Leica Sofort 2 White 19188 film camera

Hybrid instant and digital camera

The Leica Sofort 2 model 19188 combines instant film printing with digital capture in a single white body. A 2.4 mm f/2 lens and a 1/5" CMOS sensor produce 4.9MP images that can be saved to a microSD card or the internal memory holding about 45 photos. A 3" TFT LCD lets you review shots before you print, and Bluetooth connects the camera to the Leica Fotos app for remote control and selective printing from a smartphone gallery.

For creators who want instant prints

Travellers, bloggers and everyday photographers who value a wide 28mm-equivalent view, built-in creative modes such as double exposure and fisheye, and a front-facing release button for easy selfies will find the feature set matches their workflow. Buyers who only need a pure analogue instant camera without digital storage or app connectivity should look at a simpler model, and anyone requiring interchangeable lenses or a larger sensor format will need a different system.

Check film format and power before ordering

The camera uses Leica colour instant film packs in neo gold or warm white, so confirm you have access to that specific film type. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery is built in; verify you can charge it via the supplied method on your trip or at home. Ensure you have a microSD card if you plan to store more than the internal capacity allows, and that your smartphone runs a compatible version of the Leica Fotos app for wireless transfer and remote shooting.
