#hybrid camera

Fujifilm has introduced the instax mini Evo Cinema, a new hybrid instant camera that blends photography, short-form video, and instant printing into a single creative tool. At the heart of the camera is the new Gen Dial™, a first for instax cameras, which applies visual styles inspired by 10 different eras from the grainy tones of the 1930s to the bold colors of the 1980s and the crisp look of the 2020s. In Cine mode, the camera automatically stitches clips into a single smooth video, while a built-in digital zoom lever offers more creative control over framing. The camera also supports video printing, generating instax mini prints embedded with QR codes that link back to playable video clips on a smartphone, with content stored securely for up to 24 months. The instax mini Evo Cinema features a retro-inspired design reminiscent of classic 8mm film cameras, paired with modern conveniences such as a 1.54-inch LCD screen, selfie mirror, self-timer, integrated flash, USB-C charging, and microSD card support. The instax mini Evo Cinema hybrid instant camera is set to arrive in early February 2026, priced at $409.95 USD and $479.99 CAD.
