Description

The Instax Mini Evo instant camera includes 10 integrated lenses and 10 film effects, giving photographers 100 possible combinations to choose from.

Plus, a microSD card slot lets users store images for later. The camera includes internal storage to hold about 45 images. You don't have to print every photo you take, nor does running out of Instax film mean you can't continue using the Mini Evo.
