Discreet “P” styling with classic Leica script engraving on the top plate and no red dot logo.It’ll do sports, sure, but you’re pushing it. The autofocus is reasonably fast and this camera is made for street shooting. The high-res 3.68 megapixel EVF is integrated and the FOTOS app connects for sharing to social networks. To that point, the Q-P is built around Leica’s 24-megapixel full-frame sensor and Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH lens. While Leica isn’t engaged in the mirrorless arms race, their sensor and image quality will produce lovely photos. I’m also very fond of fixed, prime lenses to make yourself a better photographer and also the simplicity.
That’s so once you’re used to it, you can shoot by feel alone and with a fluidity toggling between manual and auto settings. The shutter release button and power switch/drive mode selector have been redesigned with each setting clicking into place. The Leica Q-P is More RefinedĬompared to the predecessor, the Q-P removes the Leica red dot logo from the front face, replacing it with a script engraved on the top plate. If you’re into camera specs, skip the Q, but if an heirloom piece you could hand down to your children, grandkids or a hipster will covet appeals to you, then the Q-P should be on your shopping list.
Instead, they immerse you in the process of taking a photo. The Leicas are not the fastest, don’t have the highest-resolution sensor or really any of the normal stuff that’s marketed to camera buyers.
