The Leica Q is everything we expect a Leica to be. It's amazingly well made; the build-quality and physical appearance are remarkable. It also produces images of exceptionally high quality. It has its peculiarities, for sure, like the bewilderingly poor l...
Expensive. No built-in flash. Touch screen focus could be better implemented. Lacks 24fps video option
