Product Information

With this instax camera, you don’t have to choose between the joys of the digital age or the pleasure of analogue design.

When it comes to the menus and interface, there’s loads of shared DNA between this and the Instax Mini LiPlay, which is a bit simpler but also blends digital and instant photography. Adjust the crop, rotate, tweak the brightness, contrast and saturation, add a filter and then print your mini masterpiece directly from your smartphone. While the credit-card-sized Instax Mini prints aren’t the largest, they still offer a decent amount of detail and look nice when displayed.

But it was the first couple of months that I realized I like the uncertainty that comes with the instant film cameras, and having to pull the fake film lever when I decide whether I want the photo printed or not made me not wanting to pull it every single time. I finally did it, after months of waiting and after (almost) getting scammed I bought myself the instax mini evo. It’s got Bluetooth, built-in storage, a big LCD screen, a nice CMOS sensor, and a selfie mirror (admit it, you care about this). Many years ago Sony launched an ad campaign for their PlayStation 3 that utilized the slogan, “It Only Does Everything.

Photos taken and printed with your mini Evo can be saved as a photo with an instax frame onto your smartphone. With built-in Bluetooth, the mini Evo can transfer images in seconds for you to have your memories in the world as an iconic credit-card-sized print. You’ll need to dive into the menus to tinker with exposure compensation or use the self-timer, flash or macro mode. Thanks to the leather-like structured surface on the front and back, the 285 g camera should sit securely in your hand.

maximum aperture makes shooting in low light possible, and provides pleasing bokeh (the out-of-focus portion of a photo) with its 9-blade aperture design--ideal for dramatic portraits. Fundamentally, the camera allows the user to make the photos they want to make and print the photos they want to print – two things that aren’t necessarily the status quo in instant film photography. Analogue purists may baulk at its hybrid design, but it brings a host of practical benefits to the table that you simply won’t find on all-analogue alternatives.
