From The Verge: Fujifilm has announced a new hybrid instant camera coming to its Instax line that doubles as a smartphone printer. The new Instax Wide Evo Hybrid instant camera is similar to the Instax Mini Evo that Fujifilm launched in the US in 2022, but as its name implies, it instead uses Instax’s Wide format instant film that produces prints that are twice as wide.
The Instax Wide Evo will be available starting sometime in February 2025 for $349.95. It will launch alongside a matching black case for $49.99 that allows the camera to be used without removing it completely, and a new version of Fujifilm’s Instax Wide instant film featuring a brushed metallic border effect in a $24.99 10-pack.
In addition to being much larger than the Instax Mini Evo to accommodate the wider film stock, the new Instax Wide Evo features a 15.67mm lens, which is the widest used on any Instax camera to date. It allows you to snap wide-angle images to capture more of a scene, but it can also be turned off using a toggle switch if you prefer a closer crop.
