Like its predecessor, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instax.com\/mini_evo_2\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instax Mini Evo 2<\/a> feels less like a retro gimmick, and more like a basic digital camera that just happens to have a built-in printer. It also enjoys some key upgrades: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instax.com\/mini_evo_2\/en\/spec\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a larger 1\/2.77-inch sensor<\/a> compared to the 1\/5-inch sensor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/22989946\/fujifilm-instax-mini-evo-instant-camera-review-test-photography\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">on the first Mini Evo<\/a>, a bigger 4.5-inch rear display with touchscreen controls, and basic video recording too \u2014 though only the few seconds leading up to a photo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Video is limited in other ways compared to modern standards \u2014 the MP4 clips can only be saved to a microSD card (though there is internal storage for photos), no audio is recorded, and quality is limited to 560 \u00d7 992 pixels and 24FPS, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/the-fujifilm-instax-mini-evo-2-brings-big-upgrades-to-its-hybrid-instant-camera\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DPReview<\/a> \u2014 but it\u2019s still a feature we wouldn\u2019t expect to see on an instant camera. This is also Fujifilm\u2019s first Instax model to feature an LCD touchscreen, ditching the rear controls in favor of a larger display that takes up the entire back of the camera. Other physical controls have been preserved though, including two dials and a film-inspired print lever.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">You can use either the dials or touchscreen to access the 10 film and 10 lens effect options that were available on the first Instax Mini Evo, though the selection has changed slightly with this new model. There\u2019s also an Expanded View mode that \u201cgives users a wider field of view than the shooting area.\u201d The camera charges via USB-C, prints 2 x 3-inch Instax Mini format photos, and lets you adjust the exposure, white balance, and flash settings on your snaps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The Instax Mini Evo 2 will be available for $290 and goes on sale at the end of November. Black is the only available color option, but it still retains the classic retro look that\u2019ll probably <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/c\/24208960\/digicam-digital-camera-comeback-2004-gen-z-nikon-coolpix\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">land well with the youth market<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fujifilm is trying to find the right balance of fun and photography with its latest hybrid instant camera.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":658616,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9014,330,85,46,43,920,125],"class_list":["post-658615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-cameras","tag-gadgets","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news","tag-tech","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=658615"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658615\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/658616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=658615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=658615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=658615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
