Lomography Diana Mini Camera

Lomography Diana Mini Camera As far cute film cameras go, you can’t beat Lomography for choice. The Diana Mini is a popular choice and is great for getting that toy camera effect. The camera takes 35mm film, which is pretty easy to buy and develop, and photos can be taken in square and half-frame formats. You can buy these cameras direct from the Lomography store or from ASOS, Urban Outfitters, and Amazon.com as well. Prices may vary so hunt around for a bargain!

Fujifilm Instax Mini Camera

Fujifilm Instax Mini Camera If you love the idea of polaroids and instant photography, check out Fujifilm’s range of Instax cameras. The Instax Mini camera is one of the most popular versions and takes credit card-sized instant photographs. These cameras are great for parties and events, and photos can be shared instantly. They can cost anywhere from $50 to $100 depending on where you buy them, and film costs extra (although my tip would be to hunt around on eBay for cheaper deals on film).
