Chris Niccolls from the Camera Store in Canada had a chance to test the recently released full frame compact camera from Leica – the Leica Q – here are his thoughts.
The Leica Q which was announced just a few weeks ago is the first full frame Leica digital camera with a fixed lens. It is slightly similar in principle to the Leica T which Niccolls reviewed a few months ago, but it has a bigger sensor and can’t switch lenses plus has a few other important advantages like a very high resolution EVF, faster shooting speed and more.
Here are the main specs for the Leica Q:
- Sensor: 24.2MP full frame CMOS.
- Processor: Leica Maestro II Image Processor.
- Lens: fixed Leica Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH.
- ISO range: 100-50,000.
- LCD: 3.7″ 1040 million dot touchscreen.
- EVF: super high resolution – 3.68 MP LCOS Electronic Viewfinder.
- Continuous shooting speed: 10 fps.
- Video: 1080p @ 60 fps; with built-in stereo microphones.
- WIFI + app.
- Weight: 22.58 oz / 640 g.
- Price: $4250.
We are hoping that we will be able to test the Leica Q later on this year ourselves and see what we think about the camera, which from Niccolls’ review looks pretty interesting (eica price tag aside).
