Instax camera's use proprietary film developed by Fujifilm. This is fine as it is in their instant print, non-digital lines, as users are purchasing these devices to print instantly after taking a picture, this is typical for the class of product.

However, in the digital print cameras, the Fujifilm Instax Evo line of products, the device is anti-consumer in the following aspects:
- Lower quality print when printing via phone app:
- Direct Camera Print: 1600x600 dots (25 dots per millimeter)
- App Print: 800x600 dots (12.5 dots per millimeter)
- Cannot print pictures user puts in the SD card, they must be converted to 'little endian' and have their exif data changed to a specific form, as well as specific resolution.
- Cannot save photos from the camera to mobile phone unless the picture was printed (or use of SD card), this locks saving pictures behind a paywall of 1 printed photo (~1$ per print).
This Evo line of cameras has these issues that could be remedied with little effort from the manufacturer, though they refuse despite this issue being raised repeatedly by consumers.
