The Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 is an excellent beginner-friendly instant camera with intuitive controls, accurate viewfinder, and affordable film costs. While it struggles with overexposure in bright sunlight and has a slightly clunky feel, it remains the top budget recommendation for instant photography.
