the background is super.
Haha. Thanks! Love your avatar / username!
Where can I get one of those cat pillows???
Yip van M rip n dip is the brand. u can buy these at zumiez i think.
Nice videos keep it up❤️
Thanks a lot! I've been busy but I'm working on a couple new videos. Cheers
Ok but why did every shot look good to me though, even the ones he said that "didn't turn out well".
Do you think this one is better than the lomo instant? I'm hesitating wich one to buy...
Ward Mertens I haven't used the lomo one but I have seen some not so good reviews. I can't tell you what one to buy, but I can say that I really like the mini 90 and that it's a solid camera. I definitely think it's worth the cost. Good luck!
Thanks for the quick answer, i bought one today, I'm looking forward using it :)
Ward Mertens That's awesome! Have fun with your new camera!
Does this have some kind of selfie mode or a mini mirror to take selfies?
mr.gokys the Blunty review says the button near the lens acts as a great selfie mirror
Aight thanks
Many thanks for a great video and great photos! Advise me, please, what Polaroid is best to buy? Instax Mini 90?
Thanks a lot! Appreciate it. It really depends on how much control you want over your camera and photos, and how much you're willing to spend. In my experience, I really like/need the control the Mini 90 offers over the Mini 8. They also just came out with the Mini 70, but I don't think it has the same manual control as the Mini 90 does. There's also the Instax Wide 300. It doesn't have all the same features as the Mini 90, but the image is twice as big. If a bigger photo is important to you, than you might want to look into that.
I don't think you can go wrong with the Mini 90 though. It's a really nice camera. Hope that helps.
ps. As I'm sure you know, Polaroid is a brand, not a generic term for instant photo. Just wanted throw that out there :-)
+Film Photography Club
Many thanks for the answer, I will take advantage of your wishes and tips
Black hole sun, won't you come?
Nagy Adam lol
And wash away the raaaaaaaiiiiinnnnn
Was anybody else just looking at the cushion in the back the whole time
That is one cute cat
Where did you buy your pillow with a cat
Juliano Enriquez it's from a company called RIPNDIP
