I would really like to have a nice small photo printer which can provide a quality close to color labs. Would be useful to print photos from my phone.

Who is the target customer of this product? Nowadays everyone has a smartphone to take pictures, so a mobile printer without the camera does that same. I doubt this takes better pictures than a modern smartphone.

Didn't HP do something similar a few years back, a mini portable printer called Sprocket to get mini photos?
No matter how cute and fun it seemed when it launched, it was a total market failure.
While HP bet it could sell more ink and photo paper with this thing, Leica may think this will revive its consumer camera business somehow.

I understand why people love Leica cameras even though they're pretty expensive, but who's going to buy this? A sensor the size of a grain of rice with a resolution to match and being able to print them on film that'll most likely be Leica expensive all for $390? Unless the Leica brand is that strong I don't see how this is going to sell given the piece relative to the hardware.
