I bought a Q2 primarily as a result of watching your review. Then I used the Q2 for a couple of weeks. Then I looked at your review again and you were dead on accurate! For me, an amateur photographer for 50 years, it is a revelation. After all this time of switching cameras, switching lenses, and all the practice that goes along with this process, I was tired of all the clutter that I was producing. So I purged my camera closet and dove into the Q2. I have not looked back. I do not need all the interchangeable lenses. I have the time and the mobility to move closer as needed; to take the time to do it right. I love this camera and I have a feeling that it will be with me for many many years. Thanks again for your excellent reviews!
As a man in his sixties, I will be getting rid of my work cameras (Canon) when I stop shooting weddings, events, and sports. I will then buy a Q2 (or an upcoming Q3) for personal photography. Thank you for the great review.
I have resently bought, the Q2, it brings back my old days up in me, in 1978 with my Nikon F2 (manual focus and so on), I knew al the tricks back then, I will be back doing manual work on the Q2, "But you still have to know what wat you are doing", :-), Very nice lively Review. :;)
The Leica seems like such a cool camera!And to a longtime aspiring to be photographer like myself; I definitely see it as an art form.These videos are very positive and bring a lot of motivation!
Bought a used Q. The previous owner upgraded to a Q2. I had always been sceptical about being happy with a fixed 28mm, but after a good experience with the GR III, I took the plunge. I must say that the experience of shooting with the Q is very good. Considering a Q2 ;)
I love my Q. By the way, most people that ask me how I can you shoot only with a 28mm all the time, are the same people that use their iPhone with a 28mm all day.
I just ordered a Q2 thanks to your review, Leigh! I have watched you for quite some time. You are thorough and very knowledgeable in your reviews. Thanks for your honesty.
Nice review for those who already know what it is to shoot manually, and to those who understand the trilogy of aperture, shutter speed, ISO. I own a Q and absolutely love it. I use it in all the ways it can be used depending on my mood and the subject. Thanks for the review. I have not ventured into the Q2 yet.
Wow in 2 seconds I was impressed by this glamorous smile and clicked like because I reacted with a big smile as well. Thank you for the nice energy. Nice content of course in your video!
I own a Q and am in the preorder list for the Q2 at Leica Store Miami. One thing I'm really glad you touched on is video quality. For me, gorgeous video is a stand out feature of the original Q. It quickly became my favorite video camera due to the smoothness of the manual focus and the ease of focus peaking. That produces some lovely professional looking results that are far more difficult with lesser cameras. I am really excited to see the Q2's 4K video so I can match the resolution of my other cameras. It's true that the Q2 is a very expensive camera, but this form of precision lens full frame compact camera is extremely expensive no matter how it's done. It is also all-inclusive - all you need is a memory card and maybe an extra battery and you're in business. If you consider the cost of the lenses normally purchased with full-frame Nikon cameras, you could spend just as much and get a much clumsier and harder to handle system. Of course if you want to shoot birds or animals at long range, this camera is not for you, but if you specialize in people or landscapes and like shorter range photography, it is ideal and will serve you superbly for years. I had to downsize from a Nikon D5 and 24-70 f/2.8 lens because it was getting increasingly hard to hold it for long periods of time. With the Q, I get almost the same image quality and don't need to lift the huge weight everywhere. I expect the Q2 to be even better and am excited to take delivery of one soon.
...fantastic... she knows about photography, cameras, does not have visible tatoos, neither wears a baseball cap inside home (like 99% of idiots around....), takes nice photos, is at ease with the technicalities...and does not put heavy metal noise (some call it music) in the video.... although I do not have the Q2 (I have the Monochrom and the MP) Well...liked and subscribed!!!
I would love to get one. It's the type of camera I would be happy to have as my only camera. In fact that would be worth considering. Selling all the gear I don't use so much, and buying one of these. Great review BTW.
I'm great at buying but selling is difficult. My Q is fantastic and easy on the eye. I may look into this Q2 and get one. May decide on my Q type 116 sell point. Love it though. One photographer out there sold me on the Q in 2016 and she uses hers a great deal. It took a while on a waiting list but it did end in my hands. So very happy that day. Thank you P.
Wow. It’s on pre-order here in Singapore. Delivery expected in May 2019. Thanks for the review. Your pictures are stunning. Reminded me of the times when I had a Minolta TC-1. Images from the tiny mighty was just stellar.
I am on the Q2 waiting list and look forward to buying one. I'm also one of the people who want high quality phots but don't know much, anything, about the details. I like you comment about simplicity, flexibility and setting for ISO use. Thank you for an enthusiastic and very helpful review..
Great review. I think many photographers would benefit from this camera which encourages people to ‘look’ for the ideal image rather than get lost in technicalities. Shame that it is cost prohibitive, but the quality is there.
I switched from Nikon 850 to Sony a7r3 for the lighter weight and advanced focus features. I bought multiple lenses but fought I really only use one the 25-105 F4 for its reach and semi macro close up, but the combo is still heavy and bulky for travel and street shooting. Q2 does not cost much more than a7r3+lens, but it seems to offer everything I like to do without the complexity. 28mm is wide enough for most landscape shots for me and the cropping mode is fine for portrait; I love the macro feature which I use very often. Will Q2 replace my Sony is not sure, but I definitely like to try it out.
When editing photos in LR have you ever used the AUTO feature in LR, it quickly makes your photo look better very quickly instead of taking 10 minutes tweaking all the controls.
Lovely review (like the strong horizontal clamshell lighting!) Thanks! I ordered a Q2 here in the UK last night. The camera shop told me I’m 59th in line and so far they’ve received 4 units. Could be a loooooong wait.
Great review, thank you! What I find interesting is that Leica also goes for the high megapixel sensor. I just bought the Sony A7R2 with 42 mp and I feel that the high pixel count just gives you this little extra overall sharpness and IQ, even if seen on a 4K screen that only resolves 8 megapixels. It could be that the edge details remain even when the image is downsampled.
Excellent review. I am thinking about purchasing this camera for my upcoming King’s Trail hike in Sweden. I already use the Leica Noctivid binocular and the optics are the best in the BINO space. I am a novice photographer (at best), but is sounds like this model is easy on rookies. Thanks for your comprehensive review. Very well done. JK
yes you mentioned memory cards ..wooow what a turkey iv been , nikon d850 .images take a bit to view .. but with all the tech in the camera ..i always thought thats the pay off for huge files .. my card got filled and i found a kingston card in my bag ( tester off my pal) wooow this thing has sped my d850 up like iv never seen it ..cards make a huuuge difference
Thanks for a really good review... I've owned the first Q since it came out. It's my go-to camera for the street and more. But, I recently bought a CL which, by the way, uses the same batteries as the first Q. Good thing because I'll use that as my reason for not spending five grand on the new Q2. I'd love to have it, but I'll look forward to the Q3. Or, maybe I'll sell all of my Olympus gear for the Q2. Nah... I'll wait for the 3. Thanks again.
Thanks for this very interesting review (one more!). I’ve had the privilege to own a Q for a couple of years, and can’t say enough good things about it. Whether I took it on a road trip, or for some street photography, or for some indoor photos, it’s never felt limited. I love the way it feels, and as you mentioned, the simplicity of the UI and the lens controls are an absolute joy to use. Whether I would upgrade to the Q2? So far the answer would be negative, simply because of the associated cost and the fact that I just love the Q! Still, your review shows that whether you go for a Q or its younger brother, you’ll definitely get a very special camera. Thanks again for your numerous great reviews.
I mostly shoot film, and I use M3’s and a few other rangefinder cameras. Like Contax. But have been thinking about a M9 when I came across this video. So, what to do? Maybe the first Q? And nice video by the way.
If we want to go full pedantic here, check the verb form of "film" in a dictionary. I appreciate the origin of the word, but the actual physical media has worked its way out of the definition.

Very nice review Madame. I probably buy myself this camera on of these days for my first expérience with the Leica cameras. The following step would be surely the Leica M11 when it will be released. Thank you.
Its a great "family" ;) I had the Titanium Q and sold it for a Fuji system and regretted it in some ways, fast forward a few years and i was on the fence of buying the Q2. Saw the Q-P and fell in love with the look of it. read a lot of reviews on the Q2 and decided i would be "happier" with the Q-P considering the extra cost as well as nothing really motivating that extra cost for me. Id love a Q-P with weather sealing though...;)
What you're seeing there was introduced by the stabilization we ran on the footage in FCPX. It was a very cold and windy day, so we stabilized the footage in post so that it would be usable.
I love my Q and will not update it anytime soon. I still have my Nikon FX DSLR and Fujifilm X gear. Maybe I sell the Fujifilm stuff at some point because it's too similar but never the Nikon camera and lenses because that's a different type of shooting pictures.
Yes , the price tag is kinda high for what it does. But if there any serious birders or perhaps hi end DSLR owners here you’re gonna find that it’s less expensive than some nice glass or any of the “big 3” high end bodies.
I never discuss the price, cause it'll be forgotten soon, but the quality will remain. I see the Q2 as a logical supplement for a press photographer, a point and shoot camera for aprox half the price of a M10P and a 28/1.4. It's weather and dust sealed, you can have it as a part of you. I'm looking forward to buy a Q2.
Hello Brittany I'm wondering if you would recommend the Q2 of the Fuji X100F for a person who is new to photography and likes to take spontaneous photos of people in the street and on the beach Thx Sarah
I have both cameras. If you start out in photography, I suggest you go with the Fuji first. It is also a great camera and helps you to find out what is important to you and what you will shoot most, before making the real big investment. From the user interface and philosophy, those are the two cameras closest to each other.
Good review. I"m gonna have to sell some stuff to be able to afford one and I'm not even sure I want one. Studies like this make me think I do! The "Leica" I'm currently using is my Canon G7x Mark II, and there may be absolutely no comparison between the two, but I love it. That is until I test a Q2. Thank you!
No, CFexpress firmware updates are coming to the Nikon Z6/Z7 and Panasonic S1/S1R because they have XQD card slots. The XQD/CFexpress form-factor is very different from the SD form-factor - larger, more robust.

A tip : watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
@Milo Rocky definitely, I have been using Flixzone} for since november myself :D
Pre-ordered today. Always regretted not getting the Q until now. It was worth the 4 year wait.
If I ever hit the lottery, this is the first thing I will buy!

Looks like a stellar product. Unfortunately, I didn’t go to dental school :) Thanks for another stellar review!!
You had me at Grand Canyon. The photos answered perfectly how it would be for landscape. I am truly grateful.
I can confirm this is an amazeballs camera. My other camera is a Sony a7 IV, but I pick this one up ALL THE TIME - it makes me excited to go shoot

I am nostalgic about Leica because my dad had one from the 50s and I got to use it while I was growing up.
Today everyone is jumping out with reviews ... your is the best. Got my order in for the q2

I made a test on Q2 Leica Bangkok Friday, I found that the ISO on Q2 was less efficient than the Q-P, The rest very good camera
Great review
A very tempting camera, after my M7 and X100f
Watching this has Upset Me / Wished I had one of These.
Love that camera.

So true!
Great review! Now I know to wait for the 47MP Leica SL2!
I'm really hoping that the "...aspherical micro lenses..." of the Panasonic S1R mean that it will be optimised for M lenses :)
Thank you.
Thanks for your in-depth review!

Sounds like a brilliant camera. Great review and results.
Nice camera, but for that price, it should offer lens interchangeability.
Funny but I shoot with a D850 and I have the same feeling towards my new Z6...it’s small and light a just really fun to use.

I think it will make a great 60th birthday present.......only three years
Thanks for the great video. Man what a beauty of a camera. Absolutely amazing IQ and feature set from the little guy. Time to start saving 🤪
I ordered one this morning. enough said.
Very nice review! Hoping to see the Q2’s sensor in an M11 soon.
I have the original version and really like your review of the new one. It certainly looks like a worthwhile upgrade!

Hi, Thank you for your great reviews. Would buying a Q be silly? I know you purchased a Q2, so should I continue and save for the Q2? Cheers Chris
I love my Q and will not update it anytime soon. I still have my Nikon FX DSLR and Fujifilm X gear. Maybe I sell the Fujifilm stuff at some point because it's too similar but never the Nikon camera and lenses because that's a different type of shooting pictures.
my only hope for the Q2 to improve from the Q which I love to shoot with is it will get the body edge brassing after used a while. but it won't. :(
Yes , the price tag is kinda high for what it does. But if there any serious birders or perhaps hi end DSLR owners here you’re gonna find that it’s less expensive than some nice glass or any of the “big 3” high end bodies.
What is the difference in video between this and the CL? Fast focusing? Quality the same?
Great pics and excellent review. Well done!
I never discuss the price, cause it'll be forgotten soon, but the quality will remain. I see the Q2 as a logical supplement for a press photographer, a point and shoot camera for aprox half the price of a M10P and a 28/1.4. It's weather and dust sealed, you can have it as a part of you. I'm looking forward to buy a Q2.
really great review and presentation!
I think leica Q will looks better for architecture photography and street photography compare to landscape. I wish I could have one
Sample photos look like they are shot on an old Nikon DSLR
Which means they are awesome.
My kinda camera. I’ll have to wait till next year but selling off some gear to for sure buy this!
Gr8 photographs , Nice video :)
Simplicity, performance, quality. These are the 3 characteristics of the Q2 which is just made for getting pleasure during making photos. Enjoy.
Going to rent one for a trip to Paris, I have a feeling I will have a tough time sending it back.
What is the name of background sound in the slide show ?

Great review!!
You meant Leica Diva-tees right? :-) Many don't even know what they have in their hands.
I wonder if this camera would be better with a 24mms lens... but 28mm isn't a bad choice. Also, is it a silent shutter?
I want this camera so much 😩😭😭
No way! I just found your channel again after losing access to my last RUclips account! Glad to see you're still killing it!
Very nice review of a great camera! By the way... DR is 14 not 13 stops. :))
How do the Q2’s B&W images compare with the Q2 Monochrome’s? I can’t rationalize paying more for a camera that is limited.
Good review. I"m gonna have to sell some stuff to be able to afford one and I'm not even sure I want one. Studies like this make me think I do! The "Leica" I'm currently using is my Canon G7x Mark II, and there may be absolutely no comparison between the two, but I love it. That is until I test a Q2.
Thank you!
Great video and thanks for the update. Question: Is the SD card CFexpress compatible?
No, CFexpress firmware updates are coming to the Nikon Z6/Z7 and Panasonic S1/S1R because they have XQD card slots. The XQD/CFexpress form-factor is very different from the SD form-factor - larger, more robust.
Would love to see some SOOC images.
Perfect review. Perfect.
video is nice but why there is wobbling-distortion on the corners ?
You are either noticing me moving the camera because the shots were handheld or it's the stabilization from FCPX.
great video
Thanks for the review - In crop mode, does the chosen 'focal length' fill up the viewfinder?
No, there is a rectangle that shows you where the borders of the image are.
