We tested the brand new instant camera Instax Mini 11 and want to share our impressions with you as soon as possible. The new generation Instax Mini cameras are extremely easy to use, fully automatic, with a powerful flash, macro mode, and a convenient mirror for selfies.
The focal length of the Instax Mini 11 is suitable for both portrait and landscape photography, and the short focusing distance (30 cm) helps capture great selfies. By the way, the quality of selfie shots has noticeably improved — photos taken in selfie mode are evenly exposed, and the background no longer turns black.
One thing to keep in mind: when shooting in bright weather, the camera slightly overexposes the shots. If you plan to shoot with the Mini 11 under bright sunlight, we found a solution: you can attach a polarizing or ND filter to the camera lens, or use sunglasses — this helps reduce overexposure. Some of the photos in the selection were taken with a polarizing filter.
The Instax Mini 11 is a fully automatic camera, so if you want more control during shooting, we recommend checking out other models of Instax instant cameras — for example, the Mini 90, SQ6, or Wide 300. But even a camera with minimal settings can deliver a pleasant result.
The camera is powered by two AA batteries, which you can find in any supermarket, and is compatible with all Instax Mini film cartridges. The Instax Mini 11 is available in five color options. The package includes two interchangeable shutter buttons and a convenient strap.
Overall, Instax Mini 11 is a good budget camera for capturing cool parties and bright selfies with friends. We love instant photography for its speed and simplicity. You just need to press the button, and within a few minutes, you'll have a fully developed mini photo in your hands. Isn't that a wonder?
