Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Fujifilm Instax Mini 12

I've owned this camera for 3+ years now and am starting to look for a replacement. Although a decent Point&Shoot camera, I noticed a definite difference in picture quality when I compared my photos (prints and 'on-screen') to my sister's Point&Shoot Canon PowerShot, which is actually a year older than my z5. I've tried 'tooling' around with the different settings/options, but nothing changes. My images are definitely granier and 'softer'...not as crisp and clear as I would like. It is easy to use, but I am ready for an upgrade. Canon, here I come!

Just as advertised. I was impressed with the items. I could not buy even the battery/charger local for half the price. I would recommend it highly. Great buy, Just as I would expect from a Amazon purchase.

I am only checking the reviews because I have had my camera for exactly two years and just like the review below, the camera will not stay powered even with brand new batteries. I dumped a bunch of good batteries thinking it was the battery and now just figuring out it is the camera! I am disappointed to say the least - I need my camera for a wedding this weekend. Argh. Don't buy this one! (While researching, I also read that this model is discontinued... I wonder why?)

Really nice point and shoot for the money, just a shame I had to buy it for an ex-girlfriend. Guess I'm not getting that one back.

I love my camera and I love that it takes movies too...I just wish it had a stronger zoom or at least some available adapters for a stronger zoom for my bird photos! But other than that, I have enjoyed it tremendously and get great photos out of it.

I've had this camera for over 5yrs.. it was a gift given to me ... yes its high in price but it was worth every dollar spent.. I love this camera so much I didnt care to even lend it out to my daughter on her special functions... this camera takes very good quality picture...easy to adjust with once u get use to it'''.Plays games which most cameras dont carry that feature....

The best in sound videos .and voice messages....went out a few days ago and my camera fell and the zoom was not working ..my world turn upsidedown .. so i quickly went online and hoping to find that same one... one week after I purchased the same exact camera from amazon and was so thrill to have it all set up again....thanx to fuji and amazon

I will recommend this camera to any and any one which is why im having it twice in a Row

This is by FAR the best camera I've owned. I'm a college student, and portability is important to me. This camera is very thin and light. The autofocus and camera modes are much, much better than my current Nikon (I dropped my Finepix and broke it...had to have a camera fast and they only had Nikon). The camera was very reliable for me for a few years, was easy to take pictures with and light in my pocket. If you're looking for an inexpensive camera that's reliable and takes good pictures, this is it.

Don't get me wrong. I love this camera. As a student I made the decision that I couldn't afford an expensive habit like owning a D-SLR so I stick by my decision to buy this camera.

For many things it's great. The optical zoom is something that you would have to pay through the nose for in lenses in an SLR. It's versatile and has lots of the features and customisability of an SLR. Infact it behaves just like one.

Good points:

1.You can shoot in RAW (although this is buried in the menu),
2.Allows for shot bracketing for HDR,
3.Varying levels of control offered for aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focus, white balance to suit any possible level of interest and to be useful in most situations - As good as an SLR on this.
4.Live display on LCD which is clear and large
5.Anti shake technology useful for High Zoom
6.Hot shoe for external flash
7.The macro and super macro setting are pretty good.
8.It's pretty cheap.
9.The Tilting screen is super useful! For taking shots in crowds/on the floor it is essential.

and all the obvious ones they tell you on the website. If you were to upgrade an SLR from the kit lenses it comes with in order to do the same you would find your wallet considerably lighter. All in all a great camera. So why not buy?

Bad points:

1.The manual focus sucks! The focus once button redeems this slightly but this is a pain.
2.I don't like the digital viewfinder being digital I'd rather an optical one but that's just me. It is useful in very sunny conditions.
3.The sensor is significantly smaller than an entry level SLR and you do notice it although it is better than any other non SLR camera I've tried.
4.The smallest aperture I can get to on min Zoom is F8.... This is really annoying and frankly rubbish compared to F22 of the entry level SLR. This means that without buying neutral density filters It is impossible to take long exposure pictures in all but the worst of light. This camera is not good for long exposures or photos where a large Depth of Field is required for this reason.

However, I'm very glad I own one. The Pros definitely outweigh the cons. These are really the only 4 cons I have. I could have listed Pros all day I just stuck to the ones that aren't mentioned much.

Hope that helps

I purchased this for my fuji camera and dont regret it. The case has a hard shell which really protect the camera.

I received this kit today and it looks like everything is well made. Haven't had a chance to test out the functionality and durability yet, but I feel like overall it's a good value for your money. I don't know why I was expecting a bigger tripod because I know in the description it says "tabletop", but it is 4.5" tall - just an FYI.

The memory card and the NiMH batteries with charger is certainly a good buy. The camera bag is not of great quality, but it is good for the money that you pay. In all, it is OK for the pricing.

This is a good buy, cases usually don't come this sturdy. Only concern was the loosly attached strings in the inside which I will be cutting out, other than that it's a great fit & ships fast too! Delivery estimate was dead on.

I have been overwhelmed with the simple complexity of this camera.
Takes pictures anywhere under most conditions very easily.
All options are within finger reach and can be changed very quickly.
Tip- read the manual and keep it with you while you get use to the options.

Having owned a Fuji F602 Zoom for many years, I was looking forward to receiving this gift from my wife. The 602 image quality (bearing in mind it is a 3MP camera) was fantastic producing clear precise images across a range of speeds and apertures. Its 'auto' setting also produced excellent results.

So it came as a surprize when I downloaded my first images from the 2000HD that they all appeared blurred - and those taken using the integral flash were all overexposed.

I tried the camera on many of the other settings and eventhough the images were better, they were still blurred and no way matched my old camera, despite offering a 10MP resolution.

Having finally tried and failed to produce some quality images, I felt that perhaps there was a problem with the lens - and have therefore returned the camera to Amazon.

It may well be that the camera that I received was faulty - and is not a true reflection of the model, but paying £160 I did expect similar or better results to my previous Fuji.

That said, the camera is laden with many useful features including the zoom bracketing (which takes three shots of the same image at different zoom settings simultaneously).

Having been a real fan of fuji cameras, I now feel dissapointed and will probably be looking at another brand in future.

Ive owned the D200, and controls and build aside, these are two different cameras. Surprisingly, this camera's nearest competitor isnt the Nikon D200 - it is the Canon 5D. Of course, the Canon clearly bests the s5 on resolution as it should. But that's it. The Fuji gives up little else to the Canon 5D but speed.

However, since the obvious comparison is between the s5 and D200, the s5 is clearly superior to the D200 on image quality, particularly right out of the camera. In speed of operation however, the D200 leaves the s5 in the proverbial dust.

The Nikon D200 is sure and fast, very fast. Like all the latest digital Nikon's, they will keep shooting for extended periods. However, the images demand you tweak the camera and do copious amounts of post-processing. The Fuji is more deliberate. It is fast enough to get out of its own way and get the shot and as well as the next, but not fast enough to keep shooting under demanding conditions, at which the Nikon excels. It isnt that the s5 is sluggish, it is that the Nikon is just so fast.

However, once you understand the reason for this relative slowness, you can deal with it. Again, it's all about the images.

The Fuji will produce stunning images from RAW files. It will do beautiful images straight from the camera. If you are a JPEG shooter and hate processing images on the computer, this is the camera for you.

Although the metering is very, very accurate under all but the most backlit conditions, it has a tendency to underexpose the images in anything less than sunlight, so exposure compensation is a must. The good news there, is that unlike most other cameras Ive used, where exposure compensation can be hit or miss - or thoroughly ineffective, compensation is even and responsive. This keeps me from having to fiddle with metering options trying to get the proper exposure. A seriously underrated feature of the camera.

Before the v1.06 firmware update, I was not impressed with the Automatic White Balance, having to constantly change the custom white balance, particularly with street lighting or ANY kind of flourescent lighting. Charged-gas lighting would give a nasty yellow or green cast to the images. After the update, the AWB is stunning, able to handle almost any lighting thrown at it. Since the update, I rarely touch the white balance settings. I simply dont have to. Amazing.

Also, before the update - the images would go "Blue" under strong light and deep shadows, with a deep magenta-ish cast at night. After the update, that tendency has been minimized and the images are far better balanced - giving that true Fuji color without overdoing it either way.

If you get a unit without the latest firmware, upgrade it at once. Period. This update gives me the camera I expected out of the box.

So, the good news: The images are worth every penny you pay.

The only way I can put it - standard, out of camera images often look like HDR images with unreal detail in both shadows and highlight. When you get that characteristic glossy look from a shot, you will involuntarily gasp.

More good news: For low light images, this camera is nothing short of amazing. I shoot primarily at night and in low light, and I rarely, almost never - shoot above ISO 1250. I have shot (using a f/2.8 17-55mm Nikkor) at ISO 2000 in near darkness, and the images came out as if I had studio lights with VERY little noise. And thats another thing, noise is near nonexistent on the vast majority of my images, and what there is has a nice even film-like grain, not blotchy or nasty as you would see on a D200 shooting above ISO 400.

However, all this goodness comes at a price. The high quality images are HUGE. A JPEG file set at the highest quality (FINE) takes up 5 - 7 megs. A RAW file averages 25 megs. This is why the camera doesnt feel as fast as the Nikon, as it is transferring massive amounts of data through the buffer to the card. You will start looking for large and very fast CF cards as well as upgrading your storage in short order.

The camera is expensive compared to the D200, but it is definitely worth the premium if you demand the highest quality images. To bring out the best in this camera, you need the highest quality lenses. It is also murder on sloppy camera technique, so be sure to avoid shake.

In all good conscience, I cannot rate the camera as 5 stars, but it is definitely a 4.5 - 4.75, even at the price.

If I had to choose between the D200 and S5, the S5 wins hands down. In fact, I would get a D2Xs as a speedy backup to this camera, not the D200. My wish would be if Fuji decided to put this sensor and technology into the body of a D2Xs. Then Id probably give it 5 stars.
-----------
(Edit)

So, after 5 months and 35,000 images later...

For image settings I dont fark around with the film simulation

I've owned this camera for a year now and absolutely love it. This camera is easy to use, takes great pictures and I don't have to lug around a bunch of extra lenses. Unfortunately, the camera strap worked its way loose from the body of the camera, resulting in it falling on the concrete. It still takes good pictures, but the auto-focus is noisy and very slow :( I've just ordered the Fuji FinePix S200EXR as a replacement. I hope it's as good as this camera has been!

I purchased this with every intention of taking photography much more seriously. However, this camera is able to deliver exceptional quality photographs without having the need to know everything there is to know about the art!
I have had a great deal of fun with this, and have taken great shots in a variety of scenes. For the price this delivered exceptional value, with quality and flexibilty.
I would highly recommend to anyone who wishes to take the first step from a standard camera but does not want to invest as much time and money in the more expensive DSLRs out there.

The Movie feature is also excellent. I hadnt really paid much attention to it, but later discivered it produces HD quality movies with zoom features whilst filming. Better than my recently purchased camcorder.

Watch out for the accessories linked via amazon. I bought a camera case which was much too small!

I've had this camera for a couple of years now and carry it in my pocket pretty much everywhere I go. Takes pretty good pics, decent battery life, and has given me only 1 problem since I've owned it - sometimes (rarely) the lens gets partially extended in my pocket and stays open (probably jostled it while in my pocket). It's usually just a matter of removing the battery and replacing it to get it to reset.
Bottom line - It's a nice handy go-anywhere camera.

Not had a chance to use them fully but have charged them ready to go and I see no reason not to be completely satisfied with this product. Delivery trouble free and promp.

This case fit my small Fuji camera great with a little extra room for a extra batteries, etc. It's made of a solid material so hold's up well when thrown into my purse.

I bought the black version of this little camera about three years ago and it has been the best value buy I think I have ever purchased. I am an avid Youtuber (Maybrick44 if you want to check out some video's taken with this camera) and so this camera has had a lot of use in all weathers. It takes great quality films for its size and good quality pictures to. I am no whizz kid with technical equipment either so I am unable to use this to get the best out of it but, even as a 'point and click' merchant, I have taken some great pics.

Like all of the modern stuff these days, it isn't straight forward to get used to at first and you can get your settings mixed up if you don't know what you are doing. This said however, there is a handy 'reset' setting that can get you out of trouble and return the camera to its original settings (ideal for 'point and clickers!') There are a few drawbacks with the camera but nothing major. For example, when taking pictures at 7 mega pixels, the camera takes a while to process your shots. This means that you are unable to shoot a succession of shots quickly. I also find that the 10X Zoom is occasionally insufficient but lets be fair here we are talking about a cheap camera! You will spend quite a bit of money on batteries if you take a lot of film but I reckon I get around 2-3 hours of footage for a set of Duracell batteries which isn't bad really.

Once you do get used to using this, you will be keen to get out and use it. Believe me, if a technophobic like me can learn to use this to ANY degree it must be user friendly! HA HA

No, I have taken thousands of pictures and hundreds of films with this and would not hesitate to buy another should anything happen to mine.

A real bargain.

More than adequate and a good price. I did remove the tacky label for two reasons: (1) it was tacky and (2) the pin backings on the inside of the case were only covered my a thin piece of fabric that fell off and I was concerned the pins might scratch the camera. There are two small holes on the front of the case, but that is not a big deal.

i purchased this case for my new fuji J40 camera. It fit perfectly and the price was right! It actually cost mor for the shipping. My husband thinks the zipper wil not last, but hopefully it will protect the camera a little better than the Not case that I had for the camera that I dropped and broke!

I am a Fuji fan anyway, so lets get that out of the way first.
I previously owned a FinePix S5700 which was a very good all rounder. For Christmas 2009 My wife bought me a Toshiba Camelio HD video camera (which i hinted for) but to put it mildly it was rubbish..rubbish rubbish.
My wife took it back got a refund.
My wife then bought me S2000HD via my amazon account (unfortunately the first one never turned up). All I can say is WOW
The picture quality is fantastic even in very low light and the HD video is better than anything i have seen on any HD video camera.
The camera is very easy to use and has some very good professional features, which would give some high end Nikons or Cannons a run for there money.Its also worth mentioning that the S2000HD which I got from Amazon has the Version 2 firmware, which is not even listed on the official Fuji website (The latest version on Fuji website is version 1.1)
The price on Amazon is exceptional good value for money as you dont just get the camera you get the full HD connection kit and remote control which is normally £35.00 to £50.00 alone.
My tip would be to buy a screen protector for the LCD screen.

This is not a indepth review, as you can see but if you are thinking about buying this camera "BUY IT NOW" you wont regret it.
