I am not being hyperbolic when I say Fujifilm’s Instax Mini Evo is the greatest instant camera ever made. Lens modes: Normal, Vignette, Soft Focus, Blur, Fisheye, Colour Shift, Light Leak, Mirror, Double Exposure, Half-frame

Overall, the Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo is the best realization yet of a hybrid Instax camera/printer device. It may not make the most sense for most people, but it's undeniably stylish to look at and lots of fun to use, both qualities that Instax fans will love. From the app you can perform a number of useful functions, including taking remote control of the camera (useful for selfies and group shots). It mimics the look of classic film cameras pretty well, with the faux leatherette coating both looking genuine from afar and also making it easier to grip than the smooth, shiny surface on the LiPlay. The textured coating is made from plastic, though, not true leather. The Instax LiPlay from 2019 offered a range of different effects which could be utilised for those who liked to get a bit creative, but the new Mini Evo takes things to another level by providing 100 different combinations from 10 integrated lens modes and 10 filter options.Use your smartphone to control the camera. Get your shot set up then release the camera shutter using your phone as a remote control. A shutter release button is also found on the front of the Instax Mini Evo, which feels slightly strange in use for those who are used to finding buttons in the more traditional place.

The Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo is a compact, “retro-styled,” 4.9-megapixel hybrid camera, an easy-to-use digital point-and-shooter and Instax analogue printer all in one. It allows you to shoot, modify and print images in seconds, on the fly. And it’s fun. So get over it. The Mini Evo is an incredibly enjoyable camera to use. It powers up almost instantly, offers a simple point-and-shoot interface and features a range of creative options through its various filters.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 Instax Mini Evo app can be used for remote shooting (with live view), editing photos before printing, and transferring photos from the camera to your phone. Raymond Wong / Input
