The Instax Mini 70 Michael Kors is an instant camera created in collaboration between Fujifilm and the renowned fashion designer Michael Kors. It combines functionality with stylish design and is aimed at fashion-conscious photographers who value aesthetics and individuality.
The camera uses the Instax Mini format, which is known for its handy and easily shareable images. The size of an Instax Mini image is approximately the same as a credit card, with the actual image measuring 6.2 x 4.6 cm and surrounded by an elegant frame. For color images there is the aktuell_instax_mini_farben. If you want to take black and white pictures, you can use the Instax Mini Monochrome*.
After the camera is triggered, the image is ejected and development begins. The photo is ready within a short time and can be presented or given as a gift. This immediate and personal aspect of instant photography makes it particularly attractive to those who want to capture and share special moments.
The Instax Mini 70 Michael Kors is equipped with various features that make photography easier and improve image quality. These include an automatic exposure control, a selfie mode with a mirror and a flash that automatically adjusts to the ambient brightness.
The design of the camera is inspired by Michael Kors aesthetics and is characterized by clean lines. Two versions were presented. A gold version (2016) and a silver version (2017). There is Michael Kors’ signature on the black back.
Each camera comes with a metal chain in the matching color. There are also seven different bags from Michael Kors that are suitable for the camera. The price for a bag was around 350 euros. A copy of the camera was sold for 130 euros. Later there were slightly larger pockets for the camera.
