The Instax Mini 20, is one of the cameras in the Instax Mini series of instant cameras capable of delivering high-quality, credit card-size photographs. Its predecessor was the Instax Mini 10. The Instax Mini 20 comes in three colors: purple, orange, or black. It is sold for about S$160 (around US$80). I have only seen this camera in Asia, it hasn't come to America yet.

The Instax Mini 20 is compared to the Polaroid Joy Cam except the Joy Cam is manual and doesn't require batteries like the Instax Mini. The photos of an Instax Mini come out in credit card size but there is special film for wider shots.

Since the size of the photo is small it is better to take objects at a close distance for better detail and definition. As the instax mini 20 insert suggests the camera can be used to take shoes or food for documentation, your friends and family as well as take different hairstyles and clothes (for us girls mostly :).

Film comes in single packets of 10 photos or double packets with 20 photos. The 20 photo packs are cheaper.

Overall, I feel that the camera is worth it. It isn't as expensive as a polaroid and the small photo size allows it to be easily carried around.
