The Leica Sofort 2 Burton Edition is based on Leica's Sofort 2 instant camera but features an exclusive "Jake Blue" design pattern.
According to Leica, Jake Burton Carpenter, the founder of Burton Snowboards, used Leica cameras for years before passing away in 2019.
In addition to the unique blue design, the Sofort 2 Burton Edition also includes the Burton logo on the camera's top plate and ships with a custom Burton camera bag.
Unlike instant cameras that simply capture images on instant film, the Sofort 2 is a 4. 9MP compact camera/printer hybrid. It uses a tiny Type 1/5 (2. 9x2. 2mm) CMOS sensor and a 2. 4mm F2 lens that gives a 28mm equiv angle of view. It's compatible with Fujifilm's Instax Mini film.

The camera captures images digitally, lets users decide which ones they want to print, and allows users to share photos to the Leica Fotos smartphone app. The Fotos app can also send any image in a smartphone's photo library to the camera for printing.
The Leica Sofort 2 Burton Edition is available for an eye-watering price of $599, a $200 premium over the standard Sofort 2 model, or €595 in Europe, including VAT.
