Instax Mini Camera

We bought a Fujifilm instax 9 mini camera for our daughters birthday in January 2020 for R1500. In March 2021 the camera stopped working. We took it back to the store where we bought it, they sent it in and we have been told that it can’t be fixed because it’s out of warranty and there are no parts available and we must buy the new model!!! Seriously! It’s like buying a new car and a year and half later they can’t get parts and you need to buy a new car! What a load of BS! Do not buy any Instax mini cameras!
