5 Reasons why I love this Q:
1. The photos are stunning - forget the specs and everything. The photos I am getting with this are just beautiful.
2. Speed - most people rate speed as in how fast the camera focuses and shoots when you press the shutter. I think of speed a little differently. I think of speed as measured from the time you decide you want to take the shot, then you have to frame, choose how you want to do it, and then press the shutter to focus and shoot. This is the fastest camera I have owned. This is because all the settings are placed just perfectly - aperture on the lens, manual focus lock on the lens and focus ring, etc. Whether I want to shoot auto or semi auto or manual, I have found this to be the fastest camera I have ever owned.
3. Somehow they got it right - placement of the various controls - I really enjoy handling the camera. This is subjective of course, and I love it.
4. The lens is amazing. Usually if you open up a lens 100% (in this case to f1.7) there is some degradation at the edges of the photo, so on other systems, I try not to open it all the way up to maximum aperture. On this Leica Q, you can truly use it at f1.7 and there is no degradation on the edges of the photo.
5. It is solid - built like a tank. While you do want to take care of this camera because it is expensive, this camera will take abuse and live. I will be taking it on all my trips - hiking etc. After all, the best camera is the one that you have with you.
So... now I need to wrap up my df and lenses and sign on to eBay.
On the plus side, all the things in other reviews are true. The super fast focus, great EV, and light weight are standouts.
I was intrigued by the Leica Q and in researching, also became interested in the Sony RX1Rm2. The RX100 is my comparison baseline. I know – this is a bit strange of a trio for comparison, but for me they fill the same use scenarios. I prefer wider angles, so the RX1 is at a disadvantage there.
As others have pointed out, Leica gets a lot right with the Q. The ergonomics are outstanding from the thumb impression on the back to the brilliant focus ring with the lock into AF or the little click out to MF. I also love the ring to move from normal focus ranges to macro and the manual focus magnification and focus peaking work well. The AF is very fast and the additional option to adjust focus point with the touchscreen is great.
Everything is not perfect, however. It's really annoying that the lens and camera body aren't aligned on a plane so that if you set the Q on a flat, hard surface, it wants to tilt forward (due to the weight of the glass at the end of the lens, I assume). I often brace a cam like this in low light or for a longer exposure and it's nearly impossible with the Q. The Sony RX100 and RX1Rii both handle this with no problem.
I did a lot of shooting with the RX100, RX1Rii and Q and with the EXIF data hidden, I could pretty easily pick the RX1 out from the 100 and the Q but could often not distinguish the 100 and Q. Now obviously with FF vs 1" there were some DoF differences between the 100 and the Q but in looking at the in focus areas they both shared, I often couldn't tell them apart by IQ. The RX1 really destroyed both of the others in IQ.
The other factor I didn’t like with the Q was its almost obsessive tendency to use f/1.7 with everything on full auto. I honestly thought for a couple days that there was a FW bug causing full auto to lock on f/1.7. With FF and f/1.7, you often get too shallow a DoF when shooting animals or people. So I found myself defaulting to aperture priority, which can cause a lot of missed moments in much of the shooting I do.
The Q is also significantly bigger than the RX1 which is in turn significantly bigger than the RX100. In real life, the Q appears to be bigger in each of H, W and D than the RX1 which is bigger in all three dimensions than the RX100. The Q is really not pocketable under any definition while the RX100 is pocketable in almost any pocket. The RX1 is “semi-pocketable”, made difficult mainly by its depth.
Factoring in all of this plus the $4K+ price, I returned the Q. I just wasn’t sure I would get the value from it, especially with the f/1.7 "lock" issue and the IQ that’s a full generation behind other sensors.

Chaque euro est justifié.
Pourrait le livrer avec sa sacoche quand même.Pour quand même faire une critique.
The 28mm f1.7 summilux lense is absolutely stunning. Compact but not too small to be to tactile and useable (unlike the Fuji X100T lense which is nice but too small even for my small hands). The focus ring/tab is buttery smooth and has the right amount of resistance to allow for accurate focusing. When combined with the focus peaking setting (zoomed in and coloured highlights) the manual focus is such a dream to use that I find it just as useable as the auto focus.
The camera has a simple menu that is easy to navigate when out shooting and doesn't bog the user down in endless lists of useless features. It's a menu for photographers...it is very easy to use.
The size/build is a delight. Very robust and dense aluminium/magnesium construction that has the perfect balance when held. I would strongly recommend adding the Leica Q grip to your purchase as this makes a very marked difference to grip/ergonomics in my opinion.
The picture quality is stunning. Very Leica. Very crisp but with a pleasing bokeh (even at 28mm as is restricted by this lense). I was always a die hard fan of the 35mm focal length but I was instantly converted.
Above all, the Leica Q is like a Fuji X100T on steroids...some very serious steroids. Yes it's pricey but actually quite a good deal when you consider what you're actually getting for this price and when you consider the price of the new Leica M10 body alone is around £5,600.
