Fujifilm Instax Mini 41

Name: Instax Mini 41
Brand: Fujifilm
Availability: InStock

The Instax Mini 41 is Fujifilm's updated retro-styled instant camera — a successor to the Mini 40 with a refined vintage aesthetic, automatic exposure, and a built-in selfie mirror. Its tactile dial controls give it a more premium feel than the Mini 12 while keeping the same simple point-and-shoot experience. A great choice for those who want their camera to look as good as the prints it produces.

GearFrame's Take

A stylish step up from the Mini 12 — the retro design and refined feel make it one of the best-looking instant cameras at this price.
