How long does the battery last? Mine turns red for about an hour of use 😢

I almost bought one. But the setup of: Pretty bad Digi Cam with a portable printer (that sadly only prints in worse resolution if you want to print pictures made on another device) threw me off. I have a Canon Selphy printer. Printing normal format pictures or credit card size (similar to Instax Mini) is just as easy and the quality is better. You just have to be able to contain yourself and print when your're back home. I do hope that Instax will come out with the rumored Instax Mini 99, the successor to the 90, soon. Somehow I want the real analog deal when it comes to Instant Phorography. And I really hope they'll ad a better lens. I don't know why Instax and Polaroid willfully go with bad lenses when they could just as easily invest 20-30 bucks more for a better lens.

Thanks for your comment. Yeah, I completely understand what you're talking about. The lens is actually a pretty good lens. There's nothing really wrong with it that I can tell. As far as why Polaroid and other instant camera manufacturers go with crappy lenses, it has to do with resolving detail. I've done a whole video on it. Anyway, mint camera, Fujifilm, and even lomography do their best to make a good camera with a good lens. You can see that and their glass lens offerings. However many times the lens is polycarbonate, plastic, because of the specific need to have fewer a spherical elements. So they have to bend the lens more. This is something easy to do with plastic, but harder to do with glass. And don't forget, your prescription glasses if you wear them are made out of... You guessed it polycarbonate. So there's nothing wrong with polycarbonate. It just has to be a good lens. The lens in the Fujifilm is glass. I did a video about it a long time ago. Many people think the lens is the big piece of clear material on the front of the camera. That's not the lens. That's the lens protector. The glass is that little tiny speck in the center that you think is the hole. That's not just the whole, the aperture for the camera, it's also the limbs. It's how the system on a chip module is made. The low quality images comes from the sensor. I did a whole video on that too. And what I was trying to share here is that although my original concern 2 years ago had a lot to do with the sensor, not as much of that was as true as I thought it was at the time. Does that make sense? For example this thing prints beautiful pictures. Now I just showed everything scrolling on the screen for the unique look of it. The screen may show pixelation. But that's also something I talked about in the video. You don't see any of that on the print because of the analog development process. I think you got that because you were talking about printing on external sources. And that's where the old sensor has an issue. That and the file size and type. And you're right, printing images as big as a selfie printer would print, 4x6, results in a pretty ugly picture in my opinion. Printing larger is no fun either. Like you, I hope for some upgrade. Good luck!

@@RobertHamm Hey, thanks so much for taking time to explain this to me at length! That cleared a lot of things up for me. I am guilty of only having superficial knowledge on why they use, what they use ;) That info on the use of "plastic" for lenses is interesting, because I wondered why Fujifilm won't upgrade the specs, as they are delivering good products throughout. The Evo really is a great product that combines a lot of needs in one. And its easy to criticize some decisions or choices in the whole product. They really did a lot to help out customers with the burden of film prices with this one. And yes, I got your main point at the end of the video and here in your comment, that no one should mistake it for a "real camera" for standard size pictures/prints. I'm a student and thats why I decided on the selphy printer, to still make fun prints out of smartphone pictures I took and also being able to make larger prints. It just made more sense financially to me. I really like the resurgance of analog photography and I think Instant photography can play a bigger part in that. Giving people the opportunity to take analog pictures without the hassle of getting them developed, scanned and printed has opportunities that I think haven't fully been taken advantage of. But I get that Instant photograpy is a niche in the niche of analog photography. And by now we have to be happy that Fujifilm and Polaroid still keep this market alive.

@lelandfitz1762 - I have a solution for the printing in worse resolution if from another camera problem. Because I hate going through the app, I put the images I want to print onto the evo's memory card directly at my desktop computer. They HAVE to use the evo's file naming logic (DSCF****.jpg), you can use ANY 4-digit number still free in your current run through 10k. Pick the ones immediately following the currently active one though, because next time you use the evo as camera, it continues counting from the highest number it "knows". The images also HAVE to be in exactly 1920x2560px, which is what the evo naturally does. Smaller is okay but not the point here. Larger nets you a file reading error next time you start up the evo. Oh, and the images you load onto the memory card HAVE to be in portrait orientation. If you give it a landscape one, the print will be only the middle third - as portrait. If you want landscape prints, you have to rotate the image BEFORE copying it onto the memory card. Also, this rotation must be done in a proper editing software (Photoshop, etc.). For some reason the rotation doesn't take (in/for the evo) if you do it via the photo viewer supplied by windows. Something in the meta data I expect. So, with a bit of fiddling, you can trick the evo into treating alien files like its own. Since I don't have a smartphone and use my tablet mostly for games, this workflow is actually more natural for me than going through the app...

Do the printed pictures last or the images get blurry as time goes on?
