Realmente su nombre lo dice todo, es una Leica.Solo que bastante compacta, por lo que es ideal para viajes, mas no por su tamaño le resta nada. Tiene un lente maravilloso y una menu y manejo muy fácil, tanto en manual como en automático.Muy buena cámara

Update: Check the price before buying. This camera should be around $5000 but some resellers are selling for as much as $1000 more. Shop carefully.Original: I have recently re-discovered photography.Last year I picked up a Sony A6400 and a couple lenses. Although I certainly appreciated the Sony build and picture quality, the camera was too much for what I was looking for. I wanted something smaller and didn’t want to have to carry multiple lenses and think about which I wanted to use for each photo.I sold the a6400 and replaced it with a Sony RX100 VII which is (for my usage) the a6400 in a smaller package with a single zoom lens. The RX100 VII takes excellent photos, it’s super small, very pocketable. Overall this is the perfect camera with the only exception being the 3 million settings in the 2 million menus. I found I was generally shooting in full auto mode more than not but I wanted to be able to get more artistic with my photography and longed for a more minimal menu system and user experience.I looked around alot and the Q2 never really popped up on my radar right away but, once it did, I watched every video I could on it. It was certainly a risk for a $5000 camera but it seemed to me that the user experience was much more minimal, the controls on the camera seemed more immediate and to the point. I dove in – bought it here – and was amazed and knew I made the right choice from the first moment I held it.The camera is absolutely solid. The photos are amazing. The user interface (software) is clean and minimal and there are no extraneous settings. Unlike the Sony, you actually have a chance of understanding what each setting does and it’s quick to find things you’re looking for. However, now that I’ve had the camera for a month it is pretty well setup for me, and I rarely have to go into any menu anymore. The camera is very fast to use. I have two user profiles setup that are mostly similar with the exception that one is color and one is high-contrast black-and-white. They are very easy to switch between as needed. There is just enough ability to customize buttons and dials on the body.The best thing about the Q2 is that I don’t have to pre-decide aperture priority or shutter priority – I just turn the dials as I want them and the camera does the right thing. If I want to change the aperture I simply do it – using a physical dial/ring – the camera knows what I’m doing. I equate this to, if I’m thirsty, I just get a drink. I don’t have to tell the glass and the bourbon that I want a drink before I get a drink. I just get the drink! immediacy is key.The tactile feedback of this camera simply makes photography more fun and inspiring than I’ve ever experienced before. It feels amazing. Would I be happier if it was a tiny bit smaller and a wee bit lighter? Yes. But you quickly get used to it.I purchased the Leica thumb support (because I wanted an exact match for the design) and an extra battery. The strap that comes with it is pretty nice quality. I picked up a third-party leather wrist strap and titanium clips to make changing from neck to wrist straps easy. That’s really all you need with this camera. I never shoot with a flash so no need for that. I never shoot with a tripod so no need for that.This is the most compact camera kit I’ve ever had. The lack of ports actually makes it wonderful – no extra cables needed. The Lecia FOTOS app on iOS works really well. With the Sony I always have to fight to try to get the phone to connect to the camera. The Leica just connects and then allows me to transfer photos to my phone for instant backup/sharing, etc. Overall, the workflow of this camera is simple, clean, and doesn’t get in the way of the art itself! THAT is KEY!Regardless of the fact that “it’s a Lecia” – this is the perfect camera for someone who enjoys the art of photography, wants to shoot digital, and not have to fight with the hardware and software. I’m very happy with the Q2 and can’t wait to be un-locked-down so I can take it out further into the world.

Ive been using leica q 2 for two months now and i honestly can say i have never used anything more perfect in my life i have been shooting for 10 years with different cameras and this one is just ❤️

I love this camera that I bought for travelling as it is very convenient not to change the lenses and just enjoy the trip more. I am amazed how the manual zoom is working, it is amazing and so fun to use. You need an extra battery 100% as one battery lasts one day max or even less if you shoot a lot and especially if you use the application which is by the way very bad. Also I recommend the handgrip.

If you are a true believe in “simple is best” I cannot think of a camera that is better, period.Optically superb, its 47mp sensor will afford more details than you will ever need. Instead of troubling you with zoom, this camera forces you to think more simply, and “shoot now and crop later”. Its 28mm wide angle lens is more than adequate in most situations, and you can crop the image quite a lot yet maintaining details. You can always take 3 shots vertically to be stitched together.Shortly after getting this camera, I took it on a 2-week trip through Italy. I also brought the Leica SL with 24-90. Out of a few thousand pictures I took, I used the SL for less than 100.It is now my go-to camera for many situations from going on a hike to dinner parties (pre-COVID, anyway) Sure, it’s an overkill for 99% of use cases, but knowing that it has the extra power, you can become more confident it being the one and only camera to be carried.Price-wise, it’s like you are getting a top-quality 28mm lens, with a free body. Sure, it’s expensive, but far more economical and much lighter than comparable alternatives.

Added this to my digital arsenal. Being trained in film back in the day, I am still about the print, this camera produces great images at 16×20, I’m also shooting with a hasselblad x1d — both awesome cameras but different applications. The Q2 is fast, quiet and sharp. Living in a wet area I appreciate the sealed version of this camera. Easy to learn and master.UPDATE: After shooting this camera for awhile, and printing some of its images myself, I’m impressed. Nice color range, raw files are about 140Mb, plenty of clarity for 16×20”s. Extremely sharp, fast camera 📸. I also shoot a Hasselblad X1D, files are larger and hold up better than the Q2 when printing. I take the Q2 with me everywhere, I use the x1d when I’ve the time to set up and really explore an image. The Q2 is a really nice camera – I will continue to explore with it.

Why would anybody pay this much money for a fixed lens camera? Because it’s a Leica. Everything about it is different. I had to read the manual to figure out the two steps to remove the battery. Bought a Sony 300Mb/s tough card because it refused to use an old 150Mb/s SanDisk, need a ‘tough’ card because I will take it out often to download these 47mb big pictures. At the same time, I was amazed how intuitive is to use the menu and how easy it is to customize up to 8 functions in two buttons. The build and finish is old school like a Rolex watch. You know it will last for a long time and never lose its style. 28mm is the new 35mm these day. It’s wide enough for landscape yet it takes great picture of people. The fixed lens force you to carefully compose your picture. This is not a fast action, kid shooting camera. It’s mature and demands you to follow its pace and it pays back to you with beautiful result after you master the art.
