Thank you ...I'm 70 yrs old now and want prints again . I remember seeing the first prints from a very early Polaroid Land Camera . It's still magic and a wonderful gift to share with others .
Dear Fuji .. please keep film prices as low as possible.
Thanks for a great review .

This is why I love photography. As Chris says, it's all about capturing the moment. It's still a lot of fun looking at printed photos again and again and being excited to see the next one in the box or in an album. I remember as a child, we sometimes had photo-album days on rainy days. We would get all the pictures out of the drawer and we would just have a look at the pictures and laugh etc. It was really cosy and we all liked it.

I picked up one of these for my wife in February, and this one's an absolute hit. At this point all her friends want one as well, but a mix of hype/popularity and supply chain issues means it's pretty much sold out at most major retailers that carry it. One of the best things about it is the ability to print multiple of the same shot since the shot gets saved to storage.

I can’t tell you enough how much I admire Fujifilm.

People are right though. If they just made a few more better, strategic business move they could CRUSH everyone else.

I got my kids started in photography shooting Instax cameras, this takes it one step further in conserving shots if they can choose which images they can print. Thanks for putting the time for this review, and great to see you are doing well health wise.

“Why do we take photos? I don’t know, but I’m glad that they are there.”

What a poem!

Wow. Every question I had has been answered very clearly. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Comprehensive without being overwhelming. Love this channel! Thank you!

[ebouwens]

I just got my mini evo a week ago and the photos that I give to people bring more smiles than my expertly edited portraits. I see this as the perfect ice breaker, the perfect travel street portrait camera when you need to gain trust.

[GoranSlika]

Hit the nail on the head with both the intro and final segment about what it's all about

[VahnWyrde]

The short clip near the end with you and your kid having a bonding time... It was nice.

[InnaBalabon]

That’s the best video I could find about this camera. Thank you for making it easy to understand how to use the camera!

[di_calucer]

This is soooo far the best review and demo I watched for Instax Mini Evo. There are a lot of features/functionalities I've discovered from watching this that I didn't see from other videos. This helped so much for me to decide whether I'll get myself one for Christmas. And Yes! I'll get one! 😂

[bloomylicious]

At least there's one working Fujifilm app! That being said, I got the Fujifilm wide printer for Christmas and have been using the app with that and it hasn't been too bad. Bit addicted to "printing" photos out now, been giving them as gifts to friends and family. There's something so different about holding a picture then looking at it on your phone. It's really helped solidify some of my memories of these last few pandemic years too, having printed off photos of some of the few social events we have been able to enjoy in this time. Great to see you feeling better, thanks for everything you do for the Fujifilm community and photography community in general.

[monkeybegood]

the fact you took a 1977 polaroid camera and blew a photo for this video is worth the subscription alone. thorough and great content! sub.

[maqqi]

I really love your last words. People often drift out of the moment and you summed it up perfectly. Thank your very much for this.

[korolishka]

As a photographer, I really find your recomendation of editing photos in Lightroom so exciting and useful! When I used instax 11 i said this is one of the most awful cameras i've ever tried to, but instax mini evo has a lot more good features, than i've expected to. Thank you for this video!!!

[rdog]

This is fantastic I love the idea of this camera and I've been waiting for it to come out. I do own the wide Instax printer that has in my opinion better picture quality. But I love what Fuji is doing with this format and instant film. And I agree with your comments 100% that the world is ready to take a step back and enjoy being in the moment and not needing things so digital or instantaneous. This is a perfect companion for that thought process. By the way when I bring my Instax printer to a family gatherings, we can’t get enough of it. The kids love it!

[rafaellandaeta]

Away from the complete info that you gave in this video (which I thank you very much) I Got to say that the way you make your videos, reflects the love you have for photography, and the fact that you do it so well, make that good energy be contagious for those who see you!

Thank you very much for your good vibes! Keep it up!

[lucabellomo]

You know what Chris….the best part of your review, were all your boxes full of memories.
Enough of digital files, prints will be always the best thing to have. You have a beautiful family Chris 🙂 …I am working on mine too 😊 cheers from Italy

[gnuhapi]

After I bought my M-10, I swore, "No more cameras!" And now you've planted a seed (need) I have to suppress. Glad you're back and I enjoyed the vid.
