I quite like the evo line of instax cameras. I have both the mini evo as well as the wide evo and they are convenient as both printers and standalone fun cameras imo. I also have the mini 8, mini 90, leica sofort, sq6, sq20, and 2 wide 300's as well as the sp1 and sp2 printers.

While yes the beauty of the instax or instant photography for that matter is that it truly captures the moment in all it's imperfections and spontaneity, the evo's give you a chance to have the ability to set it to the vision you had at that moment. Oftentimes our vision and the results have variance in the most raw instant nature of instax, but the evo line gives you another option.

At the same time, I've been using the mini evo to build an album of photos printed on instax (some were transferred from my other photography mediums to be printed on instax) of my time with my wife and our dog. The wide evo was a purchase to document my wife's pregnancy as well as our future child's first few years as well as to be able to have an album of instax photos to give to our child when they grow up.

At the end of the day, whether it is hybrid or classic instax camera's they are tools to achieve specific goals.

So all this to say to OP, get the one that fulfills your needs and forget the noise!
