GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Premium Instant Photography & Creative Enthusiasts — Instax Wide Evo (2024): The premium instant camera. Wide-format prints with digital preview and 100 effects — the most capable Instax camera ever made.
Compact Street & Travel Photography — X-E4 (2021): The X-E4 is for photographers who want the minimum camera that still delivers maximum image quality. If you love shooting from the rear screen and want the smallest possible X-mount body, this is your camera. If you need a viewfinder or IBIS, look at the X-S20 or X-T30 II.
