"Fujifilm just revealed the Instax mini Evo Cinema camera, which looks suspiciously like a vintage Super 8. More specifically, it was designed to mimic the Single-8 from 1965, which was a rival unit to the Super 8. Fujifilm's latest device captures video, just like its retro inspiration. However, this is an Instax and the line has primarily been dedicated to snapping and printing out still images on the fly. The Evo Cinema can still do that, albeit in a slightly different way."
"Users shoot a video and the camera can convert a shot from the footage into an Instax print. That's pretty cool. The bad news? It requires some kind of QR code tomfoolery. The camera also comes equipped with something called the Eras Dial, which has nothing to do with Taylor Swift and everything to do with adjusting various effects and filters to create footage "inspired by different eras." There are ten "eras" to choose from, including a 1960s vibe. The filter levels here are adjustable."
Fujifilm's Instax mini Evo Cinema adopts a retro Super 8–style design while recording video. The camera can extract individual frames from captured footage and produce Instax prints using a QR-code conversion process. An Eras Dial provides ten selectable era-inspired looks with adjustable filter intensity, including a 1960s vibe. The Evo Cinema launches in Japan on January 30 with pricing not yet announced. The model follows other recent Instax releases, including a variant featuring a secondary camera for selfies.
