With this instax camera, you don’t have to choose between the joys of the digital age or the pleasure of analogue design. The mini Evo combines both into a hybrid digital camera that encompasses your passions. Taking inspiration from Fujifilm’s X Series of mirrorless cameras, the Instax Mini Evo blends killer old-school design aesthetics with modern digital tech. Pairing a digital sensor with an Instax printer – with plenty of creative filters thrown in for good measure – the Mini Evo aims to offer all the fun of instant photography without any of the traditional unpredictability issues.

The filters and color looks are a big part of the experience. You can swap between retro, mirrored, double exposure, soft focus, fish-eye, and other creative lenses to spice up your photos. I especially like the light leak filter; it adds a bit of colorful flare and simulates the look of a camera that isn't quite light-proof. You get ten color options and ten filters in total—you can mix and match them together for up to 100 different in-camera creative looks. The mirror filter splits the frame in half with a mirrored reflection effect—it's a good tool to get creative shots with perfect symmetry (Photo: Jim Fisher)Express your creativity with the Fujifilm instax mini Evo. This hybrid camera and smartphone printer invites those with a passion for analogue and digital to share their story. With over 100 ways of expression, the instax mini Evo hybrid camera brings what you love to life – instantly. It’s fully automatic in operation and is a simple point-and-shoot affair, but it does offer the ability to tweak your exposure compensation, set your autofocus point, toggle the flash control, set a self timer and add a range of creative effects. With a faux leather and chrome look inspired by an old rangefinder camera, the Evo Mini is undeniably stylish. The construction is almost entirely plastic, so it doesn't feel as premium as it looks, yet is reassuringly weighty to hold. The instax mini Evo uses a 28mm f2 lens, this gives you a wide-angle that gets everyone in the shot. Snap subjects as close as 10cm all the way to infinity.

Shooting with the Instax Mini Evo is, by far, a lot more fun than any Instax camera — I'm not exaggerating when I say I've tried them all and own many of them. (I might have a small addiction; there are worse vices.) Approximately 16 seconds. When using instax-Rich Mode immediately after startup printing may take an additional 7 seconds. What film does the Fujifilm instax mini Evo use?

Lens modes: Normal, Vignette, Soft Focus, Blur, Fisheye, Colour Shift, Light Leak, Mirror, Double Exposure, Half-frame The front of the camera is rather sparse, with a power switch, shutter button and small selfie mirror surrounding the lens barrel, which can be twisted to cycle between lens modes. Your feelings about the Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo may say more about you as a photographer than about the Evo itself. Casual snappers are more likely to forgive the rather clumsy controls, while photographers who typically use high-quality interchangeable lens cameras may take more issue. We'd love to see a more polished take on this concept with a better display and a built-in optical viewfinder. Image quality isn't anything to write home about—the Mini Evo's 1/5-inch CMOS sensor matches up with budget smartphones, not flagships. It snaps 5MP photos, good enough for Mini prints and social shares, but not much else. Recent Samsung Galaxy phones and iPhones offer much more capable camera experiences. But the filters and color profiles are a boon for creators, and wireless connectivity allows you to print photos from your phone's camera roll. It’s not without its limitations: it’s unapologetically an instant camera first so if you primarily want to shoot digital images, you’ll be better served by your smartphone. Fujifilm’s decision to limit the app’s shareable images to those you’ve physically printed is also a real annoyance.

Smartphone integration is also underwhelming. You lose access to any creative looks when you use it as a remote control, and the app limits you to transferring only those photos you have already printed, a restriction that's unfriendly to the consumer and totally unnecessary. Going the other direction—printing photos from your phone—works just fine. You can toggle the flash, dial in up to two stops of exposure and view the finished shot before committing to a print. Additionally, you’re able to print multiple copies of the same shot and even continue shooting should you run out of film. Instantly print the images you take or send them over to your smartphone for sharing on social media. The choice is up to you.As well as an image capture device, the Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo can also act as a standalone mini printer, connectable to our smartphones via Bluetooth, meaning that photos transmitted from our phone’s camera roll can be output as hard copies. It also means that shots can be transferred the other way from the Mini Evo to our smartphone for sharing on social media or with friends and family. Truly its maker seems to be attempting to cover all bases and user requests with this one. Use your smartphone to control the camera. Get your shot set up then release the camera shutter using your phone as a remote control.

Instax shots use chemistry, not thermal paper like rival format Zink. The resulting image is wallet-sized (1.8 by 2.4 inches of image area), with a glossy finish and colors that pop with saturation and contrast. In comparison, Zink prints struggle to show certain tones, especially pinks and magentas, and suffers from heavy dithering all over. Is the Instax Mini Evo the Digital Instant for You?

That said, in activating the camera for the first time via the commendably tactile on/off lever on the faceplate, we’re met with an almost overwhelming array of on-screen options, which meant that it took us a couple of minutes to work out how we could cut through all that and simply capture and output a photo. It should, after all, be as simple as pointing and shooting, as on competing purely analogue models from Fuji and others. Printed pictures can be saved as images with an instax frame on your Smartphone. Share your favorite shot on social media! You're limited in what images you can send to your smartphone—the Mini Evo only sends photos that have already been printed via Bluetooth Instax prints have an iconic quality to them and the mini Evo is no different. Whether you opt for ‘instax-Natural Mode’ for conventional image quality or ‘instax-Rich Mode’ for vibrant colours. Change how you express yourself in every image.The wide-angle lens is good enough for shots of one or two people together—its 28mm angle is just a little narrower than the main lens on most smartphones. It's fairly bright too, with a fixed f/2 aperture, but the Evo still relies on its built-in flash for photos in typical home lighting. The flash is an LED, like the one on smartphones, but offers a bit of soft diffusion and better reach than bare smartphone lenses because of its fresnel surface finish.
