Leica Q2 Review | Trusted Reviews
Leica Q2 review: A stunning, full-frame compact camera with few rivals in price or performance, the Q2 is a fine sequel to the Q (Typ 116).
Gorgeous design and solid build ; Excellent electronic viewfinder ; Sharp, highly detailed images, even at f/1.7 ; Very nice bokeh and out-of-focus characteristics ; Lovely colours in images
Awkwardly placed command dial ; Slight corner softness at f/1.7 ; No integrated grip can make for awkward handling ; Very expensive ; Limitations to video capture
The Q2 is a formidable camera, blessed with a bulletproof build, wonderful viewfinder and sterling image quality. Its handling won’t be for everyone, nor will the price tag or limitations of its video capture, but if you’re just focused on stills and...

Leica Q2 Monochrom review
A full-frame compact that only shoots in black and white might sound like folly, but the Leica Q2 Monochrom has won us over.
Full-frame 47.3MP sensor Fast f/1.7 maximum aperture Beautiful design and excellent build
That price tag Only shoots black-and-white Fixed 28mm wide-angle lens
There's no doubt that the Q2 Monochrom is extremely expensive for a compact camera, albeit one with a 47.3MP full-frame sensor. And even by Leica standards, it's monochrome-only sensor makes it extremely niche. But it does give photographers who'd like...

Leica Q2 review
Stunning? Yes. Seriously expensive? You bet.
full-frame sensor ; Fantastic handling ; 4K video
very expensive ; Very niche ; Limited battery life
A gorgeous design and build, with equally gorgeous pictures to boot. But it’s hard to justify the outlay for a camera like this unless you happen to be mega-wealthy. If you want something reasonably similar in operation and style, take a look at the...

Leica Q2 Monochrom Review
The Leica Q2 Monochrom may appear to be quite expensive, but it's unique in offering a 47mp full-frame monochrome sensor, a Leica 28mm f/1.7 lens with OIS and 4K CINE video recording. Find out how it performs in our review.
There's a high-resolution monochrome 47mp full-frame sensor, which, when combined with the Leica 28mm f/1.7 ASPH lens, is able to deliver extremely sharp result. The camera also offers an extremely quiet shutter, something that could be of particular...

Leica Q2 Monochrom Review
The Leica Q2 Monochrom is a speciality version of the Q2, made just for black-and-white imaging. It's not quite as versatile as the color edition, but it will make monochrome specialists happy—for a price.

Leica Q2 review
The Leica Q2 is an impressively capable fixed-lens, full-frame camera with a 47MP sensor and a sharp, stabilized 28mm F1.7 Summilux lens. It's styled like a traditional Leica M rangefinder and brings a host of updates to the hugely popular original...
The Leica Q2 is Leica's best camera. Or, at least, it's the easiest to justify. It's objectively very good at what it's trying to do, and doesn't have the kinds of omissions or shortcomings - such as the

Leica's pricey Q2 camera marries a superb lens to a high-resolution image sensor and puts it all in a travel-friendly, weather-sealed package.

The Leica Q2 is a fixed-lens, full-frame camera sporting a new 47.3MP sensor and a sharp, stabilized 28mm F1.7 Summilux lens. It's styled like a traditional Leica M rangefinder and replaces the hugely popular original Leica Q (Typ 116), launched in 2015.
