LEICA SOFORT 2 | THE NEW BEST INSTANT CAMERA? 

😊😉

I hear ya! 😉

Yes basically. They made this camera on collaboration so yes very similar

@@cris_photographybut we can’t use the Instax film on the Leica right? Anyway very nice video!

​@@edmonlee9311yeah

@@edmonlee9311I just watched another review where they did load and use Instax film just fine. I did see they offer their own film, but it would be odd to not be able to use Instax with it being a collaboration.

​@@edmonlee9311i think it suports

Excellent idea!

Awesome!

Exactly 👍🏼 however as I said this is a collaboration - not a copy. They worked on it together with Fuji and the finishing, looks and feel is much more premium. It is plastic like the evo, same features and same everything otherwise (again, same because it’s a collaboration). The price is not the same though 😅 take care

Yeah, it’s a collab. We know.

Awesome! And great use of this camera 😉

😉

Thanks for the extra points brought up 👍🏼 and yes, a lot of fun!

Both colors are amazing indeed! Honestly don’t think you’ll need to charge it while using it. You can shoot over 100 photos on one charge (that’s a lot) and maybe even more. Takes 2.5 hours to charge fully. Didn’t try though so can’t tell sorry. Take care

Hey there, thanks. Honestly it really comes down to personal preferences but I personally love the flexibility this new camera offers. Take care

Hello, it was a collaboration with Fujifilm so it’s about the same other than like you said the shell and the lens. So don’t think it’d be worth it. Cheers

@@Jimizell There have been type-c port versions since this june tho

Hello 👋🏼 only automatic mode (very simple shooting) cheers 😉

😁😉

Hello! Thanks. It ain't a bad point on my review for a couple reasons: a) the battery can be changed if sent back to Leica b) I have had cameras like this one for years (over 10) and am still using the original battery. That means that by the time the battery cannot be used anymore (and we're not talking an SL2 or any other high performance camera here) the camera might become obsolete and/or am sure you can find someone that will replace it (it's kinda like looking at the batteries we currently use on any camera and thinking that in a few years from now they won't be produced anymore anyway - know what I mean?) It's the same as for the Fuji Evo, with the difference that the Leica version costs more than double. Take care

Thanks for the input

Hello 👋🏼 yep you can and that’s what I used on the video in fact 😉

@@cris_photography thanks

Well - not everyone agrees I guess

No you can use it as a regular camera even without film. Of course if you want to print you’ll need film but otherwise you cans still save the photos internally or on a memory card.

@@cris_photography thanks cool

Thanks for sharing the info - didn't know that! I havent used it long enough to see those issues but I guess time will tell. Regarding the front lens, you can do that on the Sofort 2 as well (same as the Evo). Take care!

@@cris_photography Cool beans man - have a good one

Same camera internally = same issues

It’s like in the thumbnail - super red 😁 that’s my color grading

Thanks a lot! Yes it is blood red 😁 it’s just my personal color grading that makes it orange but if you look at the thumbnail (or the section about the body color) you can see the type of red 😅 great little camera am sure you going to enjoy it! Cheers all the way to Canada 🇨🇦

Wish they had it in orange!

I used a 16gb memory card. On their website they mean to say that you can store approx 850 images on a 1GB card but I used larger ones. Cheers

TRÈS similaire

@@cris_photography est qu’on paie un hype Leica ou y a vraiment un plus majeur?

Franchement c’est un question de plaisir pour la marque et les finitions à mon avis. Si t’as pas le budget mais que tu veux un bel appareil l’evo est vraiment top (meme le design j’aime bien).

Ya I remember that one

Red - the color of the thumbnail

Well good news is there is the Evo for those who care about the price 🤷🏻

To be honest, it is not the same feeling when you can chose the "best" photo and the printing of the older ones (with no screen) seem a little more "analog" to me. That said, this brings a lot of creative possibilities to the table vs the older models. Cheers

Hello 👋🏼 no same exact thing between the 2 (no need to print on the evo - it has a memory card too). Leica is a little more premium on the finishing, that’s pretty much it. It’s a collaboration between the 2 brands. Cheers

Thanks for clarifying!!

Yep, it's indeed a collaboration between the 2 brands - no secret here :) Take care

I don’t want to put random photos and the ones that mater usually include my kids and family. It’s a regular fujifilm instax film - not much to show there 🤷🏻

@@cris_photographyno worries. I am interested in samples because this is printed from digital as opposed to normal polaroids that doesn't have the digital middlestep

Pretty pretty

Great camera too!

It’s a collaboration between the two (as mentioned in the video) so yes, very similar. Same thing though? No

@@cris_photography Exactly the same specs though - same tech, same printer, same film, same 'effects'. What are the differences bar the form factor?

@@GotAUkulelethe same could be said about phones, TVs, watches, lawnmowers…Buy what you want to buy/can afford. Having choice is important. I’d personally pay the extra because I do prefer the design of the Leica and there is nothing wrong with that.

@@lifeinorder8625 Yes to a point, and agreed on design. Not sure personally a different enclosure is worth the mark up, but that's me. Incidentally, have nothing against Leica - I shoot their camera already!

Please read previous comments

Ciao! Sfortunatamente non ho avuto la macchina più di un giorno e non ho avuto il tempo di farlo in italiano (l’ho anche fatto in francese). Prossima volta 🤦🏻😮‍💨

@@cris_photography sono in felice possessore di fuji mini evo. Volevo capire le differenze, sempre che ci siano. Sembrano la stessa macchina con loghi diversi

Di base è stato una collaborazione con Fuji quindi è più o meno la stessa cosa. Se hai un evo non penso cambi niente (cioè è soltanto il marchio che cambia come dici giustamente e l’estetica un po’)

@@cris_photography cambia anche il prezzo. Ho preso recentemente mini evo e fortunatamente hanno cambiato l'attacco mini usb con usbc. Posso domandarti qui una cosa su Leica q2 e q3?

@@samuelemambelli9245 certo, se no mi puoi mandare un email contact@crisphotography.info

Yes - but doesn’t have the same finishing and premium feel and - most of all - it’s a Leica. If you can afford it - why not? Other than that, yes it’s the same functions and results. It’s a collaboration between the 2 brands hence the similarities. Ps: why “poor” rebranded Evo? What’s poor about it?

@@cris_photography By poor i mean: 1) the concept about being the exactly same product without adding anything different to justify the project. 2) Style - as you also pointed out looks more like an ordinary instax camera for kids but with a more expensive price tag (if the price was less it would be understandable and not like a cheap generic plastic camera). 3) Leica has this premium stylish and unique concept because it is Leica, this camera has nothing like that sadly, meaning when you touch, hold any LEICA you can feel THIS IS LEICA and not a camera because the brand gives this feeling.

@Edvanfleury very true on the Leica quality. I guess it’s more of a “I can do I buy this instead of Fuji” type of thing for most. The concept is - in fact - a “cheap” camera for anyone for an affordable price that costs a lot. Not for everyone I guess. Personally I love my Evo and I wouldn’t change, but if I could chose and had the funds I’d prolly go with the Leica one 🤷🏻😊 Take care and thanks for sharing!

@@cris_photography sure thing. thanks for your reviews coz i didnt know this camera didnt exist.

Interesting enough.. I did and it’s in the video. Sure you didn’t watch something else? Lol

Prolly because the main target audience is not pro photographers or people that want a big format - that’s all. It is very hip and in fashion for youngsters to use these and the costs and size would turn them down. That’s my take but don’t think am far from the truth! Cheers

You can - sure

It’s more than just the utility of it though. It’s the joy of using such a camera. It’s the excitement of owning a Leica (even if it’s a plastic insta camera). It’s just something different than the norm - the norm is fine, but kind of boring.

I hear ya

Si ma non vedrai differenza quando stampi. Comunque puoi usare le photo del tuo cellulare e stamparle con la macchina 💪🏼

Che non ha senso,perchè la ricarica costa 1 euro a foto@@cris_photography

I megapixel non c’entrano niente visto che si stampa su una pellicola! Quindi anche se avesse 100mp non si verrebbe sul film. Così i files uno se li può tenere e se vuole stampare - stampa. Cosa non fa senso?
