First – many thanks to Amazon. This is the fourth instant camera I’ve tried, all purchased through Amazon. And it is the one I’m keeping (the other three were the Instax 99 and the Kodak Minishot 2 & 3).There is an App available to use with the camera (through Bluetooth) but I’ve used the camera on its own, working on the principle that I want the camera to be able to do what I want through its own functionality.The EVO isn’t cheap, and it isn’t purely an instant camera. Fuji describe it as a hybrid, that offers the functionality of an instant camera with that of a digital one. The camera has the capability to save up to 45 images onboard but it also has an SD card slot which allows you to save more as well as the ability to transfer them to a computer.It has a robust body build with a nice retro feel right down to the lever for printing and again is reminiscent of the old instamatics. Its available in black or brown body and has a good quality LCD screen (3” TFT) on the back which allows you to clearly see your images before printing. It has ten lens effects (colour leak, vignette, fish eye, etc) all accessible from the lens dial and ten image effects (sepia, monochrome, blur, canvas, etc) accessible from a top dial. These can be combined to give 100 options and up to three favourite combinations can be saved, recalled at the press of one of the function buttons on the back of the camera. The camera has a focal length of 10cm to infinity, has a good exposure control, using the LCD screen so you can determine the correct setting to suit the conditions and white balance. It feels slightly slower when printing than the Instax 99 but that’s a minor quibble.Don’t expect the image quality to be the equal of a top end DSLR, but it is good and the ability to clearly review your images prior to printing prevents wasted paper. And the effects options make it fun camera to use.The instruction manual proudly proclaims the camera as having the best image quality in the history of Instax cameras (as of December 2021). Its definitely superior to the Kodak models (both cheaper by a long stretch) and value & performance wise is way better than the Instax 99. And highly recommended.13/05/24 update - the lens ring has come off and will not go back on.03/07/24 update - I bought a replacement (once refunded) and I have had no problems with the camera. Still a 5 star rating.I would advise anyone looking for a case for the camera to buy the official Fuji option rather than any of the other (slightly cheaper) options. The Fuji case is a comfortable fit unlike the others which are very tight on the effects ring (and may have caused the damage to my original purchase)

Definitely recommend this camera if your main goal is to have the printed photos. The quality definitely isn’t as good as a camera designated for just taking pictures but it’s perfect if you like to have a physical copy of your pictures and don’t want to waste film on photos that don’t turn out well. Camera quality is still good but you need to play around a bit with the settings.Internal storage is 40 or 45 pictures but you can add a micro sd card for more storage. It’s also great as it doubles as a printer for any photos you want to transfer from your phone via the instax evo app.

Fell in love with photography again.I purchased this to get physical copies of memorable moments I spend with family and friends but also in my other work related ventures.Since the advent of smartphones our pictures just live digitally in our phones. Now i now i can print at anytime andthe image file size being so small mean I don't worry about what to shoot and can just pick the best photo to print on demand.I take it everywhere and it's so much fun to use with the various filters and lens effects. the retro look makes it the best looking camera of all instant cameras out there.

For the money I would have expected is to be a bit more substantial in the hand, and to come with at least 5 or so sheets of photo paper. Other than that, its built well enough to do the job, and it's just about pocket size, but I guess it has to be on the large size in order to take the paper. By the time you've added a lens cap and some paper, you're creeping up to Lieca sofort territory.

Wide EvoThere are two print modes: natural and rich. I liked natural better, it's kinda like an old film camera. The camera zooms, but the pics get really blurry if you zoom and print 'em. You can tell the resolution's lower. The app's fun and easy to use for printing. But, compared to a real instant camera, it still looks a bit digital.

The best way to keep my memories. Very easy to use and the quality is great too.
