The Instax Wide Evo will be available starting February 2025 for $349.95. It will launch alongside a matching black case for $49.99 that allows the camera to be used without completely removing it, and a new version of Fujifilm Instax Wide instant film featuring a brushed metal border effect in a pack of 10 for $24.99.
In addition to being much larger than the Instax Mini Evo to accommodate wider film stocks, the new Instax Wide Evo features a 15.67mm lens, the widest of any Instax camera to date. It allows you to take wide-angle photos to capture more of the scene, but can also be turned off with a toggle switch if you prefer a closer crop.
There’s no viewfinder, but the back of the camera has a 3.5-inch LCD screen for framing shots as well as navigating menus for effects, settings, and image editing. On the front of the camera, a small mirror can be used to frame selfies. Fujifilm says the Instax Wide Evo’s battery has enough charge to print up to 100 photos, and there’s a microSD card slot to boost the camera’s storage capacity. Its internal memory out of the box can only hold about 45 images.
Like the Instax Mini Evo, the new Instax Wide Evo offers 10 lens effects and 10 film effects that can be combined (only two at a time) for a wider range of creativity. The intensity of effects can also be adjusted using the tone control, which is controlled by a ring on the lens. Dials on either side of the camera allow you to scroll through different lens and film effects.
For photographers with a little film nostalgia, the Instax Wide Evo also offers five additional Film Style customizations that add effects like film strip openings, an “old contact paper look,” or an overlaid date and time in the corner of the image. The camera also has a small crank with a pop-up handle – similar to what film cameras use to increase exposures – which is instead used to initiate printing.
The Instax Wide Evo can also be used as a printer when connected wirelessly via Bluetooth to a smartphone running the free iOS or Android mobile app. You can print photos from your phone’s camera roll, or use your smartphone as a wireless remote for the Instax Wide Evo, letting you join group shots without the need for a timer. The app also has a Discover Feed that features photos from other users, and lets you share your own photos if you’re looking for another social media solution.
