Gone are the days when the instant camera market was just hipsters finding their parents' old Polaroid. It is now peppered with hybrid instant cameras, like the Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo, which offer the functionality of a traditional camera and an instant printer in one. That is the blueprint on which the Leica Sofort 2 is built.

So, what does that £350 get you in the world of instant cameras? Well, a fair bit, actually. As mentioned, the Sofort 2 is a hybrid camera. That means you get a digital sensor on the front, with internal memory and a printer all in one box. The internal memory can store around 45 images, while a 1GB microSD card would allow for around 850 to be kept secure. Those can then be printed at will, from the playback section of the device.
