Hello kitty video camera1/10/2024 However, if you're reading this review, you don't care about those things. In conventional terms, this is an inferior camera to both the Instax Mini 11 and Instax Mini 9 the former has integrated close-up shooting and a superior flash, while the latter is smaller and more ergonomic (and, if you buy one of the limited edition colors, you also get three colored filters that act like gels for creative shooting). Quite the contrary such is its lack of complexity that this is one of the best cameras for kids, given its straightforward operation, (virtually) instant gratification, pint-sized physical pictures and, of course, its undeniably adorable design. The camera lacks a self-timer, and as such also lacks a tripod mount, though those feel less egregious here since we can't see kids (clearly the target audience for this product) lamenting their absence. We would love it if this camera featured the integrated close-up lens featured in the Mini 11, but that's one of the key things that differentiates that model from both this and the Mini 9. The need to attach the close-up filter whenever you want to take a selfie or shoot something a bit closer to you remains a faff. Images are crisp and clear, with great contrast and plenty of detail (in instant camera terms, of course!). Since the Instax Mini Hello Kitty contains the same innards as a Mini 9, the performance and resulting pictures are basically identical. Size comparison between the Instax Mini Hello Kitty (left) and the Instax Mini 9 (right) (Image credit: James Artaius) Instax Mini Hello Kitty: Performance Obviously it wasn't designed with ergonomics in mind, but it's certainly no clunkier to handle than your typical Polaroid camera. This does mean that the body is significantly bigger than a regular Mini (see below), and is about 100g heavier as well. Still, neither the 9 or 11 possess this camera's killer feature: it's the shape of Hello Kitty's bulbous, balloon-like head! It even has her signature bow as a separate, molded element on the front! It's worth noting that the Instax Mini 11 features an updated lens with an integrated close-up mode, which not only removes the need for the (easily lost) attachment but also enables you to shoot at a slightly closer 0.3m. In order to shoot selfies (where there is a small selfie mirror on the lens) or close-ups, you'll need to clip on the separate (but included) close-up lens, which enables you to shoot at up to 0.35m. This means that the Instax Mini Hello Kitty also shares the same 0.6m close focusing distance as the Mini 9. So it features the same fixed 60mm f/12.7 lens, 1/60 sec shutter speed and 5 shooting options: Indoors / Night (f/12.7), Cloudy / Shade (f/16), Sunny / Slightly Cloudy (f/22), Sunny and Bright (f/32) and High Key. The Instax Mini Hello Kitty is essentially an Instax Mini 9 in a different body.
