Now, three years on, it has a successor: the Instax Mini 13. If you were hoping for big upgrades to performance and features, let me disappoint you now: very little has changed. This is a bit disappointing, least of all because one of the big letdowns of the Mini 12 has still not been resolved. Nevertheless, the Mini 13 is still one of the leading entry-level instant cameras on the market.

Fujifilm’s Instax Mini 13 is a more budget-friendly option that can take great photos mostly on par with the Mini Evo. It’s easy to use (just twist its lens to turn the camera on or off), it outperforms other budget instant cameras we tested, and we like its bright, playful designs. Its biggest improvement over the Mini 12 is its self-timer, with both two- and 10-second countdown options.

The Fujifilm Instax Mini 13 builds on what already makes the series so popular: simplicity, nostalgia, and the fun of instant photography. Instead of making big changes, it keeps things easy and familiar, just like previous models. After using it for a while, it feels like a natural, welcome addition to the lineup rather than a major overhaul.

The price is reasonable, too. For Rs 8,499, the Instax Mini 13 offers the fun of clicking your photo the old-fashioned way and getting a printed photo in approximately 90 seconds! Those photos hold value, both sentimentally and quite literally, with one reel allowing 10 prints costing Rs 699.

At ₹8,999, the Instax Mini 13 is priced aggressively. Of course, the real cost of ownership comes from the film packs, with a 10-shot pack costing around ₹750. That works out to roughly ₹75 per photo.

Fujifilm’s Instax Mini 13 might be new for 2026, but it looks like it could have come out 10 years ago or more. The fundamentals of the successful instant camera line stay the same in that it’s a basic, inexpensive instant camera that lets you take fun, physical photos that develop in about 90 seconds.

Little has changed since the Mini 12, but this still MIGHT be the best option for an easy to use Instax camera. Chris Niccolls went to downtown Calgary to find out if that’s the case.

Despite the slightly bulky build, the camera is comfortable to hold and doesn’t feel too heavy in everyday use. The grip is basic but effective, helped by the textured finish on the body that prevents it from slipping out of your hand.

Like the predecessor (and competing mini instants like the Polaroid Go ), the film can often overexpose in bright sun, which is my biggest complaint about the new instant film camera.
