FUJIFILM INSTAX MINI 12 Instant Film Camera in color purple on a green background.
Fuji

It's almost summertime, and that means you might be planning a dream vacation, camping trip or many much-needed visits to the pool, lake or beach. If you have any fun plans on the docket, you may also be wondering how to document these special memories. Well, here's a deal for you. 

The Fuji Instax Mini 12 instant camera is down to $84 in several colors: blossom pink, mint green and purple. While the Fuji Instax Mini is usually just under $100, some (but not all) colors are $10 off at Walmart.

If you're looking for other budget-friendly deals to spice up your summertime memories, we've rounded up the top deals under $25. You should also scope out our favorite Amazon Spring Sale deals and Best Buy deals.

The Instax Mini 12 is a great entry-level instant camera for beginners, but it packs some powerful features and specs. The camera features a 60mm Instax lens, auto exposure, auto flash and a focus range of 0.3 meters to infinity. Whether you want to point and shoot or play around with angles, lighting and focus, you can be confident you're going to make high-quality images without too much effort. 

One of my favorite things about Fuji cameras, especially the Instax Mini 12, is how lightweight and compact they are. At just over a pound, you can throw the Instax Mini 12 into any carry-on, weekend bag, backpack, or just hold it in your hands, without taking up too much space or being a big inconvenience. 

It also comes in a range of fun, summery colors. I think mint green is my favorite, but the lilac purple and the light blossom pink are also classic and eye-catching. 

Why this deal matters

The Instax Mini 12 instant camera is one of those items that you don't know you need until you have it, and it changes how you document all of your special memories. It makes for an excellent gift for people of all ages, especially those looking to channel creative energy into a new hobby. 

It's also an ideal travel companion. Several of my closest friends and I have instant cameras, and we love bringing them along to our quarterly girls' trips to capture all of our fun adventures. Since the Fujifilm instant camera produces 2-by-3-inch prints in just a few seconds, you'll have some souvenirs to bring home and frame or hang on the fridge.Â
