Fujifilm instax Square 2 vs Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 Bundle

The Square 2 is the better camera; the Mini 12 bundle is the better gift. The Square 2 shoots larger 1:1 prints, has three focus modes with a close-up selfie mirror, and adds automatic exposure plus Warm and Cool mood filters. The Mini 12 is smaller, lighter at about 10.8 oz, and its Mini film is the most widely stocked instax format, but focus is fixed and creative controls are limited to a selfie mirror and close-up lens. Owners of both praise the simple twist-and-shoot operation; the common complaint on the Mini side is tiny prints, and on the Square side the bulkier body and AA batteries.

• Choose the Fujifilm instax Square 2 if you want bigger square prints, real close-up and landscape modes, and filters that change the look of a shot.
• Choose the Fujifilm instax Mini 12 bundle if you want the smallest, lightest instax, the cheapest film to feed it, and a ready-made gift with case, album and frames.
