![]() We would love it if this camera featured the integrated close-up lens featured in the Mini 11, but that's one of the key things that differentiates that model from both this and the Mini 9. The need to attach the close-up filter whenever you want to take a selfie or shoot something a bit closer to you remains a faff. Images are crisp and clear, with great contrast and plenty of detail (in instant camera terms, of course!). Since the Instax Mini Hello Kitty contains the same innards as a Mini 9, the performance and resulting pictures are basically identical. Size comparison between the Instax Mini Hello Kitty (left) and the Instax Mini 9 (right) (Image credit: James Artaius) Instax Mini Hello Kitty: Performance Obviously it wasn't designed with ergonomics in mind, but it's certainly no clunkier to handle than your typical Polaroid camera. ![]() This does mean that the body is significantly bigger than a regular Mini (see below), and is about 100g heavier as well. Still, neither the 9 or 11 possess this camera's killer feature: it's the shape of Hello Kitty's bulbous, balloon-like head! It even has her signature bow as a separate, molded element on the front! It's worth noting that the Instax Mini 11 (opens in new tab) features an updated lens with an integrated close-up mode, which not only removes the need for the (easily lost) attachment but also enables you to shoot at a slightly closer 0.3m. In order to shoot selfies (where there is a small selfie mirror on the lens) or close-ups, you'll need to clip on the separate (but included) close-up lens, which enables you to shoot at up to 0.35m. ![]() This means that the Instax Mini Hello Kitty also shares the same 0.6m close focusing distance as the Mini 9. So it features the same fixed 60mm f/12.7 lens, 1/60 sec shutter speed and 5 shooting options: Indoors / Night (f/12.7), Cloudy / Shade (f/16), Sunny / Slightly Cloudy (f/22), Sunny and Bright (f/32) and High Key. The Instax Mini Hello Kitty is essentially an Instax Mini 9 in a different body. ![]()
