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).
