Leica Q2 Monochrom Compact Full-Frame Camera

Synthesizing the essence of their distinctive series, the Leica Q2 Monochrom stands as a single-purpose full-frame compact camera equipped with a 47.3MP black-and-white sensor dedicated to capturing high-quality monochrome images. This specialized black-and-white sensor discards the color filter array, permitting the capture of luminance values to render increased depth and visual clarity as well as heightened sensitivity up to ISO 100,000, diminishing noise levels for challenging lighting conditions. The sensor configuration also disregards an optical low-pass filter, enhancing its microlens array, which contributes to sharper, more detailed photographs. Apart from its Monochrom capabilities, the Q2 variant maintains swift performance and easy operation. The sensor works alongside a Maestro II processor to support rapid shooting up to 10 fps, dual DCI and UHD 4K video modes, and swift autofocus functions. The acknowledged Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH. lens is incorporated, impeccably paired with the sensor to deliver exceptional resolving power. Retaining the Q's revered slim design ideal for travel and street photography, the Monochrom edition opts for a subtle matte black finish, eschewing the iconic red Leica badge for understatement. Crafted of a magnesium alloy and sealing against the elements, it shares the enduring SL-series battery for enhanced longevity. Users can rely on a 3.68MP OLED electronic viewfinder for immersive monitoring or the 3.0" touchscreen LCD for simplicity in navigation and setting adjustments. Connectivity through Bluetooth LE and Wi-Fi is present for immediate image transfer and remote shooting through the Leica FOTOS application.
