The Mini 99 is a 2024 Instax Mini-format camera positioned as the "premium analog" Instax. It adds a six-position color-effect dial (Light Blue, Sepia, Warm Tone, Faded Green, Soft Magenta, plus Normal), three-step zone focus, manual brightness adjustment in five steps, double exposure, sport mode, and a tripod thread. Unlike the cheaper Mini 12, every parameter except aperture is photographer-controlled.

Announced February 2024. Successor in spirit to the Mini 90 Neo Classic (2013), which was Fuji's previous "enthusiast" Instax. Released globally May 2024. Marketing positioned the 99 against the user generation that grew up on Instagram filters — the color-effect dial is essentially a hardware filter wheel.
Most Instax cameras have one mode: take the photo, hope the meter copes. The Mini 99 puts back the controls Polaroid SX-70 owners take for granted: exposure compensation, multi-exposure, bulb. The color effects, dismissed initially as gimmickry, turned out to be the headline feature in user practice — they let people get a "look" out of camera that previously required scanning and editing the print.
The Mini 99 is the most-bought film camera of 2024–2025 by unit volume, by a wide margin. Whether it counts as a "real" film camera is a discussion that mirrors the SX-70 vs disposable arguments of the 70s.
Lens fixed. Accessories: official strap, Fujifilm SP-3 / link printers (compatible with Instax film for hybrid use). Fujifilm sells Instax Mini film in monochrome, color, and seasonal special borders.
