Choosing among Fujifilm Instax Mini film instant cameras usually starts with two questions: how much you want to pay and whether you'd rather have a used camera or a new one. The four options here show that split clearly. At one end, there's a used pink Instax Mini 7+ with the lowest listed price. At the other, two new Instax Mini 13 cameras sit at the same price in different colors. In between, a new black Instax Mini 41 gives you a middle cost. All four use the Instax Mini format, so the film experience is consistent across the group. What changes is condition, body color, and price.
Quick Take
The quickest way to choose is to decide whether the lowest price matters more than a new-condition body. The pink Mini 7+ is the cheapest listed option, but it's used and untested. If you want new, the black Mini 41 is the lower-priced new option. If you want one of the two Mini 13 models, the Clay White and Dreamy Purple versions match on price and specs, leaving color as the deciding factor.

Product Notes
Fujifilm Instax Mini 7+ Instant Film Camera Pink Untested
For the lowest listed price in this set, the Fujifilm Instax Mini 7+ Instant Film Camera Pink Untested is the one to look at first. It's a used Fujifilm Instax Mini camera in pink with normal cosmetic wear and a wrist strap included. It is marked as untested, so you're taking on more uncertainty than you would with the new options. The camera is also sold without batteries or film, so the total cost will be higher than the $24.99 price once you add film. That can still be the right call if you're sure you want the cheapest possible entrance into Instax Mini shooting and are comfortable with a used unit.
Fujifilm Instax Mini 41 Instant Film Camera 16844408 (Black)
This Fujifilm Instax Mini 41 comes in new condition at $79.95, making it the mid-priced new option here. It's the only new camera priced between the used Mini 7+ and the two Mini 13 cameras. The model is Mini 41, and the title points to a black body, so it's the most subdued color choice in the group. If you want a new camera that doesn't carry the top listed price, this is the one that fits. The trade-off is that you give up the lighter or more colorful finishes of the Mini 13 pair, and if you're after the absolute lowest cost, the used Mini 7+ remains less expensive.
Fujifilm Instax Mini 13 Instant Film Camera - Clay White
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 13 Instant Film Camera - Clay White is one of two new Mini 13 models at the $93.99 price. It sits at the top of this price range alongside the Dreamy Purple version. Both are new Mini 13 cameras with matching dimensions, so the main difference is the Clay White body. If you want a new camera in a light neutral color that will blend with most setups, this is the direct match. The trade-off is that this model costs more than the Mini 41, and the only difference from the purple Mini 13 is the color you choose. Decide based on the finish you want to live with.
Fujifilm Instax Mini 13 Instant Film Camera - Dreamy Purple
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 13 Instant Film Camera - Dreamy Purple is the color-matched counterpart to the Clay White Mini 13. It's new, priced at $93.99, and carries the same dimensions and model details as the white version. If purple is the look you want, this is the one that gives you that color without any price difference from the white Mini 13. The trade-off is that the decision between the two Mini 13 cameras has to come down to color alone, because the price and key specs line up. Choose this one if the playful purple body is more appealing than the neutral Clay White finish.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- If the price is your first constraint, start with the Fujifilm Instax Mini 7+ Pink Untested. It has the lowest listed price of the four, but it is used and untested, so be comfortable with a unit that may need extra care.
- If you want a new camera but don't want the top listed price, the Fujifilm Instax Mini 41 Black is the right mid-point. It sits between the used 7+ and the Mini 13 pair in both price and expectations.
- If you want a new Mini 13 and already know your preferred color, pick the Clay White or Dreamy Purple version. They share the same price, so the final decision is purely which color you'd rather have.
