Japanese photography brand Fujifilm has released the Instax Mini Evo, a new digital camera that allows users to print their shots on Instax Mini film. The hybrid unit features a retro build with top-mounted dials and a levered print control function.

Like the brand's other instant digital cameras, the Instax Mini Evo comes with a 3-inch LCD screen that can be used to frame shots before printing. In addition, the camera features ten different lens modes with ten filter options allowing for a total of 100 possible combinations. Adding to the camera's hybrid functionality, users can connect the Instax Mini Evo to a smartphone app where they can transfer images to their phone through Bluetooth.
