The Nikon ZR, GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS and Instax Mini Evo Cinema all earned a spot, but our reviews and hands-on time tell a slightly different story than Time’s.

This week, Time published its list of the Best Inventions of 2026, and three cameras were among the 300 honorees: the Nikon ZR, the GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS and the Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo Cinema. According to Time, it gathers nominations from its editors and correspondents as well as through an online application process – meaning companies can nominate their own products – then evaluates each nominee based on “originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact.” But its write-ups on each product are very brief.
We’ve covered all three of these cameras since they were announced, so here’s what our experience with them adds to the picture – including where we might disagree with Time’s editors.

The Nikon ZR is Nikon’s inaugural take on a video-first body, and the company’s first camera to carry both Nikon and Red branding. Under the hood, it’s essentially a Z6III without the viewfinder or mechanical shutter, but with a boxy body that sports a 4″, 1000-nit screen, internal 32-bit float audio and Red’s R3D (NE) Raw codec at up to 6K/60p. And at $2,199, its launch price landed $500 below the Z6III’s.
Time pitches the ZR (or, as it calls it, the “Nikon RED ZR”) as a tool for emerging cinematographers, but our take is slightly different. Despite the Red branding, the ZR has more in common with creator-focused cameras like the Sony ZV-E1 and Panasonic S9 than with cinema cameras like the Sony FX3. That’s not a criticism: our review found it to be one of the best vlogging cameras we’ve tested, earning it a Gold award. That said, we’d steer photographers away from it entirely, no matter how much they fall in love with the camera’s looks.

The Mission 1 Pro ILS is GoPro’s first interchangeable-lens camera. It’s essentially a Mission 1 Pro, with the same 50MP Type 1 sensor and 8K/60p capture, but with a Micro Four Thirds mount where the fixed wide-angle lens would be. And at $700, it’s an inexpensive entry point to 8K open gate and 4K/240p slow-motion video.
Time’s article cites a GoPro product manager who imagines the same camera “careening down a mountain” and capturing valley flowers après-ski, but our experience with the camera points to a more specialized audience. The lens mount has no electronic contacts, meaning there’s no autofocus, and it can’t drive the focus-by-wire or electronic apertures found in most Micro Four Thirds lenses. Pulling focus by hand on a 2.59″ screen is no easy feat – especially while careening down a mountain.
As we noted in our earlier coverage, this is a cinema tool built for rigs and crews, not a take-everywhere pocket camera, and GoPro’s recent beta firmware, which adds anamorphic support, reinforces that.

The Instax Mini Evo Cinema is Fujifilm’s first Instax camera to shoot video. With a design reminiscent of Fujifilm’s 1960s Fujica Single-8 cine camera, it captures stills and 15-second clips, prints on Instax Mini film, and can print a frame from a video clip with a QR code that plays the video back on a phone. The camera’s “Gen Dial” applies effects inspired by ten different eras, ranging from the grainy 1930s to the modern look of the 2020s.
Time says the camera offers “oodles of analog charm in a digital friendly package.” On paper, though, it’s a tougher sell, which is why we called it divisive when it launched. It’s built around a tiny 5MP Type 1/5 sensor – smaller than those in even budget smartphones. Most of its video modes top out at 800×600 pixels, and the video “memory” in each print isn’t permanent; Fujifilm only stores clips for 24 months, so you’ll want to download them. And then there’s the price: at $410 before you even buy film, it feels like an indulgence.
When our team went hands-on with the camera, the takeaway was that it’s a fun device, built around nostalgic looks, and that one of its core appeals was transforming digital clips into keepsakes using QR-coded prints. It’s a camera you buy for the experience, not the image quality.
All three are innovative takes on what a camera can be, and it’s nice to see companies experimenting with different camera formats. However, if one of these catches your eye, just make sure it’s built for the way you actually shoot.
