Fujifilm’s brand identity blends vintage body designs with the latest digital photography technology. Popular releases such as the Fujifilm XT-5 combine chunky and highly tactile camera bodies with state-of-the-art image processing and features, giving photographers the best of both worlds. The new Fujifilm Instax Wide Evo camera continues the manufacturer’s approach to retro-inspired design, delivering a hybrid camera that recalls the pocket-sized instant cameras of yesteryear with a modern spin.

On the exterior, the Fujifilm Instax Wide Evo is housed in a faux-leather casing with a selection of responsive buttons and dials. Its design takes its cue from the analog cameras of yesteryear. Likewise, the instant printing feature recalls the popular classic instant cameras of the past, notably the Polaroid series.

Photography performance is delivered through the 35mm equivalent 16mm f2.4 aperture lens, which has rapid autofocus and an impressive shutter speed range for low-light shooting. Thanks to the built-in lithium battery, it can print up to 100 318 DPI images on a single charge, using a hand-controlled print crank to elevate the retro experience.

In addition to the printing option and access to a range of film simulation styles, including Cinematic and Film Strip, the Fujifilm Instax Wide Evo is also well-served regarding online connectivity and functionality. Images shot on smartphones can be sent to the device for printing, and the instax WIDE Evo™ Smartphone App provides access to numerous additional settings and effects.

Casual and serious photographers looking for a fun and affordable instant camera experience can get their on-the-go creative fix with the Fujifilm Instax Wide Evo.
