Abstract: There's never been a better time to make the jump to a full-frame digital camera. Over the past few years, models with 24-by-36mm image sensors-the same dimensions as a frame of 35mm film-have become more and more affordable. And while the smaller APS-C s...
Stylish design, Traditional controls, Full-frame sensor
Expensive, Fixed lens, Fixed screen
For the average person, cameras like the Q2 are objects of lust that will almost likely never be seriously contemplated as a purchase, but if you're here hoping to read that this is an expensive toy for those with too much money you're only half right. It...
There's every likelihood that if you were actually in the market for a Leica camera, you wouldn't really care what a reviewer thinks. I expect many of those reading this probably won't actually buy one - they just like reading about Leica, in the same wa...
The original Q was already a fantastic camera, and the Leica Q2 adds an array of well-considered updates and tweaks. The higher resolution sensor, improved viewfinder, streamlined control setup and increased stamina all help to justify the £500 price hike...
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. However, if you're just focused on stills and...
Superb image quality, Amazing auto and manual focus, Great build quality
EVF lag (sometimes), Fixed LCD screen
The Leica Q2 is one of our favorite compact cameras. so it is no surprise that we really enjoy the Leica Q2 Reporter. Yes, it is expensive – but if you want the absolute best in luxury cameras, without the camera shouting that it is a luxury camera, thi...
Although at one point compact cameras routinely accepted 35mm film, full-frame compact digital cameras are very rare. The Leica Q2 has a high-resolution sensor that puts it on par with Panasonic's flagship Lumix DC-S1R, and although it doesn't quite match...
Pricey, basic video functionality, lacks mic and headphone jacks, Price: $4,995, Info: us.leicacamera.com
There are few fixed lens, full-frame cameras for the Q2 to compete against beyond Sony's RX1R II. Sony's model is not only less expensive, but lighter, with a tilting display and built-in flash. Still, the RX1R II only records full HD video, has a much sl...

Street, travel and casual photography as well as landscape photographers that make use of medium wide-angle lenses
Sports and action photographers that require longer focal lengths, and those that require a more robust video feature set
The sheer cost makes it difficult to be completely objective about the Q2. But by Leica's standards, we think it's a comparatively rational choice.Read moreSample galleryPuppies and landscapes and portraits, oh my! Check out our full sample image gallery...
Lens, Weather sealing, Low ISO image quality, Feel in the hand,
It's pricey, but I think that's fair, Autofocus
Before I begin this first impressions about the Leica Q2, I should totally apologize. While others have their reviews ready perhaps, I was fighting off pneumonia and so as of my writing this first impressions I've had the Leica Q2 in my hands for less tha...
