willemr Posted October 7, 2023 Share #22 Posted October 7, 2023 7 hours ago, Anbaric said: It looks like the mini Evo also switched to USB-C partway through production ('in transition to since manufacturing of mini Evo brown'). The EU demands regarding universal charging ports (USB-C to rule them all) might also have something to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjans Posted October 7, 2023 Share #23 Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Indeed, as of Dec. 28, 2024, it is mandatory in the EU to have a USB-C port on: Smartphones Tablets Digital cameras Headphones Earbuds Handheld video game consoles Portable speakers e-readers Wireless earbuds Keyboards Mice Portable navigation systems The law does not apply to mobile devices released before December 2024. As of April 28, 2026, the law also goes into effect for laptops. Consequently, it makes sense that companies are already using USB-C when introducing new devices. Personally, I find USB-C much easier to use compared to the previously used mini or micro USB connectors. Edited October 7, 2023 by rjans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_ChrisDa_ Posted October 7, 2023 Share #24 Posted October 7, 2023 I don't understand the Leica policy. They abandoned the Xs, which were great and affordable Leica cameras. And now they put efford into such a toy, which you can buy much cheaper from another brand? Well, I guess they know what they are doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With something like this, they have to do very little development themselves, just the external shell and the menus. Incidentally, I wonder why the Sofort doesn't have the Fuji's cold shoe? Could be handy for an optical viewfinder or a shoe-mounted LED light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicci78 Posted October 10, 2023 Share #26 Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) double the price, just to use Fotos. I hope that the screen is at least better than the mini EVO Design looks nice on the front. but uninspiring on the other sides. Looks like it is made with the same low quality plastic as the mini EVO. The camera part is MEH, what is nice is the printer part. However I already use a much bigger size print with an Instax Wide Link. I am not going back to tiny Instax mini. Instax Wide link is around the same size as Sofort 2. Yes it uses Fujifilm app. But it is as good/as bad as Fotos. So... However it is many times cheaper. LEICA please stop stupid rebranding. It is bad, really bad. I only hurt your brand image. How many people is saying that Leica Q and SL cameras are only Panasonic in disguise ? Which is not even true. But people really believe that. And it is you fault, due to subpar LX100, FZ1000 or TZ200 and Instax mini rebranding. Edited October 10, 2023 by nicci78 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BavarianLord29 Posted November 11, 2023 Share #36 Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Hi, I bought my Sofort 2 today. On the advertisement and various videos they show that you can print photos taken from your phone with Leica Fotos and Sofort 2, but from my Android app I can't do it. I can control the camera and transfer pictures from the camera to my phone, but not the other way around. Can anyone help me? I have a Xiaomi 11T Pro.
