      Yeah same, I’ve seen really nice and vivid style wide photos, it’s perfect for anything really but just gives you so much more room to express.

      It probably gets hate because as a digital camera, it's truly awful. Unless you are into photos that look like they were taken with an early 2000s cell phone. So you are basically paying $200 for an Instax mini? Pass. You can get a Instax mini for much cheaper. Or better yet, if you really want to make prints from digital, just get an Instax mini printer and print out photos from your smartphone. They will be much better quality than shots taken on the Evo. Returned my Evo after 2 days. Should have kept it and sold it for a profit to the hipsters paying twice the price for them now haha.

    I've been interested in film cameras for a while, but it's pretty intimidating to start it. The cost of film rolls, washing process, don't really know if the results will be good or not. The cost of washing film rolls is also pretty pricey in my country. So, this seems like a good alternative to start.

  • @krissjacobsen9434
    @krissjacobsen9434 Рік тому +38

    I belong to the group that don't like this approach. It looks super nice, but part of what makes instant cameras special to me is the "each shot is unique" thing, and that you get what you get. You can't just shoot 10 pictures and print the best. You have to immerse yourself more in the whole photography process to get the results you want.
    Now, this is of course me as an analog photo enthusiast talking. I know that most of the Instax users are young people wanting to share physical pictures with their friends and family. And in that case, this camera makes perfect sense. However, it would be fun if Fujifilm made a "professional" instax camera with a good lens. Instax film can hold a surprising amount of details that these plastic cameras never can do justice for.
    Anyway, nice review 👍

    • @museonfilm8919

    • @pixelzebra8440
      @pixelzebra8440 Рік тому +1

      I have a different type of instax camera and I still want this one so bad. Mine is one I’ve had for years and it has that what you take is what you get thing, so I can do that if I feel like it but I think if I get this camera I could also not have to worry about bringing my camera in order to get photos on film. It kinda ruins the moment imo when you’re over in the corner with flash you don’t know how to turn of and everyone gets scared every time you take a photo lol. With this one I could take photos I have on my phone and print them out onto film so I could have it years from now in case I lose the pictures on computer/phone for whatever reason. Also the thing where everyone can have a copy if they want is important to me.
      Being able to save pictures to print out later is amazing bc one time I brought my camera on a trip ready to take a bunch of photos only to realize it had broke and only had one film when it said 8. I only got one overexposed picture from the trip and it was so beautiful there 😭
      Also this is WAY smaller than the camera I have right now and could easily fit into my bag.
      All in all this seems like one of the best cameras I’ve seen imo because I don’t feel as though I NEED to print out the instantly. I think I might get the brown color after I save up some money

      I have an Instax Mini 11 and the thing for me is when I ask other people to take a picture of me (ofc I also need good pics of myself 😭) and even tho I already warn them about the sensitive shutter, they misclick and end up wasting the film or the photos are overexposed. Otherwise, I like analog too (when I use it)!

    This camera is awesome, i got it when it first came out because of the potential quick sell out on B&H. My only issue(s) ive logged since getting it is, i have noticed the sd card files are higher res than the wireless share files... a higher resolution sensor like maybe a 12 to 15 megapixel sensor would work way better. I wish i could control the shutter speed and / or the aperture... but thats asking too much for the price point.
    Thats really the only problem for me has been external shares of better looking "digital prints", the film in most cases is great by itself for most people.
    (Side note)
    I have the instax wide 300 camera for quick wedding photos...its dope too, and needs this camera's digital and wireless abilities.

The orginal price is 199.99 and you have to get it at best buy and get it fast because I've found one and checked 6hrs later it was out of stock. Then I went to Amazon for 219.99 it was worth it because it took about 5 days to come. Then you actually want it from Amazon themselves it's going to be 1to 2 months to ship.

    Btw I didn't have difficulty getting mine. But then again I got the last one from a store in my town. The only one that was left anywhere. So I was lucky. In Aus they're $299. But to be honest I think it's worth the price. Also you don't need to print the pictures off. You can plug your SD card into a computer and transfer them across and share them on social media that way to. I will be doing a bit of both. The main reason I got it was because I'm going overseas to the US in a couple of years with my sister. And I will be meeting my friend in person for the first time, I've been talking to her online for 15 years. She lives in Ohio. The camera will be awesome to be able to take a selfie with her and actually print it off and give it to her as a keepsake. I'm someone who does love 40+megapixels but on my phone. On a camera like the mini Evo I don't care as much because it has filters etc. In my perspective the next one they make, they need to make one with a view finder, and metal casing and not plastic.

    Instax 210 > Instax 90 > Instax EVO
    UNLESS!!! I’m going to be shooting a lot of people/in areas with lighting I’m not 100% on.
    It’s also SUPER approachable for people who aren’t instant film obsessed. Great with groups. Also bonus you can give a copy and still have a copy.
    Largest con for me is just the lack of depth/real look that my others have

    While it's not my favorite instant camera, or even Instax camera (a tie between the 500af and the MiNT TL70), and mostly because it DOES change the whole vibe of instant photography, what this EVO has become is a companion to my main digital Fujifilm camera, it actually lives in the same bag as it. Reason be is that it is fun to shoot with quickly whereas with my larger camera it's a whole "thing" with lens choice and such, and also I can print directly FROM my Fujifilm camera to it, so they actually have an interesting symbiotic relationship in case I want to fire out a print for a friend or just want to see a test print. I totally understand the more snooty response against it, and they're right in a lot of ways, but I also agree the EVO is a great gateway drug for someone used to cell phone photos to get into analog.

    Great Review! I'm probably going to buy it. I hear that actual Polaroid film is not nearly as reliable as Fuji right now. I saw a person yesterday who was shooting Fuji 90 and her photos were so tight! I know its a different product but this amazes me. Its not a dye-sub, it prints to actual emulsion film. Its just super awesome.

    A lot of camera for the money, as you get the best parts from the Instax mini and instant printer, pact into a camera that looks like the instax 40.
    The only negative I see with these hybrid cameras is that the experience of not knowing the result of one's photo disappears as you can plan all images so that none is a waste of film.

      Polaroid, Kodak and Canon have been making hybrid instant cameras for years now. The Polaroid Pop came out in 2017 and think a few others are even older. I really like my Pop. They use ZINK rather than Instax. Although a few of them (like the Kodak Mini Shot 3 Retro) use dye sublimation and look better than Instax IMO.

  • @michaelbell75

    Thanks! It's a shame this doesnt have the same functionality of my SQ10 where you can change the exposure, effects, add vignettes and all that after the photo has been taken. Not sure why Fuji did this but it's a huge step backwards IMO, as is the non removable battery of the SQ10. Will probably return or sell the Evo and just get a Mini printer.

    No problems finding these in stock in Ireland! I love mine! I shoot with a Sony A7R4 but I love that I can use this camera as a camera and a printer. Just for the pure joy of been able to watch the print develop and be able to take a photo from my smugmug account and send it via my phone to the camera and can print multiple prints of the same image and hand them to people is great.
    things I've noticed. The Black and White film I've tried was not good, it was splotchy and exposed unevenly as if something was wrong with it and the contrast and quality of the image was poor. I found it was better to print in Mono to the colour film.
    Also I paired the camera to my phone via blu-tooth and was using it without issue, however a co-worked asked to borrow the camera and when he tried to pair it do his phone the camera locked up and became unusable and I needed to hit the reset button, after that it started to give issues with internal menus during blutooth pairing and menus started to hang/freeze. Once paired back to the original phone it was less problematic.
    I'd love to see a tear-down video that shows how the Film is getting exposed when exiting the camera, is it a laser or strip light that exposes the image line by line as the film is passing it! or other questions.
