Leica Q
There's a lot of moire to clean up in the photos and a real grip would be nice for the money

Well-built body
24MP CMOS sensor with excellent detail and ISO performance
Amazing images, Solid, stylish build quality, The most modern Leica yet
It's so expensive, No higher ISO options, Quite heavy
LikeAmazing images.Solid, stylish build quality.The most modern Leica yet.Don't LikeIt's so expensive.No higher ISO options.Quite heavy.It's hard to recommend a camera that costs $6000, as the Leica Q does. There are cameras that are half as expensive and...
Some of the best and sharpest glass we've ever seen; Images are amazing out of the camera; Both colour and monochrome modes are real winners; Such a well built camera;
Very expensive (it's a Leica); Battery life needs work; More function buttons needed; No flash; Some of the auto modes aren't fantastic, such as panorama mode which doesn't appear to be all that amazing;
Leica's Q is a particularly interesting camera, and one that really grabs your attention, with so much going for it. It has the look of something old, and yet it is much much better than just another camera meant to capture the retro design of the heritag...
The Leica Q is a delightful camera to use – particularly for street and reportage photography, where its fast autofocusing and instant responsiveness and near silent operation place it in a class of its own. We shot 430 DNG+JPEG frames during the media da...
High price, No grip on the front, Large for a compact camera
A superb full-frame compact camera for those who like traditional controls and modern features like an electronic viewfinder. The Q is capable of producing beautiful quality images...
Abstract: The Leica Q is a hugely impressive camera that combines state-of-the-art technology with traditional design. The 28mm wide-angle lens is incredibly sharp and the fast electronic shutter, means you can shoot wide open at f/1.7 even in bright sunlight. The...
Abstract: Today even the smallest German-made Leicas (leaving aside the Panasonic-built mass sub-£1,000 models) are on the hefty side by current compact-camera standards. Yet while its digital offerings (it still makes film models) have a lot of sophisticated contr...
Fantastic handling and control, Excellent image quality, High-quality lens
Price pushes it into a niche, Video capabilities could be better
Leica Q (Typ 116) – Lens Is the Leica Q (Typ 116) features a fixed, prime 28mm lens, so considering whether this focal length will fit your style is important. Since the camera has a full-frame sensor, there's no length-changing crop factor either. For la...

Exceptional optical quality and sharpness throughout aperture range, superb image quality even into high ISO settings, classic Leica build quality is robust yet luxury, manual controls
JPEG standard contrast setting to excess, no tilt-angle screen, viewfinder eye-sensor a bit slow, continuous shooting on on/off switch, fiddly macro/manual focus release, no front grip
Leica cameras are known for being out of this world. Not just for their no-nonsense build and super-sharp picture quality, but astronomical pricing too. The Leica Q encompasses all of those things and yet despite its near-£3k price tag it's still an...
It isn't for everyone, but the Q is the Leica we've been waiting for. When I first picked up the Leica Q, pretty much the first words out of my mouth made me look like an idiot. I asked aloud, to a conference room full of several Leica people, how the...
