The Instax mini 99 camera is one of their most advanced yet you could say when it comes to features and comes in one colour only this time around which is odd however we are not complaining as we love all their old fashion styled cameras.
It is on the big side and differs from past cameras when it comes to how it is set up, there is no USB port on the camera so you charge with the little charge box provided that keeps your battery topped which you should do when not in use as these cameras do drain pretty fast especially if out on a shoot and you have plenty of film with you.
The most notable part of the camera is the lens like most of their cameras this twists open to turn on with 0.3-0.6m 0.3-3m and 3m and has a macro mode there is also a vignette setting on top of the lens. Also on front there is the flash and a shutter key.
The camera has two shutter keys this time around and can take photos in vertical or horizontal mode so this is kinda cool I think, There is also two dials this time around and this is where the new tech comes in with this camera, one controls the colours, you have several options here from FG WT LB SM SP and LL, the other dial controls the light with L+ to D- on it so this means you have two dials to compensate for that perfect picture and one giving Instagram like filters, inside the camera you can see how this works with the LED lights inside.
Instax MINI 99 camera – techbuzzireland
On the back of the camera you have the viewfinder battery compartment and an LCD display which is pretty neat. On the LCD display you have three options Mode, Self timer which is 10 seconds and Flash which has several options which is pretty self explanatory such as red eye and so on. Mode gives you indoor, sports, double exposure which means it blends two shots and finally bulb mode. This camera works quite well in low light.
Overall this camera is great to use whilst missing some features it has others, there is no selfie mirror so you aim and shoot at will here and I am not one to be posting selfies anyway but you can see the samples in the video review another option I felt odd was no charing on device but this is not really an issue, there is no app support like others in their range and other than that the rest is good with bulb mode for long exposure you have got vignette control with a wide lens a focus mode and sports mode which is ideally for those who are into sports.
There is times when some images are overcompensated or blown out but this has been an experience with me in general using these cameras and I am no expert but overall this is still a cool camera and their most advanced one yet with a fixed lens and looks cool even sitting on the table and after your friends or family see it they will want a photo of their own to take home and show off and get to play with all the new options on board.
various shots taken on the instax mini 99
INSTAX MINI 99 Product Features Include:
Brightness Control Dial: This feature offers five distinct levels of brightness: the Light (“L+”) setting indicates the brightest exposure, the “L”, “D”, and “N” settings offer the normal range of brightness, and the Dark (“D-”) setting represents the darkest available brightness level.
Shooting Modes: A variety of shooting modes enhance the user experience, with Indoor Mode designed for low light situations, Sports Mode, which increases the shutter speed to grab the perfect action shot, Double Exposure Mode, which lets the user combine two images into one, and Bulb Mode, which increases the amount of light let in when creating the image, creating a brightened effect on the print.
The camera’s Landscape, Standard, and Macro Focus Modes are easily accessible by adjusting the lens dial. Landscape Mode focuses on subjects positioned at a distance reference of “3.0m and beyond”. Macro Mode is perfect for close-ups and selfies at a distance reference of “0.3m to 0.6m”. Users can select Standard Mode for everything in between.
Self-timer: It is at hand to help create the perfect group image, and MINI 99’s flash controls include Auto mode, Fill-in (flash will always fire regardless of lighting), Red-eye Removal, or the option to turn the flash off, depending on the user’s lighting situation.
Grip and Tripod Mount: To enhance grip in even the most active image-making situations, MINI 99 comes with a precision-milled, Base Grip with Tripod Mount that also acts as a grip when attached to the camera (tripod sold separately).
Revolut, the licensed European bank with more than 40 million customers around the world, has today announced that its <18 app for 6-17 year olds now has more than 2 million young customers worldwide — jumping to a total of 3.5 million worldwide when including guardians. In the last year in Ireland, total customers of the Revolut <18 app — including kids and their guardians — have increased by nearly 35%.
A version of Revolut built especially for Gen-Z and beyond, the <18 app helps young people manage their money in ways that work for them — while providing the right controls to give parents and guardians peace of mind. In line with its growth, Revolut is supercharging its <18 app with a new look and features. These include Analytics to boost financial literacy through budgeting and spending analysis, and Wallpapers to help <18s to help teens express themselves.
The company is also making features like Pockets to set aside money towards specific goals and Spare Change round-ups available to all <18 app users for free for the first time. In Ireland, some of the top 20 goals for young people already using Pockets through a parent or guardian’s paid plan include:
Clothes, specifically from fast fashion site SHEIN;
Gadgets, such as mobile phones, PCs, and PlayStation 5s — or even cars;
And summer holidays — with London the most sought-after destination.
The addition of this new functionality for all will supercharge young people’s ability to put money aside for the things that matter to them — from the latest tech to events with friends.
Carlos Spada, Head of Product, Revolut <18 commented: “Our <18 app is built for teens and our goal is to be the ultimate financial companion, growing with young people and their financial needs. The features we’re announcing today will empower young people to take the lead on their finances and practise healthy money habits, all with fun opportunities for personalisation and the right level of parental oversight.
“We’re excited to see more and more young people choosing Revolut as the place to build towards financial independence.”
Revolut’s <18 app is also available in more than 20 markets including the UK, EEA, Australia, Singapore and the US. In Ireland, Revolut has seen an increase in average daily <18 wallet balances — up from €38.92 in March 2023 to €42.34 in March 2024, while average monthly <18 spending has decreased — down from €150.18 in March 2023 to €124.79 in March 2024. Alongside that, Irish kids received an average allowance of €9.71 in March 2024 — down from €10.41 last year.
To help young people grow healthy money habits, parents can try:
Finding everyday moments to talk about financial concepts. From budgeting at the supermarket to comparison shopping for a particular purchase, parents can help their kids understand the real-life value of money.
Giving kids a regular allowance or pay day. By providing regularity, parents can encourage kids to practise money management basics.
Getting granular on spending habits. Helping kids make use of spending alerts and analytics to stick to their budget, avoid overspending and think about where they might do things differently next time.
Helping kids put money aside to reach their goals. Whether your kid is after the latest video game or they’re planning ahead for university, help them set goals and stick to them.
Remembering financial literacy is lifelong. Stick with them and be consistent while they’re learning. Ensure money chats are positive and encourage questions.

Worldwide, 12 million dogs are in shelters waiting for their forever home, yet many do not get that chance, and the problem is reaching critical levels.
Research suggests that the quality and characteristics of shelter dog photos, such as floppy ears and closed mouths can drastically reduce adoption time*.
That’s why leading global pet food brand, PEDIGREE®, which has been supporting adoption for more than a decade, has turned to revolutionary technology to help give every shelter dog its time in the spotlight – and get seen by potential pet parents.
Launching today, Adoptable is the PEDIGREE brand’s first-of-its-kind initiative that combines proprietary AI technology with PEDIGREE’s substantial global ad reach to create picture perfect ads of shelter dogs in need of a home.
By using amateur dog photos captured by shelter workers, Adoptable technology gives every pup the professional-grade photography “glow up” they deserve.
“Adoptable is a transformational step for us at PEDIGREE. We’re committed to helping end dog homelessness around the world. Now that commitment can be at the heart of everything we do – in every ad,” Global Brand VP Fabio Alings says.
With Adoptable, a digital dog double provides information about the pose and general characteristics of the dog. Then, a machine learning model refines all the features to make the final image look just like the specific dog that is available for adoption.
With just a few pictures, Adoptable can reposition the dogs into different poses and create assets that are used in any PEDIGREE advertisement, while keeping the authentic characteristics and look of the shelter dog.
The technology allows shelter dogs in advertising to change based on the viewer’s location and switch out in real-time when a dog is adopted.
Global Marketing Manager, Mehgan Recker says what’s different about Adoptable is that it allows any ad that PEDIGREE makes to live its purpose – not just a few adoption ads.
“If we help shelter dogs be seen, we can help them be adopted. Now every dollar we spend on media doesn’t just take our products to the world; it takes adoptable shelter dogs too.”
Nexus Studios’ Technical Director, Vegard Myklebust says of the project, “This is an amazing opportunity to use bleeding edge technology for good. There’s simply no other way that this could have been done at the global scale with such important hyperlocal impact, than by harnessing the latest machine learning technology and our digital image making expertise.”
Adoptable also matches breeds to the location and traits that best suit the dog through geo-targeting and First-Party Data – making sure the right dog is being shown to the right person.
Launched first in the PEDIGREE brand’s global test market, New Zealand, the Adoptable technology will be rolled out in other markets in 2024.

The touch buttons on the earbuds make controlling music an absolute breeze and users can play and pause, answer or decline calls on the go and activate Google Assistant or Siri with a single touch.
Find it:
The App has another useful function which may prove invaluable to many who are constantly misplacing earbuds. Just use ‘find it’ and it will show the last location the Ultra Mini earbuds picked up signal and by pressing the ‘click to play’ button it will produce a noise to help find them.
Clear Voice:
‘Beam-forming’ technology is used to focus the four 4 built-in microphones which pick up more of the voice and less of the surrounding noise, making phone calls sound much clearer. Ideal in a noisy environment, a busy office or for a conference call from home.
Quick charging:
The Ultra Mini earbuds offer 6 hours of playtime on a single charge with the magnetic flip top case adding another 18 hours of charge totaling an impressive 24 hours.

The new Chipolo ONE Point and the Chipolo CARD Point are available for pre-order here with shipment after May 27th.And watch out for our reviews soon.
The packing is nice and come with Apple like peel tabs on the back which is kinda cool if you ask me and then the contents are revealed you get a plug inside and our review unit came with a US plug but it will be available with EU plugs.
Inside the box after we take the peel tabs off we get a three pack of heads which are all different then a braided cable which is proprietary of course and it does have a strong magnet to attach to the brush which is great to see.
The build of the toothbrush itself is solid and in line with other brands but feels more premium there is one button up top which allows you to change modes and power/on off etc but there is a controls on the app which is really neat it must be said you can see the screenshots below and of course in the video review at the end.
So you can either use the toothbrush soft touch buttons or the app to control it and I prefer to use the app as it is what I tend to do with tech and reviewing products but using the touch buttons is no different all works well and simple to use.
For me after using this for two weeks I can see a clear difference with this it is easily the best toothbrush I have tested out over the years with almost an immediate difference, I smoke and drink coke and often have stains and this lifts them almost straight away and faster results over others I have tried some double the price or more, the only thing is I would say be careful if on high intensity and the stem hits your teeth as it is strong and that is testament to how good the vibration is and how well this works, for the money I would easily pick this over an Oral B which is the main contender here in Ireland at multiple price points and some heading up to 800 euro or more this does the job end of story and I will stand over it and it is not often I would put my reputation on the line for a product especially at this price.
