Sometimes we are tempted to buy the cheaper of the 2 because we can’t see the difference – or it doesn’t matter because we want a specific colour. I used to have an Instax Mini 8 and although nothing is wrong with it I was just too happy to pass it onto my sister when I received and Instax Mini 9 – and this is why:
The Instax Mini 8 and Instax Mini 9 is so similar that you could easily think they are the same, but the Instax 8 was released with a limited colour range and without a selfie mirror or close-up lens attachment.
Key differences between the Instax Mini 8 and Instax Mini 9
| Instax Mini 8 | Instax Mini 9 |
| Available in white, pink, blue, yellow, black, raspberry and grape | Available in lime green, cobalt blue, ice blue, flamingo pink, smoky white |
| Can buy selfie mirror attachment | Has a selfie mirror built in already |
| Can buy close-up lens attachment | Close-up lens attachment included |
| Strap is a round rope | Strap is a flat ribbon |
There are however a few limited or special edition colours and cartoon model Instax cameras like the Instax Mini Hello Kitty and Minions.

If you are a Minion fan…
I have seen the Instax Minion Camera being sold on Takealot on special for R799 marked down from R1189. There is also Minion themed film! It is all about timing when you buy…
